Episode 5: You're Not Alone - Talking Anxiety with Ramon Sanchez, LCSW

Anxiety is something so many of us face, yet it’s often misunderstood or left unspoken. In this special episode of The Sync’d Self, I sit down with Ramon Sanchez, LCSW — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, co-owner of Cultura Mental Health, and host of the Destigmatize Mental Health Podcast.

Ramon is also the President of Raices of Kern, where he champions a community-first approach to ensure Latino and Hispanic families have access to the resources and support they need. Drawing from both his professional expertise and his personal mission, Ramon brings an honest, approachable perspective to the conversation on anxiety.

Together, we explore:
✔️ What anxiety really is (and how it differs from everyday stress)
✔️ Signs you might be overlooking in yourself or others
✔️ Quick, practical tools to calm anxiety in the moment
✔️ Why breaking the stigma matters — especially in underserved communities

This episode is a reminder that no matter where you are in your journey, you are not alone.
