What if the anxiety you’ve been fighting… is actually the doorway you’ve been avoiding?
In this powerful conversation, Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Sari Cowsert for a raw and revealing journey through chronic anxiety, panic attacks, identity shifts, and the uncomfortable truth of what happens when your entire sense of self begins to unravel.
Sari shares the reality of living in a constant survival state—waiting for the next panic wave, searching for validation, and trying to build an identity around other people’s perceptions. What unfolds is a story of vulnerability, self-love, and remembering who you were before fear took over.
Together, Rachel and Sari explore:
- How anxiety shapes your identity (and how to take it back)
- The power of vulnerability as a healing tool
- What really happens when your nervous system has been in survival mode for years
- Why validation becomes addictive—and how to break the cycle
- Meditation and the spiritual practices that helped quiet the internal chaos
- Rebuilding trust in humanity when life has shaken your faith
- The beauty of tearing down the old self to meet the real you
