Don't Panek Podcast
Welcome to "Don't Panek," the podcast where we tackle life's most challenging moments and help you navigate through them without hitting the panic button. I'm Emily Panek, and I'm here to share my journey, insights, and experiences to help you stay calm, focused, and resilient in the face of adversity. Life throws us curveballs all the time, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But panicking rarely helps. In fact, it often leads to poor decisions with long-term consequences. That's why I started this podcast—to provide you with the tools, stories, and inspiration you need to keep moving forward, no matter what life throws your way. We'll have experts in mental health and wellness, financial advisors, career coaches, and inspirational figures who have successfully navigated their own crises. Together, we'll explore actionable strategies and share powerful stories that will empower you to stay calm and confident, no matter what life throws your way.
