I delve into the origins of my anxiety, which began in my late teens or early twenties, triggered by a specific alarming situation. While there may have been other contributing factors, anxiety was not a part of my childhood.\n\nI recount a particularly distressing incident in New York City where a loud alarm sounded, and no one came to help, intensifying my panic. This event left me in a constant state of unease and uncertainty about how to cope with my anxiety. However, as time went on, I found solace in the realms of philosophy and spirituality, diving into books that offered guidance and understanding. Through this exploration, I discovered yoga and the practice of mindful breathing, which provided temporary relief and allowed me to catch a glimpse of hope beyond the depths of anxiety.\n\nMeditation and mindfulness became my guiding lights, teaching me how to navigate stress and face challenges without succumbing to fear. Gradually, I found my way out of the dark abyss of anxiety. Although I struggled with anxiety for twenty years, I want you to know that you too can overcome it. Countless resources are available to assist you on your journey.\n\nAfter moving to Maui and working as a nutritionist with clients suffering from eating disorders, my interest in anxiety was piqued when I stumbled upon a podcast on Stitcher dedicated to the topic. I reached out to the host and ended up being a guest on the show. Eventually, the host decided to step down, and I was offered the opportunity to take over as the host of the Anxiety Coaches podcast. Although I was filled with both fear and excitement, I embraced the challenge.\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
