You don't have to read the news to know that anxiety is everywhere and anywhere these days, endemic across generations and cultures. But where Suzy confronts anxiety most often is in the Becoming You classroom, where her students ask a question many of us have wondered: How can I possibly design my perfect future when my head and heart are consumed with so much worry right here and now? 

In other words: Can career planning and anxiety even coexist? And if so, how?

In this episode of Becoming You, Suzy describes her own early encounters with anxiety and the strategies she used to beat back "the beast," as she calls it, but her recollections are expanded and deepened by the stories and insights offered by Chrissy Rutherford, a writer, cultural observer, and influencer who found her life's purpose even as she wrestled with panic attacks that started at age six. Today, Chrissy, an international traveler, astute commentator, and fashion icon, is a inspiring example of how to live with anxiety, not despite it. 

Indeed, it is an exploration of the gift of anxiety where this episode ultimately leads, as both Suzy and Chrissy relate how anxiety changed their lives -- for the better. Tune in to hear their message of power, transformation, and hope.
