In this powerful first guest speaker episode, I sit down with Anna (“Anxious to Calm Anna”), a nurse who spent decades hiding her anxiety behind a brave face—navigating burnout, the medication cycle, and the pressure to just “cope.” 

Together, we get real about what it’s like to feel trapped by anxiety, why quick fixes rarely work, and the surprising role gut health and holistic practices played in Anna’s healing journey.

We’ll be discussing 👇

👉The raw truth about living with anxiety and perfectionism (without ever using the labels)

👉 Why medication alone wasn’t the answer—and what actually helped

👉 How gut health, breathwork, and simple morning rituals can help you reclaim your energy and confidence

👉 The power of questioning your thoughts, breaking free from old patterns, and learning to trust yourself again—even after years of feeling stuck

👉 Real stories of moving beyond isolation and finding community, hope, and joy again

If you’ve ever felt alone, exhausted, or like you’ve tried everything and nothing works—this episode is for you. 

You’ll walk away with hope, practical insights, and the reminder that you’re never too far gone to start your journey to freedom.

Love, Sofia xx
