Nobody told me grief could feel exactly like an anxiety disorder.

I found out the hard way…after my dad died and my body completely fell apart in ways I didn’t know how to explain.

I wasn’t weeping all day. I was wired. Restless. Unable to settle. Convinced something else was wrong with me.

Spoiler: nothing else was wrong with me. I just hadn’t been given permission to grieve or the tools to do it in a way my body could actually feel.

If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through “anxiety” and it’s not getting better, your body might be trying to tell you something different.

Is it hard for you to to sit with sadness when the grief feels too heavy to carry?

You don’t have to do this alone. 🤍

The truth is… I didn’t realize I had anxiety as a kid.

I just thought this was my personality.

👉 the constant stomach aches
👉 being besties with the school nurse
👉 dreading sleepovers
👉 hiding in my room during holidays
👉 avoiding birthday parties

No one called it anxiety back then…
so I learned to call it “just who I am.”

But now I know—
that wasn’t personality.
That was a nervous system that didn’t feel safe yet.

And if this was you too…
you weren’t “shy,” “dramatic,” or “too sensitive.”

You were trying to cope the best way you could.

Healing sometimes looks like going back and finally understanding the younger version of you with compassion instead of confusion 🤍

💬 Did you have anxiety as a kid… or what do you realize now about your childhood that helps you understand your anxiety better?

Your anxiety is lying to you.
And the worst part? It’s convincing.

Anxiety doesn’t just make you feel scared — it makes you believe the fear is fact.

It whispers that you’re not capable. That you’ll fail. That it’s safer to stay small.

But here’s what I know after years of working with anxious women: the things anxiety tells you that you CAN’T do are usually the exact things you need to do most.

The job application. The hard conversation. The trip alone. The boundary. The dream.

Anxiety lies. Your potential doesn’t.

Every time you do the thing anyway — even shaking, even scared — you’re rewriting the story your nervous system has been telling you.
That’s not bravery. That’s healing.

If you’re a woman over 40 doing Easter solo this year 👉 this one’s for you.

Maybe your parents are gone. Maybe your family is far. Maybe it just didn’t work out the way you pictured.

And holidays have a way of making that grief louder.

So instead of pushing through or pretending it’s fine — what if you just made today yours?

I put together a list of new traditions for women doing Easter alone this year. Not as a replacement for what you’re missing. But as a gentle reminder that you still deserve a beautiful day.

Save this. Share it with a friend who needs it.

And if you want a place to land with women who just get it 👉 come find us over at . You don’t have to do this alone.
