My Story with Panic Attacks & Anxiety - And the Tools that Helped Me Through It
Wed Feb 04 2026
For years, I pushed.
Through stress.
Through exhaustion.
Through warning signs I didn’t want to listen to.
In March 2025, my body finally forced me to stop.
In this episode of Million Dollar Seller, I share the honest story of my panic attacks — how they showed up, how long I ignored them, and the moment I realized my nervous system had been carrying everything I refused to feel.
I talk about what it’s really like when anxiety hits after years of pressure, responsibility, and self-imposed intensity — especially when you’re the person everyone else relies on.
I also walk through how I grounded myself, regulated my body, and slowly rebuilt stability instead of spiraling or shutting down.
At the end of the episode, I share 9 tools that helped me move through panic and anxiety and reconnect with a sense of calm, safety, and control — tools you can use if you’ve been pushing too hard for too long.
