I’ve got something a little different to share with you this week…
If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, this might be especially helpful for you. Even if you’re reading this, thinking, ‘Nah, that’s not me. No anxiety here,’ I’ll nudge you to pay attention.
Anxiety isn’t just mental – it’s physiological.
And because it’s linked to our survival responses (that fight, flight, freeze energy), it can show up in unexpected ways, or be there under the surface without us even knowing it…

Today’s video gives you a sneak peek into a new long-form interview I recently recorded with my friend and colleague, Alex Howard, host of The Anxiety Super Conference (one of the few online summits I still say yes to).
This education-packed, week-long event is currently live (September 16 – 22). My full chat with him airs on Day 1 (that’s today!) and the topic is, ‘Why Deeper Healing Is Required to Resolve Anxiety.’ Catch this talk and more (all free!) by signing up via my special link.
BONUS: for those who would like to dive a little deeper into this topic from a nervous system POV, we’ve compiled this downloadable cheat sheet of all our “greatest hits” on anxiety.
Keep learning, keep healing, and keep going!
