Tackling Anxiety and Panic Attacks: Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara's Personal Strategies
I have to be very vigilant about panic attacks, which I had, you know, as a kid, which I've always had, and you know I have had now twice in the law firm, at partner meetings, where I was standing in the front of the room in front of all the partners, and twice after my book came out when I was doing readings and presenting to audiences.
Ever feel like anxiety and panic attacks are running your life? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara open up about their own battles with anxiety disorders. They share practical ways to manage those overwhelming moments, from mindfulness and breathwork to medication when needed. But it doesn't stop there. Lisa and Tawny also dive into daily habits that help keep anxiety at bay.
Think yoga, cutting back on news and social media, and living with more intention. They know all too well about those 3 a.m. wake-ups when your mind won't stop racing, and they offer tools to help change the channel in your head. For a fun twist, the episode features a Music Minute with Bo Burnham and Eminem, plus a nod to the book 'In Praise of Slowness' by Carl Honore.
Whether you're in recovery or just looking for some solid advice on handling anxiety, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable tips. It's like having a chat with friends who really get it.
