This Episode

In today's episode, we listen to Bonnie Hewitt, an anxiety coach who understands her topics very deeply from firsthand experiences. Going through a number of mental health challenges, which led to physical health challenges, and thus a cycle of difficult health, Bonnie learned to overcome in a way  that allows her to help others with their challenges in a meaningful, practical, and powerful way.

Today we talk about everything from anxiety and health, to goals and even education. We seek to understand why we often react to situations the way we do and unpick how that has led to the responses we have now.

Bonnie Hewitt:

"Nearly a decade ago while working as an accountant and raising my two children alone, I was struck down by a rare illness and left paralyzed. Guillain Barre Syndrome had attacked my immune system and attempted to take me out. It didn't succeed."

"Over the past 10 years I've been diagnosed with multiple chronic health conditions, had two more children, and attempted to go back to my old life only to realize, that's not where I was supposed to be going. I had to let go of who I was in order to find out who I was really meant to be."

"Fast forward to 2021 and I've healed more than just my body and mind, but also my soul. I managed to start a business, and pitch my way to winning $50K in cash and prizes on David Meltzer's new Bloomberg TV show, 2 Minute Drill."

"I am currently scaling my apparel business Posh Notions, learning to speak writing my first book, and helping others manage and calm their anxiety through coaching them with what I've learned. I'm also raising kiddos, continuing to heal, protecting my energy, and sipping my favorite dark coffee. Making my way a little each day. :)"
