221: Things I’m Doing to Support Myself Through This Hard Time - In Case You Need Support Too
02/2/2026 | 23min
What do you do when the world feels like it’s on fire, and your nervous system is simply running out of capacity to hold it all? Today, I’m stepping away from the usual "teaching" and "fixing" to have a very honest, human-to-human check-in. If you are sensitive, empathetic, and anxiety-leaning, you’ve likely been feeling the weight of the world's chaos, uncertainty, and pain. It is heavy, it is exhausting, and quite frankly, it makes sense that you’re struggling. I want to remind you that your dysregulation isn't a sign of weakness, it’s biology. In this episode, I share the personal practices I am leaning on right now to stay grounded when everything feels out of control.

220: Beyond Talk Therapy: How EMDR Targets the Root of Panic with Lilly Risch
26/1/2026 | 45min
Have you ever felt like you've talked about your anxiety until you're blue in the face, yet the panic still feels "stuck" in your body? In this episode, I'm joined by Lilly Risch, an expert EMDR therapist and consultant. We’re moving beyond traditional talk therapy to explore Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a body-based modality specifically designed to target the root of panic and anxiety disorders. "EMDR is a really powerful way to look at symptoms and help people make progress a lot quicker than traditional talk therapy... because our brains and our nervous systems are complex." — Lilly Risch------------------------------------------------------------------JOIN PANIC TO PEACE HERE: https://www.ahealthypush.com/live-panic-to-peace TAKE MY FREE QUIZ AND FIND OUT WHAT'S CAUSING YOU TO STAY STUCK: https://www.ahealthypush.com/blocking-quiz A HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/ GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/emdr-therapy
219: What Triggers Panic Attacks or Makes Them Worse?
19/1/2026 | 23min
Is your search for a "reason" behind your panic actually the thing keeping you stuck? When panic feels random and unpredictable, our natural human instinct is to figure out why. We scan our lives for patterns... asking what we ate, where we were, or what we were thinking, convinced that if we can just solve the mystery of the trigger, we can finally make the panic stop. In this episode, I explain why this constant monitoring is actually a trap that keeps your nervous system on high alert. Recovery isn't about building a "panic-proof" life or eliminating every trigger; it’s about changing your internal response to discomfort. I want to help you reframe the panic not as a reaction to a dangerous world, but as a misfiring of a protective system that is simply trying a little too hard to keep you safe.

218: Turning Down the Noise: How P2P Student Megan Reclaimed Her Life from Panic & Agoraphobia
12/1/2026 | 52min
What do you do when your world becomes so small that even the second floor of your own home feels like a place you need to escape? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Megan, a graduate of my Panic to Peace program, to talk about the raw reality of agoraphobia. Megan shares the "underwater" feeling of her first traumatic panic attack during an MRI and how her life eventually shrank until she was white-knuckling her way through every single day just to show up for her two daughters. Megan’s story is a beautiful look at the shift that happens when you stop fighting the feelings and start changing the way you talk to yourself. We talk about how she went from being housebound to navigating a four-day hospital stay with her child with a newfound sense of calm. If you feel stuck in the "noise" of anxiety, this conversation will show you exactly how Megan turned the volume down and reclaimed her life.

217: 4 Signs of Agoraphobia (And Why It’s Not Just Panic Disorder)
05/1/2026 | 26min
Agoraphobia doesn’t always look like being housebound (pst, it often doesn't). In this episode, I’m breaking down 4 common (and often overlooked) signs of agoraphobia, especially for people who are still “doing life..." going to work, running errands, traveling, or showing up for others, but feel like their world is quietly shrinking on the inside. I share from both my personal experience of living with panic disorder and agoraphobia for 15 years and the patterns I see every day in my work with clients and students. If you’ve ever thought, “This can’t be agoraphobia because I still do things,” this episode is for you.
