Our guest, Sara Kelly, shares her deeply personal story about learning at just 12 years old that her father had been given only 30 days to live. In an extraordinary turn of events, her father defied the odds and lived another 25 years, leaving Sara with a unique journey through grief, loss, and healing.

Sara offers wisdom and guidance for anyone navigating the grieving process, including:

Whether you're currently walking through your own grief or supporting someone who is, Sara’s story provides a powerful message of resilience and hope.

Welcome back to The Anxiety Chicks Podcast! This week's episode is just Taylor today. Taylor is a registered dietitian who works in private practice focused with clients on nutrition and wellness from an individualist approach rather than one diet fits all motto. In today's society we are thrown so many headlines on what not to eat, what to eat, trends, do this and not that.. etc. and it is all TOO MUCH. We are all feeling it even us professionals! In this episode Taylor breaks it down more simple on small steps you can take today to feel better rather than making extreme changes all at once. We want to add on to this episode with a conversational piece between Alison and Taylor so we can answer questions that someone not in a nutrition profession can ask. Send us your questions too!
