Anxiety, the Brain, and Well-Being ft. Lily Sais

"Our inner wisdom is persistent, but quiet. It will always whisper, but it will never stop knocking at your door."
-Vironika Tugaleve

Mental health and anxiety have become buzz words, but what do they actually mean for our lives? How do we approach them in a way that supports our highest well-being? And how do we do that in the midst of middle school and high school? I had the privilege of chatting with Anxiety Coach, Lily Sais, about anxiety (of course), panic, our brains, thoughts, and well-being on this episode, and wow...if only I could wrap this up as a gift and give it to 13-year-old Alex.
