Anxiety. Anger. Stress. How do you handle these feelings when they come up as a busy, working mom? Today’s guest, Dr. Gina Schneider, talks about anxiety, anger, and stress and how to break free from these feelings when they sometimes seem to take over.

- Our belief that we must “do” instead of “pause and breathe”
- A deep breathing strategy specifically to reduce and break free of anxiety by lowering your heart rate and oxygenating your brain
- Positive emotions and their connection to creativity and ability to problem solve
- A fascinating research study that shows we lose actual vision in panic and stress
- Generating feelings of mild joy and contentment on purpose
- Children “borrowing” our calm instead of our anxiety
- Frazzlebrain and the state of irritability, pressure, nervousness, and fatigue that moms can often feel
- Anxiety, anger, and stress and the impact on gut health, hormones, and overall health
- Slowing down to pay complete attention to a single thing, perhaps in nature, to stop the static in your brain

Show Notes: Break Free from Anxiety
Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #111 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
Do you believe work-life balance is simply not possible with the load you carry?
I see you.
You are spending late nights and early mornings just trying to catch up.
Your to-do list feels like it gets longer by the minute.
You have your laptop with you wherever you go.
You constantly feel exhausted and drained even after the occasional good night’s sleep–if you can even squeeze in one.
You feel under pressure every day, even when you “should” be relaxing.
What if I told you there was a better way?
What if I told you that you didn’t have to choose home over work or trade one for the other?
What if there was a completely different way you could look at work-life balance that actually worked?
If you found yourself nodding along, I personally invite you to register for my free workshop where I unlock the secrets to help you achieve real work-life balance even as a crazy busy, seriously ambitious mom.
I can’t wait to show you what it’s like to have more time, less stress, and boundaries you can count on. Head to secretsofsupermom.com/balance for all the details!
