In this episode, you’ll learn from anxiety coach Heather Rider, who personally overcame high-functioning anxiety to lead a life with more grace and ease.
Heather is the author of the Anxiety Detox Workbook, a publication that allows clients to take consistent action towards improved mental wellness.
This episode is a fun add-on discussion to the recent interview
with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of the recently published
“Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety”.

We have 7 “fun nuggets” to share with you from this interview:
#1: High functioning anxiety is like having 2 layers of the brain: one is where you are present and calm, and the other is like a crazy hamster wheel
#2: To address high functioning anxiety, it is important to
address the hamster wheel (and get off it)
For a fun giggle, this link goes to my book trailer video for
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons. Notice the hamster on
the wheel!

#3: If YOU don't say no the body will say no
I mention a favorite book of mine called “When the Body Says No” by
Dr. Gabor Mate:

#4: Be open to signals from the universe
#5: Take consistent action towards mental wellness
