Ep. 107 A Conversation About Panic Attacks + My Recent Experience With One

Welcome back to the podcast, friends!

If you're new here, I'm glad you found my show and we're now connected!

I did not release an episode last week, and I want to apologize for that. It was not my intention to miss recording and sharing an episode for you, my friends. However, I experienced a days long (nearly a full week) panic attack, and in the days leading up to my 33rd birthday, I was barely functioning.

Something happened at work that led to consequences I don't feel are fair, I'm dealing with health issues of my own, and there is heavy stuff going on with my family behind the scenes. My nervous system is in survival mode, and my body throwing me into a panic attack recently made realize I'm stuck in a fight or flight response. 

In today's episode friends, I get vulnerable and talk about the panic attack I recently experienced. I also share some of the things that eventually helped me pull myself out of it.

I want to remind you all of two important things. Sometimes our triggers + reactions to them can't be explained. Does that feel great when it happens? No, but this is part of our human experience. Also, one bad moment does absolutely NOT make you a bad/horrible/crappy human being.
