Amy McInnes

In this episode I’m opening up about my journey with anxiety and panic attacks. It's a topic that I feel is important to share because I know many of you might be going through similar struggles.

For a long time, anxiety was a constant companion in my life. I dealt with panic attacks and had a full-on panic disorder that lasted nearly a decade. In today’s episode, I talk about how anxiety hit me out of nowhere, the effects it had on my life, what triggered my panic attacks, and the 3 things I did to overcome my panic disorder and anxious tendencies.
