Summary

In the intro, Laura and Sarah open with some thoughts on anxiety and their own experiences. Then, Sarah interviews Maggie Sarachek, one of the two original self-named Anxiety Sisters, and author of the Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide.

She is a clinical social worker, mother, and has spent many years learning about and growing through anxiety, and now her passion is sharing it along with her "anxiety sister" Abbe Greenberg. She discusses the spectrum of anxiety, actionable tips for different levels of anxiety, postpartum anxiety and OCD, and managing anxiety in the workplace.

Resources Maggie mentions:

The Crisis Text Line at #741741 -- just text hi and they have resources to share for almost anything.

In the Q&A, a listener writes in seeking advice about strategies for returning from a sabbatical.
