Episode # 019: This episode promises to be a wild ride with Bonnie Brindle, The Anxiety Avenger™! We kick it off with a game: if anxiety’s a cheesy movie villain, she’s blasting it with lasers while I’m ducking behind the couch like, “Save me, Gandalf of Calm!” Bonnie spills the tea on her panic-packed past—agoraphobia shrinking her world, dropping out of college, the whole “trapped by a three-headed fang-beast” vibe. But she flipped the script, trading pills for wildlife imagery (think wolves and hawks as her posse) and cracking the crazymakers’ code—those sneaky roots like family baggage or society’s “just power through” BS.
We dive deep into taming the chaos—Bonnie’s dropping gems like Jin Shin Jyutsu finger holds and chatting up trees when our fellow humans just don’t get it. I’m over here confessing my social media meltdowns—scrolling’s my kryptonite—while she’s schooling us on energy blocks and why “woo-woo” beats Zoloft any day. We play “Drop the Plate” so hit play, snag Bonnie’s book Cracking the Crazymakers’ Code at her link below and join the avenger squad. This episode is a dopamine shot straight to your soul—let’s slay those inner dragons together!
Key Takeaways:
Summon Your Wildlife Crew: Call on a hawk or wolf (or your dog!) to ground you when anxiety’s creeping—Bonnie’s proof nature’s got your back.
Finger-Hold the Fear: Try Jin Shin Jyutsu—hold your thumb and index finger, breathe deep, and feel the calm zap in. It’s weirdly epic!
Ditch the Fake Flex: Quit chasing social media’s highlight reel—own your mess, talk it out (even to trees), and watch the chaos shrink.
