I was going to call this episode surviving to thriving. This was what I came up with a couple weeks ago.

But then this morning and last night, I just woke up with some of the worst anxiety I've had in like a year.

And I was like, damn, healing really isn't linear. Like you are doing better, but sometimes you need to revisit old lessons, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This episode is going to be about exactly how I personally have learned to manage my anxiety. Notice that I say manage because I'm not just like getting

rid of it. I'm actually just learning how to live with it. And these are not like tips that

you'll find on Google or from an AI. Like these are my personal things that have fucking worked for me in the last six years

of this healing journey, of this spiritual journey of this mental health journey.

And knowing that it's not linear.

Like I can say I am so much better.

My anxiety has healed so much.

And at the same time, I can wake up this morning with the fucking worst

acid reflux that I've had in like a year. And I'm like, damn, I'm still working through this

anxiety.

What's up guys and welcome back to skinny dipping. I'm Kayla Rose. If you know me, you know.

But if you don't know me, Skinny Dipping is the podcast where we strip down and dive in metaphorically to the mind, the body, and the soul in order to create actionable change in our lives.

And not going to lie, I did not want to record this episode today. Like, I am feeling so much

resistance right now. And this happens every single time without fail when I'm about to have

an expansion and a breakthrough. And this Saturday, 2, 2, February 22nd, I am re-premering

and rebranding the Soul in Progress online community,

which is a monthly membership. And I've done a lot of the creation for already. It's already done.

But now I'm getting all to the admin stuff that I've been putting off and I'm feeling so much

resistance. I know that this is the time.
