From Anxiety & Depression to True Alignm...

About this episode

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by emotions that you just wanted to escape your own body? I know that feeling all too well. For years, I lived with crippling anxiety, deep depression, and a victim mindset, believing that life was against me. I felt disconnected from myself and others, stuck in unhealthy patterns, and constantly searching for external validation.

But everything changed when I decided to take radical responsibility for my healing. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my deeply personal journey—how I went from emotional chaos to self-mastery, alignment, and true fulfillment.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ The pivotal moment that made me sick of my own patterns and sparked my transformation
✨ How childhood wounds and past trauma shaped my emotions, relationships, and self-worth
✨ The real reason I stayed stuck in a cycle of anxiety and depression for so long
✨ Why healing requires more than just talk therapy—and what actually worked for me
✨ How I shifted from emotional reactivity to self-trust, confidence, and deep inner peace
