In this episode, Silvia Araya shares how anxiety and panic attacks can be signals from your body that something needs attention, not something to fear. She offers practical advice for busy women on managing stress, asking for support, listening to their needs, and creating a healthier balance between work, family, and self-care. 

Silvia Araya is a clinical trauma professional with over 15 years of experience helping people heal from anxiety and panic attacks through holistic, trauma-informed approaches.

In this episode:

  • Silvia shares her personal journey with anxiety and how her own panic attack experiences inspired her to help others heal and feel hopeful again.
  • She explains that a panic attack can feel scary and overwhelming, but it is not dangerous, even when your body feels like something is seriously wrong.
  • She talks about how anxiety often creates a cycle of fear, especially when we mistake an anxiety episode for a medical emergency.
  • Silvia shares that many women experiencing anxiety are also pushing themselves too hard, living in a constant state of stress, pressure, and rushing from one task to the next.
  • She explains that sensitive people can absorb the emotions and energy around them, which can increase feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and even trigger a panic attack.
  • She talks about how women often carry the weight of work, family, home responsibilities, and leadership roles, making anxiety and stress more common than ever.
  • Silvia shares a simple reminder to pause during the day, take a breath, look outside, and check in with yourself before stress turns into an anxiety spiral or panic attack.
  • She explains the importance of asking for help, speaking up about your needs, and having honest conversations before stress reaches the point of burnout, anxiety, or another panic attack.
  • She talks about building a stronger relationship with yourself by regularly asking, “What do I need right now?” She believes this simple question can help reduce anxiety, bring more peace into your life, and prevent a panic attack before it starts.
