So can you define anxiety for us?

Because I think that it's a very broad definition.

But let's talk about what anxiety is.

Can you explain what is happening to our brain when we're dealing with anxiety or we're anxious?

How do you do that to where you're not constantly feeling, you go from anxiety to so anxious that it's like it's debilitating, right?

And I think that we see that oftentimes.

Is it you have to close that part out or you have to understand what's going on?

I do feel like I've seen community more of a calming response than anything else as the older I get.

You have your own personal story that you have shared.

Can we talk about that?

Sure.

Talk about your story and what happened with regard to anxiety and your brain.

Profound way to like just also remember them and understand how you felt about them on another level.

Yes.

First of all, the fact that that one sentence while you were doing that changed everything for you is incredible.

But also the fact that you were writing it in the middle in such two tragedies back to back about what you've been able to do to help so many people heal and see those things and see anxiety and maybe understand it better for themselves.

What's happening in the brain when we feel that anxiousness?

Because I want to break that way down.

So if you feel that fight or flight, and you feel that, and I can almost feel it when you say it.

Your heart's racing, you can't catch your breath, you're trying, now you're jumping on top of your breath and you can't get there.
