Ep.70 How She Embraced Midlife Anxiety and Her Many Layers

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Earlier in 2023 I had a day where out of nowhere came a racing heart and super high anxiety. It was concerning to feel this out of control, and I never really pinpointed a cause other than maybe one of those annoying symptoms of menopause. I can't imagine feeling like that all the time, and it was enough of a wake-up call to prompt me to make some needed changes, and that included more intentional downtime and selfcare. As women, we do a lot and need to cut ourselves some slack.
In 2019 Melissa Crook had a health crisis that led her to seek help for unaddressed anxiety and suppressed emotions from her early life. This high energy lady had to learn to sit with herself to meditate, journal, get uncomfortable with her past, and deal with "her stuff" head-on.
Melissa knew she had so much to share around her own mental health journey that she started a podcast and a blog, where she brings guests to the table who are living out their best lives with true intent and health in their own unique way. She wants other women to know that they are not alone and that they have undeniable worth and value just as they were made. It's all about embracing our many beautiful and complicated layers and living unapologetically.
