In this episode of The Forge Within Podcast, we dive headfirst into the raw, unfiltered reality of living with anxiety. This isn’t a clinical breakdown or a polished pep talk — it’s a real conversation from someone who’s been in the trenches.

Sam opens up about the panic attacks, the silent spirals, the isolation that hides behind everyday smiles — and what it really takes to survive it. Not manage it. Not mask it. Survive it.

This episode explores:

• ​The invisible war inside your head
• ​Why anxiety doesn’t always “look” anxious
• ​The strength in admitting you’re not okay
• ​And the small, gritty wins that keep you going when nothing makes sense

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in your own mind… this one’s for you.This is not therapy. This is real talk. Welcome to The Forge Within.
