079:I Just (Can't Live In My Crazy Mind Anymore)! Now What? Krystal Chong

Hey Friends,  

So excited that my lovely friend Krystal joined me on the podcast today to share her story with anxiety and how she went from being told she was a 9 (out of ten) to living with zero anxiety, and coming off all her medication.   This episode is pack full of some really helpful insights of what it’s like to live with anxiety and how she used her’s to create the life she loves now! 

Krystal was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder as a child but found the medical system to be unhelpful and demotivating. She spent 20 years doing a cross section of research in neuroscience and spirituality, this led her to finding the solutions that allowed her to take her anxiety from a 10 to nearly 0. She’s been off meds for over 9 years and hasn’t had a single depression in over 10 years. These are results doctors told her was not possible.

Formerly the CMO for a publicly traded company, she understands the unique challenges high achievers face and specializes in high functioning anxiety. Krystal Chong is a holistic anxiety specialist, author and founder of Anxiety Schmanxiety and LIMITLESS, modern mental wellness programs. She helps big hearted over thinkers release anxiety at the root so they can truly thrive in their lives.
