Do you know what anxiety really feels like? I\u2019m not talking about the emotions of fear or stress, but what it feels like in your body.
So many of us live with anxiety and don\u2019t even know it because it\u2019s SO physical. It\u2019s even easy to mistake it for physical disease, like heart issues or digestive issues.
That was the case for Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek, two soul sisters who are both mental health professionals and the founders of Anxiety Sisters, a supportive community for those living with anxiety. Though they can now see how their anxiety began showing up in early childhood, for years, they bounced from doctor to doctor and even spent time in the hospital before realizing the root cause of their suffering was anxiety.
This began their passion to help raise awareness around anxiety and help anxiety sufferers learn how to live full, happy lives \u2013 anxiety and all. We had an incredible conversation about all things anxiety and how to heal it, and I resonated with so many parts of their story\u2026these ladies are the real deal!
Listen to discover:
I know I have a lot of favorite topics, but anxiety is one I really feel we can't talk about enough. Too many people in the world are suffering from anxiety without even knowing it, and we have so many tools \u2013\xa0from our support system to our sensory system \u2013 to help us find peace and balance in life.
It\u2019s not about never feeling anxious again, but learning how to find your own brand of happiness and how to take charge so anxiety no longer runs the show.
