"Accept-then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it." -Eckhart Tolle
On today's episode Abby and Margot welcome their next guest, Gabrielle Jacobson. Gabrielle is a former Oxford physics student who has transformed into a dedicated data scientist and coach. She channels her years of anxiety and learning about herself into mentoring others, volunteering to help people with their University applications and she's especially passionate about helping women who've experienced similar pressures on their journey. She shares that she recalls anxiety starting around age 10 and notes that she specifically felt it as a student when each year the coursework became more challenging. She talks about the ripple effect that academic anxiety seeped out into other areas of her life as well. Gabrielle shares that when she entered University, she began to work towards creating healthier habits surrounding her anxiety, such as therapy, tracking feelings, educating herself on the cyclical nature of her anxiety, finding community and more. Gabrielle's superpower is finding acceptance in where she's at, and meeting her needs with a sense of flow and empowerment.
