“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”- Viktor Frankl
Hey guys and dolls,
Sorry it's been so long since i've recorded an episode!
I wanted to start the podcast back with my own personal experience dealing with anxiety, and the different ideas, tools and techniques I have used over the years to help overcome it.
I must preface this episode by saying that I'm not a trained mental health professional. I am just a person who has personally dealt with anxiety, and these are the most effective ways I have found of overcoming it.

2. Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and flatter your shape
3. Spend less time on social media and more time out in nature
4. Reflect on all the awesome things your body is capable of doing (that has nothing to do with how you physically look)

Today on the show I have EFT Coach, Life Coach and Energy Healer Tania Lopez-Cepero. She was diagnosed with Scoliosis at age 12. Her back pain left her often for days in bed. At age 13 she had 2 Harrington rods fused along her spine. For the following 20 years, she had pain on and off. She tried different things like physical therapy, massages, medication etc, but then she would have back pain return.
One day she found out about Emotional Freedom Technique aka tapping. Initially, Tania used EFT for her anxiety but quickly saw that it was helpful for pain as well. As Tania released the emotional components related to her back pain, she saw that her flare-ups were occurring less frequently and with less intensity. Since finding EFT, she rarely gets back spasms as she used to.
Tania liked this technique so much that she is now an EFT coach. She helps people finding the emotional causes of their pain and helps them release their stuck energy so they can enjoy fulfilling lives. If you want to check out her page, her website is www.tanialopezcepero.com
