Thriving Through Anxiety: @Veggiekins & @FreckledFoodie Share Their Stories, Tools, and Wisdom
Summary: We’re kicking off a brand new series today which I am personally very excited about—it’s called Thriving Through Anxiety. I wanted to create a series about how the bad things in our life can actually turn into some of the most transformative, rich, beautiful parts.<br> <br> In this episode, I’ve interviewed two of my favorite women on the internet about their anxiety stories. First up is Cameron Rogers, aka @freckledfoodie, sharing:<br> <br> * what "high-performing anxiety" is and how it impacted her life<br> * how her pregnancy has impacted her anxiety (including why she's taking anti-anxiety medicine during her pregnancy)<br> * the clear instructions she gave her partner for dealing with her anxiety<br> * a VERY frank & honest discussion about how her relationship with money has impacted her anxiety<br> * what influencer life is like behind the scenes<br> * the 3 things that have helped her anxiety the most (and the things she's tried that haven't worked at all)<br> * how she views anxiety as one of her superpowers<br> <br> Then, I chatted with Remy Park, the woman behind @veggiekins, about:<br> <br> * the various ways her anxiety has manifested, from her eating disorder to OCD to substance abuse<br> * her genius tip for finding an effective therapist<br> * her coping mechanisms for getting through her recent big breakup (including how she was brave enough to make the leap in the first place)<br> * how she deals with the anxiety that comes from the hates crimes against AAPI community<br> * the daily practices that help her anxiety the most<br> * the Eastern medicine practices she learned living in China that help with her anxiety<br> * how her veganism has impacted her anxiety<br> <br> My hope from these episodes is that, first and foremost, you’ll come away feeling less alone. I also hope you get some actionable tips and tricks and tools that can help you on your own journey, but also, maybe that it can help in a larger way to reframe something like anxiety as a beautiful, integral part of your experience on this planet.
