In this episode: Managing anxiety during the current season Tangible tips & coping mechanisms for managing stress Techniques for navigating fear in real time Refocusing your brain on what needs to be done I am so excited that you’re here today, because this is a really different style of episode & a super important topic. We are talking about anxiety, but the format is a little different because we actually stripped some audio from a video call we did with The Collective members. In our global personal development community we have bonus opportunities to connect on live calls with experts in different fields. One of them was with a psychotherapist named Kristi Thrailkill who I actually LOVE & has been on the podcast twice before as well. What you’re going to hear in today’s show is sound bites of Kristi doing a live Q&A with us talking about managing anxiety & navigating this season. There is so much going on & so much that we can’t control, so I just had to bring this content to you because I think you will get a ton of value from it. I can’t wait to hear what you think & don’t forget to tag us both with your takeaways on IG!   Quotes: “Are you listening to these messages and are they actually resonating with you, are they actually where you want to be? And if not, then be in your own camp.” “This isn’t a forever thing, so we want to be able to just get through it. It’s not a matter of learning to handle a pandemic well, it’s let’s survive it.” “If you have to watch the news, don’t do it the first 30 minutes that you wake up & don’t do it 30 minutes before you go to bed. It is so detrimental if the first thing you do is roll over & pick up your phone & read horrible stuff. Your day has set a foundation of feeling horrible.”   Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
