I think, like my main thing is because what happened with me was just like so awful and so bad when I had my full-on breakdown and ended up in recovery. The coming back from that with virtually no assistance, because I lost a lot of friends and I lost a lot of people, and sort of crawling my way back, I think, took a lot of guts and a lot of bravery.
Ever feel like anxiety has you in a chokehold? Emily Laing sure does, and in this episode, she’s not shying away from it. Joined by comedian Thomas Green, Emily dives into the raw reality of living with anxiety. She talks about those days when her nerves feel like they’re doing a dance in her arms and her legs just won’t cooperate. But here's the kicker – as isolating as it feels, it's a shared experience.
Emily and Thomas get real about their struggles, from childhood anxieties to life-changing moves and leaving behind strict religious upbringings. They also touch on the importance of facing fears head-on and how a supportive partner can make all the difference in personal growth. And it’s not all heavy – they bring some light-hearted moments too, chatting about life with cats and the joy of trying new things.
This episode is a blend of vulnerability and humor, offering a refreshing take on anxiety and personal growth.
