I’ve always been the type of person who’s open to trying new things to manage my anxiety. Journaling? Absolutely. Breathing exercises? Every day. But a few years ago, someone gifted me a small pouch of crystals “for healing.” I appreciated the gesture, but I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. Crystals? For anxiety? Really? Still, curiosity won,…
It started with a dull ache — you know, the kind you brush off after sitting too long or lifting something awkwardly. I figured it was just a minor strain. But as days turned into weeks, that ache in my lower back evolved into sharp, radiating pain that shot down my leg. Sound familiar? If…
Back pain has been my annoying sidekick for over a decade—especially after sitting through long editing sessions and those ridiculously cramped flights. But here’s the thing: I always lumped all the discomfort under “back pain” until a few years ago, when I found out that what I was dealing with was actually sciatica. Yeah, there’s…
Ever been outside on a sunny day, looked up at the sky, and noticed tiny squiggles or threads floating in your vision? Welcome to the club. Eye floaters. They’re incredibly common, especially as we age. I started noticing them in my early 40s—just a few at first, mostly when staring at white walls or a…
Back when I first started digging into alternative therapies for anxiety, chiropractic care wasn’t even on my radar. It felt like something people only did for back pain or car accident injuries.

So here’s the thing—homeopathy and anxiety is one of those topics that everyone seems to have an opinion on, but barely anyone talks about openly. I’ve been on both sides: skeptical and hopeful. When anxiety had me waking up with a racing heart, losing focus at work, and even avoiding social gatherings, I was ready…
Middle back pain has this frustrating way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. I remember once, after a long weekend of rearranging furniture and pretending I knew what I was doing with DIY, I woke up to a stiff, nagging pain right between my shoulder blades. Not upper, not lower—right in…
When I first heard about EFT tapping for anxiety, I’ll admit—I was skeptical. It sounded a little too simple, almost gimmicky. Tap on your face and suddenly feel less anxious? Really? But after a particularly tough bout of anxiety that had me spiraling for weeks, I figured, why not? I tried it. And something shifted….
I’ll be honest—when someone first suggested hypnosis to help with my anxiety, I raised an eyebrow. I had this image in my head of swinging pocket watches, people clucking like chickens, and stage performers making folks forget their names. Sound familiar? But the more I dug into it, the more I realized I had hypnosis…
