What if you could carry calm in your pocket?

In this episode, we’re diving into the Panic Pack; a tiny, portable toolkit designed to help you ground yourself during moments of anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re familiar with DBT skills or just looking for practical ways to cope, this episode is packed with real-life tips, personal stories, and science-backed strategies to help you navigate big emotions on the go.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What a Panic Pack is and why it works (spoiler: it’s all about engaging your senses!).

✔️ How to build your own with budget-friendly, customizable items for sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

✔️ Real-life examples of when and how to use it, because self-care shouldn’t be complicated.

Plus, I’ll share a story about how my friend’s Panic Pack became her lifeline during overwhelming moments, and why grounding isn’t about avoiding emotions, it’s about giving yourself the tools to navigate them safely.

Because you deserve to feel safe, supported, and grounded. No matter where life takes you. 🧡

✔️ How faith helps her trust the process, even when life feels chaotic.

✔️ Practical self-care strategies for the overwhelmed hustler.

✔️ Why boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re necessary.

Because you don’t have to burn out to be successful. You deserve to thrive, not just survive. 🧡
