I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember. When I look back on my youth and early 20s, I didn’t know that the sweaty palms, tight chest, and endless thirst were all signs of something more profound: anxiety.
This week’s episode touches base on my path with anxiety, including before, during, and after pregnancy. You’ll also hear more about what I’m doing to help better navigate this disorder and how I’m supporting myself.
