This is an episode that I never thought I’d be recording… You might already be aware that I’ve been struggling quite a bit this year, and I haven’t really shared specifics, but I’m sure you may have already come to some conclusions of your own.
And honestly, I don’t really feel ready to talk about what I’ve been going through, but the reality is that I don’t feel that I’m ever going to be ready to. But, I always want to be vulnerable with you and tell you what’s going on in my life - because even though I no longer struggle with anxiety, I absolutely experience struggles.
So, here goes lots of vulnerability, honesty, and rawness. Thank you for always loving and supporting me.

Jessica's story is a little different than what you typically hear on the podcast... She never struggled with anxiety until she had a random panic attack in a mall in 2023. After experiencing one panic attack, it quickly led to her restricting, limiting, and avoiding - especially driving. And like many, she desperately sought out a solution to make the panic attacks stop.
She joined Panic to Peace in January 2024 and has made incredible progress since - including taking a 5 hour road trip to her Cabin in Canada... by herself!
Together, we chat about:
What might have caused her first panic attackHer journey with medicationWhat has helped her along her journeyThe big things she's doing nowTune into the full episode for all of the goodness!
