If you've tried therapy, medication, journaling, and every mindset tool available - and you're still anxious - this episode is for you.
Stop trying to feel better - get better at feeling. I needed to hear that big time.
Anxiety is a core issue that so many women in midlife battle - and it impacts all of the other tough decisions and work we need to do. On this episode of the Better Podcast, @theanxietymd - physician and neuroscientist - explores why perimenopause turns up the volume on anxiety that felt manageable before, why overachievement is just another way of outrunning the alarm, and what you can actually do — today — to start healing from the body up.
