Breaking Up with Anxiety: Recent Episodes
Taylor Gendron
Meet Andrea Maxim, a mindset coach, master NLP practitioner, and hypnotherapy trainer. She specializes in working with women who are ready to break free from the grip of health anxiety, which is often triggered by past traumatic or emotional events. Her mission is to empower these women to step into their body confidence, personal power, and abundance.
In this episode, Andrea and I discuss the difference between anxiety that serves us and anxiety that holds us back. We also explore topics like navigating unsupportive family members, harnessing the power of mindset, NLP, and hypnosis, overcoming resistance to change, understanding the various manifestations of health anxiety, and how to identify triggers, among so much more!
This episode is packed with powerful insights, practical advice, and a deeper understanding of health anxiety and anxiety in general. It's time to break free from the cycle of fear and worry about your health and take control of your thoughts and emotions. I can't wait for you to listen!

It’s been 130 days since I decided to remove alcohol from my life. I had been thinking about it for a while and although I no longer have a “problem” with it, it wasn’t serving me physically, mentally or spiritually. I actually felt like it was holding me back from all that I could do and be. I also grew up watching somebody I love very much struggle with alcohol and because of that a part of me always knew I didn’t want alcohol in my life, even just casually.
If you’re starting to evaluate your relationship with alcohol or there’s someone in your life that you would like to learn more about how you could support them, this episode is for you!
Today, I am joined by my amazing colleague Dr. Arianna, a trauma-informed functional health consultant with a specialization in depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, who shares her inspiring journey of substance abuse and recovery.
Arianna and I talk about our personal experiences with substance abuse, the impact of alcohol on gut and mental health, our thoughts on moderate alcohol consumption, overcoming fear of judgment, the hard decisions we have had to make to heal, trusting yourself, letting go of regret, the philosophy behind intuitive sobriety, microdosing, emotional regulation strategies to process and move past any lingering hurt or trauma, practical tools and suggestions for leading a healthier, substance-free life and so much more!
Warning: This episode discusses topics surrounding suicide, substance abuse, drugs
and alcohol.

Lauren spent almost her whole life in denial that she had anxiety.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 26 years old, and this diagnosis became the catalyst for change in the rest of her life. She turned her pain into purpose, transitioning from a career in finance to becoming a holistic nutritionist and a master mindset coach with a specialization in breast cancer. As Lauren embarked on her personal healing journey, addressing both physical and mental health, she found herself drawn to plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca, which became instrumental in overcoming her own mental health struggles. Today, she leads women's mushroom retreats and is a certified plant medicine integration coach.
In this episode, Lauren and I chat about her realization of living with anxiety for years, her journey of recovering from breast cancer, the profound impact of ayahuasca and plant medicine, recognizing and shifting unconscious patterns, the concept of our bodies keeping score, somatic work, the power of therapy, dissociation, mindfulness practices, listening to our bodies, building a solid foundation for change, and the importance of supporting the physical body when dealing with an anxiety disorder. We also discuss the importance of emotional and mental support in the healing process.

Some people just have a highly sensitive nervous system and it doesn’t help that our world is one that is designed to constantly pull us into a sympathetic (fight or flight) state.
In today’s episode, I asked my amazing colleague, Dr. Kayla Clarke to shed some light on how we can align our body and mind with the demands of this fast-paced world, even when anxiety tries to throw us off track.
Kayla shares her personal journey of navigating anxiety, starting from a young age when she was diagnosed with OCD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. She opens up about the process of de-conditioning the labels that were placed upon her and discovering her own truth beyond those diagnoses.
As an empath and highly sensitive person, Kayla has learned to feel things deeply and embrace the energy that moves through her body. She challenges the notion that anxiety is something to be fixed or controlled, but rather an energy that can be acknowledged and allowed to flow through us. Which I love - obviously!!!
It's time to embrace all of who we are, honour our sensitivity, and find that sweet spot of resilience in the face of anxiety.

This episode is for all the mamas in my community!
Today, I welcome back the amazing April Mather (featured in episode 5) to share a treasure trove of tips, tools, and advice to help moms navigate the delicate balance between nurturing their family and caring for themselves.
April, a relationship and manifestation coach, and single mom, shares her own journey of realizing the importance of putting herself first. Looking back, April is amazed by how much motherhood changed the way she cared about herself. She was a nutritionist and yoga teacher prior to giving birth. Yet, the second her daughter was born, as a new mother, she had convinced herself that she no longer had time to prioritize herself.
Tune into today’s episode to discover how neglecting her own needs led to her feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and eventually landing in burnout. This ultimately “forced” her to embrace prioritizing her own health in order to be the best parent and individual she could be.

Welcome to Part 3 of the Real Root Causes of Anxiety series!
Today we dive into a very important conversation around exercise and mental health.
I used to believe that more exercise was the solution to my anxiety and panic disorder. Little did I know that all those cardio workouts were actually contributing to a hormonal imbalance and making my anxiety worse.
Yes, exercise can provide a temporary distraction from an anxious mind, but it's important to understand that not all exercise is good for your gut health, hormonal health and could be one of the reasons you are struggling to kick your anxiety to the curb once and for all!
Whether you are someone who works out a lot or someone who knows you need to increase your exercise but have no idea where to start, this episode will be for you!
To truly eliminate anxiety, it's crucial to understand your hormones and tailor your workouts accordingly.
Tune into this episode to learn about a powerful practice called cycle syncing that will help you to release your anxiety, skyrocket your energy, bring your libido back, help you sleep really well, support your gut health, boost productivity and help you navigate the stressors of life with a lot more ease!
