About this episode

TW: depression, health anxiety, death

The Chicks are so excited to bring you the “real life recovery” series. In today’s episode, Alison and Taylor interview friend and ‘real life’ anxiety recoverer & healer Stef (better known as @dearmyanxiety on Instagram). Stef recently went through one of the worst anxiety/depressive episodes of her life and wasn’t sure she would make it out alive. She openly discusses what may have contributed to her decline in mental health the last couple of months and how experiences in her childhood may be connected. Stef also shares why her recent OCD diagnosis actually saved her and how she was able to find light again after the worst spiral of her life.
