Hi I am Megan, and I battle with anxiety.

If you listened to my past podcast episodes or follow me on social media, I have shared bits and pieces with you on how I have battled anxiety. However, I have never really went in-depth about it.

Why?

It's been such a personal and long battle with me that I felt strong enough to always fight on my own. But when the topic kept coming to mind, I realized that maybe there was part of my journey or battle that someone else needed to hear. Feeling less alone or understanding that it can show up in so many different ways in your life.

So I did a full podcast episode on it.

Anxiety isn't something I have chosen by what and who I surround myself with, it is 100% in my genetic DNA and also shows up so prevalent in many of my family members.

It is both a curse and a beautiful gift.

My husband battles with "perfectionist anxiety" in which he self treats and lucky for our 3 biological children, they all have been blessed with different forms of it and 2 out of 3 of them have been in and out of therapy for it (thank goodness for people who know way more than me!)

So friend, if this speaks to you - you are not alone! And if it doesn't, it just might give you a better understanding to give grace to others around you who may battle with any kind of mental illness.

More than anything, it matters. YOU MATTER. Your genetic background matters and its important to take care of yourself and do what works best for you to live your best life here on this side of heaven!

Love + Friendship- Megan
