A podcast for all: from the always anxious to the occasionally overwhelmed to the painfully panicked. Join your host Kelli Walker – registered nurse, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and former agoraphobe – on an anxiety adventure. Learn what anxiety really is, why the best of us can get caught in its web, and how to move past its sticky grip. Casual conversations with Kelli and other experts will include more than reciting daily affirmations or following "five simple steps" to overcome anxiety. Instead, you'll get practical tips, resources, and guidance while gaining a down-to-earth and deeper understanding of what it means to be human – an easily overlooked part of truly moving past anxiety. No experience in deep breathing, chakra alignment, or pescetarianism required. Listen in for a good laugh and start feeling a little more human today.

Join Kelli and guest Kate Manser to talk about death. Yes, we know this is a sensitive subject for just about everyone (not just those of us in the midst of anxiety), but we approach the topic from a slightly different angle that hopefully makes death a little less terrifying. Spoiler alert: Kelli and Kate share their experiences with a once crippling fear of death, and both were able to make it through the conversation without throwing up! So, tune in for a not-so-bad chat about death.
