If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety lives in your stomach, you’re not alone. Digestive issues like nausea, bloating, urgency, cramping, and food sensitivity are incredibly common, and incredibly frustrating, when you're dealing with anxiety and panic.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with years of daily stomach symptoms, constant testing, food fear, and the anxiety spiral that so many of you know all too well.

We’ll dive into:

• The powerful connection between your brain and your gut
• Why your symptoms aren’t all in your head (but also not all about anxiety)
• The pain points of living with stomach anxiety
• Why endless medical testing doesn’t always give you answers
• What actually helps - without restriction, obsession, or shame

Whether you’ve struggled with IBS, panic around bathroom access, or food avoidance, this episode will help you feel seen and give you real tools to begin healing.

Let’s be honest... panic attacks freaking suck! Sometimes, you don’t need a mindset shift or a breathing technique, you just need someone to say, “Yep, this is really hard, and you’re not crazy for feeling this way.”

In this episode, I’m keeping it real. I’m sharing some of my most intense, emotional, and yes, even funny panic attack stories to remind you that you’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken. Whether you've had one panic attack or a thousand, this episode is for you. It's part rant, part real talk, part deep validation, and (hopefully) a part of your healing journey.

We’ll talk about:

• The panic attacks that left me speeding down back roads or jumping curbs in drive-thrus (yep, seriously)
• What it really feels like in your body and mind when you're mid-panic
• Why panic disorder leaves you feeling unsafe and disconnected from yourself
• The harm panic can cause (even if it’s “just anxiety”)
• Why it’s totally okay to say “F*ck panic attacks” and still heal
• What I wish someone had said to me when I was struggling

This one is raw, vulnerable, and packed with truth. So if you're deep in it right now, know this: You are not broken. You’re not weak. You are healing, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Avoidance is something we all do, especially when it comes to anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia, but it’s also what keeps us stuck. So I've dedicated an entire conversation to unpacking avoidance: why it happens, how it shows up (even in sneaky ways), and what’s really at the root of it. Because I don't want you to stay stuck!

From fear of feeling to perfectionism and a lack of self-trust, I break down the most common reasons people avoid and helps you understand that avoidance isn’t weakness, it's a normal human response. Most importantly, I share what it actually takes to begin facing your fears without white-knuckling your way through.

I dive into:

• Why avoidance feels like relief (but keeps you stuck)
• The fear of feeling and how it fuels avoidance
• How past experiences with anxiety shape present-day avoidance
• The role of self-trust in recovery
• Why exposure therapy might not have worked for you, and what to do instead
• How perfectionism, shame, and overwhelm contribute to avoidance
• Steps to start building real safety and trust with yourself and your nervous system
