What do you do when panic strikes unexpectedly? Or when you’re plagued with intrusive thoughts on vacation? How about when you lose someone for the first time?

Mindfire is a road map for anyone who has ever struggled with mental health—and felt alone. Packed with real-life therapy definitions and self-care suggestions, Mindfire shows how you can level up and learn to love yourself—anxiety and all.We have a really incredible conversation with Carrie on her life, mental health journey, and the misconceptions of OCD and anxiety. We do want to quickly offer a trigger warning, that this conversation does include discussion of suicidal ideation and thoughts of self harm. If this isn’t supportive of your current journey, please tune back next week. We appreciate Carrie for her vulnerability and know you will love this episode as much has we did. Carrie’s book Mindfire will be released on May 13th and is available now for pre-order.
