It's Mental Health Awareness week and we're sitting down with Katie Maycock, an anxiety expert. Katie spent eighteen years of her life being repeatedly sick, never realizing the effect stress and anxiety had on her life and health. Eventually, Katie's career trajectory came to a grinding halt. She couldn't get out of bed. Her digestive system was unable to function properly. Her joints swelled and her face became riddled with cold sores. Naturally, she was miserable. ​

After years of denying the effects that stress and anxiety had on her body, Katie made learning about it her sole focus, spending the next few years developing and refining techniques to help break the cycle of stress and anxiety.

In this episode, Katie provides practical tools that help keep stress and anxiety to a minimum, while acknowledging the lifestyle that comes with working for startups and in other high-pressure environments.
