👀 Yeah, that's no joke. Here's the story...
I was diagnosed with anxiety 30+ yrs ago. Didn't hold me back from getting an MBA or a successful corporate career.
The stress of my work sometimes opened the door for my anxiety, but I pushed through and never let on.
In my late 40s things unraveled a bit...
I was laid off and said goodbye to that career
My mother passed away unexpectedly
A family member was diagnosed with cancer
My cat/best buddy of 17 years died
The pandemic started
Finally, some old health issues arose and I couldn't take anymore. My mind and body just freaked the F out!
The stress and anxiety went wild, I couldn't eat, and I was basically bed-ridden for several days and convinced I was going to die either from my physical illness, the anxiety, or both.
It had never been this bad.
With the support of my doctor and my husband, I recovered, but it was a wake-up call.
When I was strong enough, I went back to my yoga, breathwork, and meditation practice to continue my healing.
They helped me connect my body and mind. I learned my triggers and how to manage daily stress and anxiety.
With consistent practice, I'm better able to manage daily stress and not let it build up to an unmanageable level.
I know now that I have tools I can use and I no longer fear stress and anxiety.
I'm not special, I'm just like millions of other women, but I found a path forward that is accessible, affordable, and doesn't require hours out of the day.
If this helped me I knew it could help others.
And that's how Meg D Yoga came to be!
