I’ve been working through my own anxiety, and now that I actually have the ability to name that emotion, I’m so much more aware when it creeps in. The way you described the bubbling over, the peak, the hurricane...it was so relatable.

Thanks for writing!

Thanks, Emma! Awareness can be a powerful tool with anxiety. Although, wait until you see what I've written for next week. I needed something much stronger than awareness. Spoiler alert: it's about motherhood.

I always love a good story between ego vs authentic self. I named my ego And that last line of how your authentic self is quite annoying - that cracked me up.
