In this insightful episode of The Daily Helping, we welcome Allison Guilbault, a licensed therapist and the visionary behind Mindful Mental Health. Known for her expertise in anxiety, trauma, and intimacy, Allison also coaches women and hosts her own podcast, Becoming Unstoppable. With appearances in major outlets like Psychology Today and Medium, she brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for helping others unlock their inner strength.
Allison’s personal story began with her own struggles with anxiety, stretching back to high school. She recounts her first panic attack at 15, a moment that left her searching for answers and support in a time when mental health resources were far less accessible. This personal journey of navigating anxiety and seeking better mental health inspired her to become a therapist. She’s now committed to creating a safe space for others to explore their emotions, empowering them to find clarity and take charge of their lives.
A central takeaway from Allison’s work is the transformative power of mindset. She emphasizes the importance of flexibility, creativity, and patience when navigating life’s challenges. Using her own experience of leaving a high-powered, yet unfulfilling career as a private investigator, she highlights the value of small, creative steps toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. Whether it’s practicing somatic techniques, adopting empowering mantras, or seeking objective support, Allison reminds us that transformation begins within. As she says, “You can do it. Just keep reminding yourself.”
For those feeling stuck or overwhelmed, Allison’s advice provides a roadmap for reclaiming joy and purpose. Tune in to learn more about how to cultivate resilience and take the first steps toward becoming the best version of yourself.
