Anxiety isn’t just random worry or stress—it’s your soul’s way of whispering (or sometimes screaming), “Something has to change.” But too often, we push it aside, numb it, or chalk it up to just being a “busy working mom” thing.
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about my own struggles with anxiety—from the postpartum anxiety that had me on medication for seven years to the gut punch of realizing I may have passed it down to my daughter. We’re diving into:
✅ The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of anxiety that working moms ignore ✅ Why anxiety is so common for career-driven women juggling it all ✅ The stigma around anxiety & why we try to just “push through” ✅ The long-term side effects of relying solely on medication ✅ Practical, holistic coping mechanisms you can implement today—for yourself and for your kids
I also share the game-changing realization that allowed me to finally come off my anxiety meds—not because I “fixed” my brain, but because I started living in alignment with the life I was truly meant to have.
If you’ve been feeling that constant, simmering background anxiety… maybe it’s time to listen to what your soul is trying to tell you.
