When Panic Strikes

Send us Fan MailWhen panic strikes, it hits before thought has a chance to catch up. In this episode, I get real about fear — not the idea of it, but the full-body experience. We’ll talk about how panic hijacks the brain, how to self-soothe, and what I learned on the trail when things got intense. A grounded, honest look at fear, and how to walk through it. Quote of the Week:“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” – Eleanor RooseveltReferences:Whalen, P.
