Ever find yourself blindsided by frustration, your equilibrium knocked askew by life's unexpected tumbles? I'm Shannon Martin, and this heart-to-heart is a candid revelation of my own skirmish with anxiety—sparked by a lost set of keys and fueled by a stubborn dog in the Georgia heat. This episode of "This Thing Called Wellness" is an intimate journey through the ebbs and flows of mental and physical harmony, where I lay bare the moments that test our resilience and the journaling practice that helps me steer back to center.

Navigating the stormy waters of well-being can sometimes feel like holding together a ship with nothing but hope and pieces of tape. But in sharing stories—from the comfort food that nurtures us to the absence of a mother's reassuring presence—we stitch together a collective quilt of understanding and encouragement. No guests, just you and me, exploring how to reclaim peace amidst chaos, with laughter at life's quirks, tears for its trials, and an unwavering commitment to self-care. Because here, we're reminded that it's perfectly fine to acknowledge when we're not okay, and that the journey to wellness is as much about healing as it is about recognizing the need to heal.
