If you live in Orange County, you already know the feeling. The 405, the packed schedule, the notifications that never stop. Anxiety doesn't always look like a panic attack. Sometimes it just feels like your body never fully exhales.

In this episode I talk about something I see every single day at Tea & Turmeric in Laguna Beach: people walking in wound up and walking out softer. Not because of anything magic, but because they slowed down for a few minutes and let their nervous system slow down for a few minute.

I get into the connection between stress, sleep, digestion, and your nervous system, and why so many of us are treating the symptoms instead of the root. I also share two teas that my customers keep coming back to, the Anti-Anxiety & Depression Herbal Tea and the Happy Place Mushroom Tea, and why they work the way they do.

There's also a short Loving-Kindness Meditation in this episode that you can do with your evening cup. Simple, quiet, and actually useful.

If you've been feeling like your body is stuck in high gear, this one's for you.
