On today's show, we talk about Allison's journey with anxiety and how learning to embrace the anxiety has helped her to heal. We cover:

• how the term "mental illness" should lose its stigma

• how childhood anxiety & PTSD left her feeling isolation & lonely in her youth

• how "Matilda" gave her pause and clarity regarding it all
