Every time you agree to something you don’t want to do, you’re sending yourself a subtle message: my needs don’t matter.

Maybe that exact moment or the thing you agreed to isn’t so important, but that pattern teaches your mind and body over time. When you’re constantly putting yourself last, you’re reinforcing the same cycles that make anxiety recovery feel impossible.

Think about this: how often do you stop and ask if what you’re saying yes to aligns with the life you’re trying to build? If you’re always available for others, there’s rarely any space left for yourself. And yet, this space is what you need most for healing.

It’s time to finally shift that narrative. Starting today.

You can begin by checking in with yourself before committing to anything. Pause and ask: does this serve me? Does this move me closer to the version of myself I want to become? If the answer is no, give yourself permission to say no.

That’s not selfish – it’s clarity. It’s integrity. It’s building a foundation where you come first, so you can show up stronger and more grounded in everything you do.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to prioritize your needs without feeling guilty, step out of the people-pleasing cycle, and finally start living a life that’s aligned with your values—while easing anxiety’s hold on your life.

Anxiety recovery is never a smooth, linear path. Mine was no exception.

If you’ve ever thought I had everything figured out from the start, let me tell you – it was far from that. My journey was messy, and looking back, there are moments I can laugh about now but felt absolutely mortifying at the time.

From convincing myself I had mad cow disease, to planning a water fast while I was already severely underweight, to almost getting kicked off a flight mid-panic attack – these moments were rough. They were awkward. But they were also part of the process, showing just how unpredictable recovery can be.

Even when you know the principles of recovery, it doesn’t mean you’ll get everything right the first time – or avoid a few cringe-worthy situations along the way. But these stories remind me how far I’ve come, and they can remind you that even the messiest journeys can lead to healing.

Tune into this episode to hear the full stories and takeaways from my most awkward moments, and why I wouldn’t trade them for anything now.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• First panic attack at work and early confusion (00:40)
• Self-diagnosis with mad cow disease (01:31)
• Considering extreme water fasting in Costa Rica (04:15)
• Intense panic attack during a flight to Greece (07:48)
• Recovery setbacks despite understanding the principles (12:15)

We try everything we can think of to get rid of anxiety symptoms. Changing diet is one of those things. You’ve probably tried smoothies, supplements, counting macros, going full keto, or even embracing raw veganism in a desperate attempt to quiet the noise.

And sure, you might have noticed some small improvements here and there. But the symptoms remain stubborn as ever.

Here’s the thing: Anxiety isn’t something you can eat your way out of.

Yes, nutrition matters, and the gut-brain connection plays a role in how your body produces neurotransmitters. But real recovery goes far beyond cutting out junk food or eating more greens.

Being mindful of what you’re feeding your mind is just as important as what you’re feeding your body. You need to ‘change the diet’ of your mind too, focusing on calming your overactive nervous system and reshaping how you respond to stress.

In this episode, I’m diving into why true recovery takes more than eating healthy. If you join me, you’ll learn how to desensitize your nervous system, rewire thought patterns, and rethink the information you’re taking in every day.

This isn’t about quick fixes – it’s about finding lasting relief.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Importance of desensitizing the nervous system (00:45)
• Addressing mental health beyond diet and gut health (01:24)
• Experimenting with diets from keto to raw veganism (02:07)
• Combining diet, lifestyle, and recovery principles (03:33)
• Managing the information consumed for better recovery (05:00)
