185: Anxiety Recovery Success Story: From Hiding to Healing: How Lauren Faced Anxiety After Years of Avoidance

In this moving and relatable episode, I sit down with Lauren, a recent graduate of my Panic to Peace program, as she shares her powerful journey through anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia.

Lauren opens up about the life events that triggered her struggle—loss, burnout, and avoidance—and how it all came to a head during one hot summer day in Brooklyn.

We talk about:

  • The early signs of anxiety Lauren experienced as a child
  • The moment her panic and avoidance really took hold
  • The terrifying experience that led her to avoid heat, travel, and even grocery shopping
  • Her resistance to medication, perfectionist tendencies, and the shame she carried
  • How exposure work, therapy, community, and self-compassion helped her reclaim her life

Lauren’s story is not just inspiring—it’s packed with insights, validation, and reminders that you're not alone. She shares what helped her shift from fear and avoidance to confidence and freedom, and what it really took to heal (hint: it wasn’t just pushing through or trying harder!).

Whether you’re in the thick of anxiety or well into your recovery, this episode is a must-listen!
