Recently, I went on my very first solo trip! And here's a bit of a spoiler... it was absolutely amazing! When I struggled with anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, I rarely did anything alone. The thought of going out, let alone going on a trip by myself, was unimaginable.

And that's why I want to share the details of my solo trip with you! You'll see that despite having recovered from anxiety, I still experience fear and discomfort sometimes. But things just look a whole lot different when they do pop up!

We'll talk about the importance of embracing discomfort, ditching familiarity, and learning to trust ourselves a whole lot more in the process. And if you've been looking for a sign to go on a solo trip... this is it, my friend!

Make sure to tune in to the full episode for all of the goodness!

When I was struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, I did lots of pretending. And when I say lots, I mean every day! I didn’t want to allow myself to be human, and I certainly didn’t want to let others see that I didn’t have it all together.

This pretending might sound like… 

-Always saying you’re okay, even when you’re not 

-Pretending you’re not anxious

-Hiding the things you’re struggling with 

If you find yourself engaging in these behaviors this episode is for you, my friend! We’ll talk about why you might find yourself needing to pretend to be okay, and why it’s okay to not have it all together. Don’t forget to listen to the full episode for all the insights and goodness!
