Bye Bye Panic

How to Handle Chaos Without Spiraling


Listen Later

Most people think healing is about defeating something.

Like you’re either going to survive this or you’re not. And when your life feels like it’s flipped upside down, when you're going through symptoms and everything feels like chaos, your mind just goes: “Oh my God, is this the end?!”

But what I’ve come to realize – through panic attacks, through job loss, through grief – is that this isn’t the end. It’s just a transition. And when you’re in transition, that’s when the most growth happens.

In this episode, I’m walking you through what it really looks like to grow in the middle of the fire. 

I’ll talk about how chaos doesn’t mean something’s gone wrong – it actually means something’s waking up. I’ll share how losing my dog Layla cracked me open in a way that no symptom ever could… and why resisting that pain only makes it harder.

You don’t have to fight your way out. You don’t have to fix the chaos. You just have to allow the transition.

Tune in – especially if things feel messy right now. This one’s for you.
