This is the second episode of a two-part series about coping with anxiety. We discuss how it feels, what can help alleviate symptoms, and how the arts and movement can play a role in managing stress and mental health. (Normally I release every two weeks, but since this is a two-parter I wanted them closer together!)
In this episode of Lifeyness Jessie Shternshus, CEO of The Improv Effect, discusses her personal journey with anxiety from a young age.
Also find out how a simple game of hot potato inspired a lifelong friendship! ;-)
