After struggling with anxiety for most of my life, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in my early 20s, and I’ve had my fair share of tough times battling it and trying to overcome it. Although I’m not “cured” and still struggle with anxiety sometimes, my life has dramatically improved since practicing and implementing the six things I’m sharing in this episode (please note: I am NOT a doctor, a therapist or any sort of healthcare professional and am simply sharing what’s worked in my own life!).

I’m sharing my journey and the tools that have made it possible for me to improve my mental health in hopes that it helps you feel less alone, especially if you’re struggling or suffering, while also inspiring you to take incredible care of yourself – you deserve it.
