Since anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues of the 21st century, more and more people have tried to wrap their minds around how to move through it with grace. Caroline and I talk about what it means to reconnect with the body and remove shame - two of the most powerful ways to heal anxiety. 

We talk about what pleasure means and inviting movement in to heal our addiction to external validation. Kindness, softness and vulnerability often denote weakness in our culture, and Caroline and I discuss the fallacy of this notion. We cover everything from her story with anxiety to finding peace and purpose within ourselves.
