From Anxiety to Joy
We’re all on a quest for health and happiness. Today’s guest Bella Mahaya Carter’s quest dragged her kicking and screaming into spiritual adulthood. Bella’s anxiety and her desire to heal it holistically—even before she knew what it was—led her to face her fears, release perfectionism, surrender things beyond her control, and find validation within for her life and work. She joins me to share her journey as well as valuable tools for navigating anxiety and cultivating joy.
