29. Anxiety Awareness

For this episode, we’re joined by our very own Emily to unpack what anxiety is, how it works in the body, what we can do about it, and how we can give compassion to those who are suffering. Plus, we start the episode with a cosmic update in time for the new moon, and an update from Em about how she’s working with youth mental health this week with Zero2Hero.
