Hello, I’m proud to introduce something I’ve been building for a long time: my new book, My Anxiety Made Me.

My Anxiety Made Me is written for anyone who experiences anxiety and for anyone who supports someone who does. Whether you’re the one experiencing it or you want to help a loved one, this is the book you’ve been looking for.
What’s Inside:

 You’ll find the non-clinical perspective on anxiety that usually gets left out of the conversation. There are thousands of books telling you how to manage it or make it stop. This isn’t one of them.

Why this book:
 I wrote this after 30 years of living with anxiety myself, as an athlete, through rebuilding my life from homelessness, and everywhere since. If you’re in therapy, good, this works alongside it, not instead of it. But therapy can’t be there at 3 am, before a performance, or during a meeting. This is for those moments. It especially benefits people who have not gone to therapy because they don’t think they should.  

Who can benefit from this?

 Students and youth — Non-clinical answers for the moment anxiety shows up, before a test, before a big game, or walking into a room that already has your stomach in knots.

 Educators, coaches, and staff — How anxiety actually shows up in the young people you work with, and the strategies most trainings never teach you.

 Neurodivergent community — Strategies built around how your mind actually works, not advice designed for someone else’s brain.

 Organizations and program leaders — A non-clinical approach that speaks to real life instead of sitting in a training binder nobody opens.

 Execs, leaders, and employees — How to perform under real pressure without waiting for the anxiety to disappear first, and turn it into information instead of an obstacle.

Preorders open later today…. I’ll drop the link right here the second it’s live.
