Free From Anxiety - Gutsy Executive Coach

Is this the month that you get out of survival mode and say goodbye to anxiety? You may already be aware, but anxiety is a survival instinct that has gone haywire, and it can feel like your life is being taken over by an invisible jailer, leaving you powerless to control your thoughts. The worst part is when the people around you don’t understand what that’s like, or that talking therapy and life coaching has its limitations.

Today, I’d like to share with you that it IS possible to be free from anxiety, in as little as 6 weeks, even if your friends, family and your doctor have told you that you’ll need to be on medication or in therapy indefinitely.

Yes, you heard me… it’s possible.

If you’re like how I used to be, your anxiety is accompanied by a series of physiological symptoms. It can leave you wondering which came first – the thoughts, the racing heart, or that knotted feeling in the pit of your stomach?

With my 3 simple steps to becoming free from anxiety, you’ll finally get clarity on which is which!

Step 1. Understand the Biochemical Roots of Anxiety

Unfortunately, the current standard of care is to treat the condition, NOT the person. And while Anxiety affects about 20% of people in the US and over a third of people in the UK, each of these people can experience a myriad of triggers. If you’d like to be free from anxiety, your triggers need to be identified. So collecting biological DATA is the first step!

Is it a genetic pre-disposition, triggered by life events and situations?
Is it a detox pathway problem, impacted by mold or heavy metal exposure?
Is it a gut microbiome imbalance due to pathogens, fungus or parasites or viruses?
Is it due to food sensitivities?
Is it a nutrient deficiency due to poor absorption of nutrients? People can be eating very healthy food but because there’s leakiness in their GI tract or a lack of enzymes, they’re not able to extract all the nutrients they need like Vitamin B, or D to name a few.
Is it a hormonal imbalance?

Once these have been identified through functional lab work, then the road to optimal living becomes clear! Using the data you’ve gathered, you’re able to get specific on how to eat. It’s like having a project at work where you need to bring in a consultant… they’ll gather analytics about what’s not working and identify what you need to do to fix it quickly, saving you precious time. With lab work, you’ll finally have answers on whether it’s nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities or a leaky gut, or if it’s just genetic, but either way, you can THEN make aligned decisions around diet, rest, exercise, and supplements that are right for YOU!

Step 2. Change Your Lifestyle

This may look different based on what you find from the lab work, combined with an evaluation of your day-to-day routine, but some things are universal like:

Creating a better morning and evening routine
Practising Breathwork, Hypnosis or Meditation
Surrounding yourself with people on the same wave length as you
Doing meaningful work
Having purpose
Prioritising self-care EACH day
Prioritising FUN each day

Step 3. Rewire Your Neural Pathways by:

Becoming less reactive and more intentional in your thinking

Daily gratitude practice
Learning your Character Strengths and developing your self-confidence by trying new things, while reflecting on when you’ve successfully used your strengths in the past.
Only looking at, listening to or reading content that is uplifting and positive, that includes books like The Untethered Soul, by Michael A. Singer or GRIT by Angela Duckworth

I feel so passionate about this approach because I’ve seen it work so many times – firstly on myself, and then on people like my client, Fiona who struggled with panic attacks and insomnia that were impacting her performance at work. Within 6 weeks of us working together, she’d reclaimed her confidence and zest for life again, and was able to get her career and personal life back on track, just by making herself a priority and learning how to nourish her body and mind.

I want this for you too. Imagine having an experienced guide to support you through data-driven changes in a gradual and systematic way, while leveraging your strengths and holding you accountable.

This month, I’m opening up my schedule for 5 women who don’t have time to waste and are ready to shake off the shackles of anxiety, foggy thinking, and physical symptoms so that they can FINALLY step into being the fierce and powerful women they know they can be.

Once you’ve set up time, then drop me an email with the word FREEDOM in the subject and I’ll send over a short questionnaire for you to complete before we meet.

YES, I'M READY TO CHANGE MY LIFE
