    228: Recovered & Rambling: Big Wins, Brains That Make No Sense, Food Poisoning, & Doctor's Appointments
    Mar 23 2026

    Why is it that we can sign up for the adrenaline of a new tattoo or riding a rollercoaster, but the idea of an unplanned panic attack feels like a 10/10 threat?

    Logic doesn't always live here, but we do! This month, we’re rambling through the highs and lows of living a recovered life. From Brittany’s big NYC comeback to Shannon’s "I’m definitely dying" food poisoning saga, we’re looking at what it really means to stop controlling the unknown and start living anyway.

    227: The Truth About Panic & Avoidance (That No One Talks About)
    Mar 16 2026

    Are you organizing your life around your goals and living life, or are you organizing it around the hope that you won’t feel anxious?

    When we think of avoidance, we usually picture the big, external "no-go" zones: the highway, the crowded grocery store, or traveling far from home. But there is a much quieter, more insidious form of avoidance that keeps people stuck in the anxiety cycle for years: the avoidance of feeling.

    In this episode, I peel back the curtain on why "managing" and "coping" can sometimes just be avoidance in disguise. I share why the desperate need to outrun sensations like dizziness, sweating, or that "hit" of panic actually drains your energy and shrinks your world. If you’ve been waiting to feel "calm enough" or "ready enough" to reclaim your life, this episode is the healthy push you need to start building self-trust today!

    226: How Long Does It Take to Recover from Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder?
    Mar 9 2026

    “How long until the anxiety goes away? How long until I can drive again? Am I going to be like this forever?”

    If you are struggling with panic disorder or agoraphobia, these are likely the questions keeping you up at night. I know because I asked them too. But here is the truth: when we ask about "how long," we aren’t usually looking for a date on a calendar, we’re looking for hope that we aren't broken and healing is actually possible.

    In this episode, I’m diving deep into the reality of the anxiety recovery timeline. I share why focusing on "when" actually slows you down, why "zero anxiety" is the wrong goal, and how to shift your perspective to finally find the relief you’ve been searching for.
