Today, we have a brand new episode of Thriving Through Anxiety featuring the lovely Alex Snodgrass. Alex is the NYTimes best-selling author of The Defined Dish and the upcoming The Comfort Kitchen, and the woman behind the hugely successful blog and Instagram The Defined Dish.

On this episode, we talk about:

her anxiety journey

how having kids impacted her anxiety

her thoughts around medication and anxiety

how she manages her anxiety-related vertigo

the books, tools, and practices that have helped with her anxiety the most

what she eats to help with her anxiety

how she helps her husband and friends help her through harder times

how social media and cancel culture impact her anxiety

the FIRST thing you should do to feel better when you’re feeling anxious

exactly how she overcame her fear of flying

Whether or not you have anxiety, I hope you’re touched by Alex’s amazing story. I’d love to hear thoughts you have as you’re listening, so definitely screenshot and tag @lizmoody and @thedefineddish.
