Jennifer Fisk: Battling Anxiety and Panic with Resilience

My greatest line from every any talk I've ever heard was: somebody told me to pull up my socks and I looked down and I wasn't wearing socks.
Imagine feeling a wave of panic every time you step into a social setting or face a new challenge at work. For Jennifer Fisk, this was her reality for most of her life. In this gripping episode of 'Life Unscripted', Jennifer opens up about her intense struggles with anxiety and panic attacks that held her back both socially and professionally.
She candidly shares how these overwhelming feelings prevented her from applying for promotions she was more than qualified for, casting a shadow of self-doubt and imposter syndrome over her ambitions. But Jennifer's story isn't just about the hardships; it's also about finding hope and support. Through her involvement with CMHA Niagara, she discovered a community that understood her plight and offered the resources she needed to start healing.
Jennifer's journey challenges the stereotypes surrounding mental illness and encourages others to seek help and support. Her story is a powerful reminder that while anxiety can be debilitating, it doesn't have to define your life. Tune in to hear how Jennifer confronted her fears, broke down the stigma, and found a path to resilience.
