Creator of the blog adventures & anxiety, Lisa Poe (@adventuresandanxiety) is a proud mental health advocate. She has struggled with anxiety her entire life, and was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder in 2010. Lisa created the adventures & anxiety platform as an outlet to share her story, and to be a resource for others struggling with anxiety disorders. She shares mental health tips and tricks, her anxiety "toolkit", and encourages others to get vulnerable and share their stories, too.

In this episode, we chat about:

- Why she created her blog about anxiety two years ago and why she believes that sharing her story set her free

- The relationship between social media and anxiety and how to disconnect if social media feels overwhelming

- How a combination of therapy, medication, and holistic practices have helped her ease her anxiety and how she's working to end the stigma around taking medication

- The four main tools in her anxiety toolkit: expression, food, movement, and a solid support system

- Her experience with criticism and negative feedback as her audience has grown

- Why building a brand, a business, or a community takes TIME and the false "get rich quick" narratives we see in the online space

In this solo episode I share:

- Some words of encouragement if you're experiencing fear in your life or business

- How I've moved from distorted masculine to divine feminine in my business and am now connecting with the divine masculine aspects of myself as well

- How I worked through shame wounds around achievement, money, worth, and productivity

- How your capacity to hold space for yourself through pain rather than avoiding or numbing allows you to hear your body's wisdom more clearly

- How I've deepened into my power as an energy worker and how I bring that into my sessions and coaching containers
