69. Not Broken. Equipped: The Bravery You Need in Stress, Anxiety Symptoms, & Seasonal Depression

from Practical Solutions for PTSD | Anxiety Symptoms, Seasonal Depression, Isolation, Stress, Guilt, Loneliness · host Lori Owens - Master Resilience Training, Positive Psychology Instructor

If you feel like you’re drowning… burned out… or functioning, but barely, this episode is for you. In this Not Broken. Equipped. episode, we redefine bravery as something quiet and steady—found in the moments that often go unseen, especially when you’re navigating anxiety symptoms, seasonal depression, chronic stress, isolation, loneliness, and guilt. Bravery is facing the pain instead of avoiding it. It’s setting boundaries when you’re used to overgiving. It’s learning to say no without guilt. It’s respecting your limits instead of pushing past them. This isn’t about forcing yourself forward. It’s about choosing what’s true, one small moment at a time—even when your system feels overwhelmed or shut down. If you’re exhausted from holding everything together and feel unmoored or emotionally drained, this will help you find a gentler, more sustainable way to be brave. 🌿🎙️ LINKS:  Sign up for the Calm Emotional Overwhelm Workshop: ceoworkshop.grwebsite.com  Website: www.practicalsoluitionsforptsd.com Sign up for an Anxiety and Depression Breakthrough Coaching Session https://practicalsolutionsforptsd.com/breakthrough Become an Insider by signing up for the weekly newsletter: insider.grwebsite.com Join our Facebook community: (1) Overcome Depression & Anxiety - Use Positive Psychology to Combat PTSD | Facebook Get in touch!
