Ann Marie McQueen is a journalist who has struggled with anxiety and depression for much of her life. In her early forties, the coping mechanisms - like intense exercise and binge drinking - that had helped her to numb the intense feelings and emotions behind her anxiety and depression stopped working. In this episode, Ann Marie generously and vulnerably shares her own story of navigating the emotional, physical and spiritual transformation of midlife. If the hero's journey of midlife is personally relevant to you, please check out Ann Marie's newsletter at hotflashinc.substack.com and follow her @hotflashinc on Instagram and Tik Tok.
