It’s hard to explain something that doesn’t leave bruises. When you try to talk about anxiety to your family, it can feel like you’re describing a ghost—there’s nothing to see, but you feel it everywhere. I’ve been there more times than I can count. You finally work up the courage to open up, only to…
I’ll be honest—starting therapy was one of the most nerve-wracking decisions I ever made. Not because I didn’t want help, but because the whole idea felt… overwhelming. What if I couldn’t open up? What if I said the “wrong” thing? What if the therapist judged me? If that’s how you’re feeling right now, let me…
Life’s full of curveballs, right? Whether it’s starting a new job, moving across the country, having a baby, or navigating a breakup, major life changes have this sneaky way of throwing our emotions into a blender. For some of us, that blender is on high speed — and that’s what anxiety during major life changes…

I’ve been there more times than I can count. What I didn’t know at the time? That journaling can genuinely become a lifeline—*if you know how to use…
If you’ve ever found yourself worrying endlessly about something that hasn’t even happened yet, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—sitting in a coffee shop, feeling that tightness in my chest, thinking about a phone call I need to make next week. Not even today. Not even tomorrow. But next week. That’s what anticipatory grief and…
When I first joined an anxiety support group, I didn’t expect much. I figured I’d sit in a circle, listen to people talk about their problems, and maybe feel slightly less alone. But what I walked away with was so much more—real strategies, raw stories that hit me in the gut, and a sense of…
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.
