Thriving Through Anxiety—Alex from The Defined Dish on How Having Kids Impacts Anxiety, Fear of Flying, and the Books and Practices that Help the Most

Today, we have a brand new episode of Thriving Through Anxiety featuring the lovely Alex Snodgrass. Alex is the NYTimes best-selling author of The Defined Dish and the upcoming The Comfort Kitchen, and the woman behind the hugely successful blog and Instagram The Defined Dish.

On this episode, we talk about:

• her anxiety journey
• how having kids impacted her anxiety 
• her thoughts around medication and anxiety
• how she manages her anxiety-related vertigo
• the books, tools, and practices that have helped with her anxiety the most 
• what she eats to help with her anxiety
• how she helps her husband and friends help her through harder times 
• how social media and cancel culture impact her anxiety
• the FIRST thing you should do to feel better when you’re feeling anxious
• exactly how she overcame her fear of flying

Whether or not you have anxiety, I hope you’re touched by Alex’s amazing story. I’d love to hear thoughts you have as you’re listening, so definitely screenshot and tag @lizmoody and @thedefineddish.
