Today Dani talks with Melissa Mackey and they discuss a handful of power topics such as anxiety, coping mechanisms, the power of breath and movement, and so much more. Melissa dives deep into her own experience with anxiety and talks about how she’s consciously chosen not to identify as an “anxious person” just simply someone who experiences anxiety.

She talks about the ways in which she copes with anxiety and gives us actionable steps to feel lighter and more embodied. Melissa reminds us that we always have the opportunity to get back to the essence of who we are no matter how far we drift away and it’s from this essential part of us where we can truly expand, thrive, and enjoy life. 

They also talk about:  

• International travel  
• Her job as an architectural consultant in West LA  
• Melissa’s childhood and some of her people pleasing tendencies  
• Her rebellious streak  
• How becoming a co-owner of NOW Yoga practically fell in her lap  
• How Melissa infuses her own anxiety coping mechanisms into her yoga teaching
• Moving from a place of lack and scarcity to abundance  
• How to watch your thoughts  
• The importance of identifying your triggers when you are experiencing anxiety
