    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back for episode number 4! I really hope you are getting something out of these messages and love them as much as I love creating them for you. Thank you again for joining me, beautiful!<br/><br/>In today&apos;s episode I share some beginning practices for mum&apos;s with anxiety and how they can begin to create some beautiful changes. But before we can begin to create any change, we have to WANT to create change. Often what I see happen is mum&apos;s are struggling with anxiety but they don&apos;t realise that there&apos;s another way of living. They almost become resigned to the fact that this is just their life and they have to live with it. </p><p>But I&apos;m here to tell you that there IS another way of living! A way of living that can feel good as you move through your day, no matter how your anxiety shows up for you. And you certainly don&apos;t have to &quot;put up with it&quot; or &quot;deal with it&quot; either.  </p><p><b>IN THIS EPISODE I COVER:</b></p><p>+ The first thing we must do before we can begin to create any change in our life. <br/>+ 6 practices that I have implemented in my life as I began my healing journey with anxiety, and most of them I still do today.<br/>+ How to begin creating a deep awareness around your anxiety so you know how you can move forward.<br/>+ Some prompts you can ask yourself to get really clear on your triggers so you can put systems in place to support you next time. <br/>+ A key element in your healing journey with anxiety that might not be what you expect</p><p>I would love to know which practices you will try and how they support you.
