  • On this episode I am joined by my former student Corrie, who opens up about her incredible journey through anxiety, trauma, and self-discovery. Her story is a powerful reminder of how resilient we can be, even when life throws us some major curveballs.

    Corrie took my 10-week program Panic to Peace, and has made huge steps to work through excessive worry, fear, panic, trauma, and grief.

    Together we spoke about the impact of unresolved trauma, coping mechanisms, and how Panic to Peace gave Corrie the tools and support to heal.

    This is a hugely inspirational anxiety success story. Be sure to listen to the full episode for all the wisdom and inspiration shared.

  • So recently my family hasn’t been able to catch a break from all the sicknesses! My 5-year-old, Amelia, had the worst of it when she caught norovirus, and it was the sickest she’s ever been!

    This sickness was super hard for her. After spending so much time feeling sick, she developed lots of what-if thoughts that sounded like…

    -What if I get sick at school?

    -What if I embarrass myself because I’m sick?

    -What if I have to throw up again and the sickness comes back?

    …If you struggle with anxiety, I’m sure you can relate. But Amelia’s story is such a powerful reminder that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, and it really just wants to protect us. 

    In this episode, we’ll talk about how I supported my daughter through all of the what-if thoughts, so you can learn how to better support yourself, too. 

    Make sure to tune into the full episode for all the helpful goodness!

  • You might remember Susanne from episode #57 of the podcast. If you haven't given that episode a listen yet, I totally recommend giving it a go before diving into this one.

    Susanne joined my Panic to Peace program in April 2022, having struggled with panic disorder and agoraphobia for 16 years. And today, her life looks a lot different - now that she is fully recovered!

    One of my favorite parts of running Panic to Peace is the community we've built and the connections I have made along the way. It was so amazing to reconnect with Susanne, catch up, and ask her a few questions. We talked about...

    What does life look now? Susanne's pregnancy, delivery, and becoming a momHow did you know you were recovered?What advice would you give to someone who doesn't think recovery is possible for them?

    And much more!

  • You may have seen the recent trend on Instagram where people are saying "Instagram is fake, here are some things I've been struggling with..." And they get vulnerable and share some pretty personal things they've been struggling with.

    And usually, I hate social media trends, but this is one I've kinda loved! Because if you know anything about me, you know how much I love vulnerability.

    So in this very personal episode, I want to share some things with you that I've been struggling with... Including feeling like I'm seriously lacking in the friends department, mom-guilt, body image issues, and my love/hate relationship with social media.

    Sharing these struggles hasn't been easy, but I believe in the power of honest conversations and getting vulnerable!

  • When you’re working to heal from anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, there are often lots of unknowns. You might constantly have thoughts that sound like…

    What if I never get better?What if I get worse?What if things always look like how they do right now?

    …And these thoughts can become pretty intrusive. When we hear the term ‘intrusive thought’, we often immediately jump to OCD. But many of these thoughts are simply caused by the fears that come along with recovering from panic disorder and agoraphobia. In this episode, we’ll talk about the difference between the two, and what we can do about intrusive or uncomfortable thoughts.

    Annie is joining me in this episode to ask questions directly from you, the A Healthy Push community! You’ll find lots of helpful information on identifying and navigating intrusive thoughts in this episode, so make sure to tune in for all of the goodness!
