In this episode of Us Anxious Folk, I chat with Anneka from the UK about her powerful journey through agoraphobia, panic disorder, and the healing journey.

From a life-altering panic attack on the motorway to navigating enclosed spaces and hospital visits, Anneka shares the raw reality of living with anxiety—and the steps she's taken toward healing. We touch on everything from therapy and medication to small wins, self-compassion, and the community she’s built to support others. It’s an honest, hopeful conversation about facing fear and finding your way back to yourself.

Anneka is an absolute ray of sunshine and I know you guys will enjoy this chat as much as I did!
