Summary

This week, we’re talking all about anxiety, ketamine therapy, and how this treatment is helping high-functioning women finally feel emotional relief. You don’t need to stay in a perpetual state of anxiety - there are resources out there that can truly help. In addition to therapy and other healing modalities, ketamine therapy has been a game-changer for me in managing anxiety. So I invited Dr. Kristin Arden from Mindbloom and Stephanie Trunzo the CEO of MERGE for a roundtable discussion on what ketamine therapy really is, how it works in the brain, and why it’s worth considering; especially if you’re a high-functioning woman navigating anxiety and overwhelm. We dig into what actually happens during treatment, the emotional rewiring that takes place, and how to know when it's working. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, I hope this conversation opens the door to a new kind of healing. What you’ll hear about in this episode: Why so many high-functioning women struggle with anxiety (6:13) What actually happens in the brain during a ketamine therapy session (10:11) The stigma around ketamine and how it’s being used safely and effectively today (19:40) What emotional rewiring really means and how to know it’s working (27:38) Resources: Devotion: A 6-Month Private Coaching Experience My Ketamine Therapy Journey secret podcast series Andrea on Instagram @heyandreaowen Mindbloom Ketamine Therapy Episode 600: Advice and Insights About Ketamine Therapy with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Kristin Arden Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
