4 REAL (and FREE!) Ways to Deal with Anxiety

November 30, 2018 by doitonadime Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs 7 Comments

Hey, guys! Today’s video is a special one! I’m here with my friend and Emotional Intelligence Coach, Dr. Shakila Angadi from @theinspireddentist, to talk about anxiety and four practical ways so you can take ACTION to find what makes you happy and getting started again in your home and life. This past year has marked a long battle for me with clinical anxiety and PTSD, so I know what it’s like being in a place of overwhelm. I lost my brother to a long battle with mental health issues, and for me, sharing strategies to help others will be a life-long mission. And hopefully, it will be a tangible way to help you. And that’s why it’s all free. I love you guys. I believe in you. I pray for you all the time.
