Notes To Self Segment - 003: Uncertainty gives me anxiety

Uncertainty gives me anxiety

It's exhausting to be in a constant state of GUESS MODE.

Welcome to the 3rd episode of “Notes To Self”, a segment of Found Family Podcast. “Notes To Self” are literally notes that I’ve written to myself on the Notes app on my iPhone where I admit my worst fears, talk about my triggers, and word vomit limiting beliefs as well as life-changing revelations on my recovery journey.
