"Why shouldn't quiet be strong? -Susan Cain
In today's episode, Abby and Margot welcome Nicole Smith to the podcast. Nicole is an RN, and certified yoga teacher. She shares that she didn't learn that she had anxiety until her 30's, and only after hearing the journey's of others did she fully understand this part of herself. A proud introvert, Nicole sees her quiet nature as a strength. She details the ways in which anxiety shows up in her life, such as constant mind racing, over analyzing/planning, and creating stories in her mind about the assumptions of others. Her work with children and women specifically allows Nicole to challenge her comfort zones, while simultaneously being her most authentic self. Nicole offers incredible wisdom as it relates to coping with anxiety, including exploring her narrative, pausing to breathe, and creating a positive inner monologue. Finally, the Warriors have a blast getting to know Nicole during lightning round!
