I'm here to confess something this week on TTFIO. I am a hypochondriac. As long as I can remember, I have experienced excessive worry and anxiety about my health. In this episode, I take you along my journey and explain my experience with health-related anxiety.

I was in a car accident with my mom when I was 8 years old, and since then, I've created stories and convinced myself that I am suffering serious illness despite medical reassurances that I am not. Good news is, I've started to figure it out. I'm starting to learn how to manage. And in this episode, I share what's really helped me better manage a decade worth of anxieties. Hope some of this can help you or someone you love.
