"8 months or so ago I was struggling so bad with crippling high functioning anxiety...

Most people couldn't see it and only super close people knew about it.

I've always struggled with abandonment issues and worry way more than I should about EVERYTHING! One night I was on TikTok and this amazing woman was posting about her job and what she does. I followed her without friending her for a few weeks. I did some research and found her Facebook and Instagram, where I watched her and learned so much for a few more weeks. She opened a class up and I was like, "This is the perfect time, Jessica!" I wouldn't commit though. all the things started running through my head.

- How would I pay for this?

- What if I fail?

- What if it doesn't help and I'm too far gone?

You know, all the stupid fears I have been letting steal my joy for so long.

Then I talked with my husband, and we both decided that it couldn't hurt and hoped it would help! I got resourceful...I found a way to work to pay for the class, even when I thought I couldn't afford it. I signed up, even though I was as nervous as I could be.

The first night, I tried to not show up because I was too anxious. Thankfully, my husband reassured me and reminded me that I could do this. I went to class that night, and I'm so thankful I did. Erin told us it was going to be ok and that everyone's nervous when they first start something.

The first lesson was connecting to your "WHY". I needed that! I needed to see my "why" on paper, and I needed to read my "why" over and over!

We wrote a letter to our future self, and I'm here to tell you that a lot of the things in that letter have come true in real life!

I started out:

- not liking to leave my house

- hating driving (still a work in progress...I like people to be with me more than driving alone)

- worrying what people thought of me way too much

My biggest fear was losing people. My motto WAS people always leave. I have lost so many people in my life. So much trauma has happened that most people don't even know. Now, my story is helping so many, and I'm proud of myself!

Healing has been very-good for me.

I love talking to people now because I don't feel so anxious anymore (small talk isn't my favorite, but I can talk the deepest conversation with ya).

I learned to forgive others instead of holding onto that anger, hurt, and resentment.

I've learn to communicate my needs. Now, I know that my needs are just as important as everyone else's needs.

I have become a better version of myself, and I am finally knowing my worth.

All this to say I'm SO thankful that Erin's program came up on my phone! She has helped me so much over the last several months.

I'm thankful that every time I wanted to run and hide, she would message and be like:

"Come back. We're here for you."

OR

"It's ok. This is a safe space."

I'm not one to show my emotions. I have flipped that camera away many times when I would get emotional. Now, I know it's okay to feel my feelings, and my feelings matter.

Every time I was overthinking, Erin would help me realize it and reminded me what to do instead.

I'm thankful for her advice on so many things. Erin has helped me take on new things that I would normally not do.

I'm thankful she showed me that people don't always leave.

She's taught me that I'm a strong woman.

A lot of people tell me that.

I just never believed it before now.

I'm thankful for the lesson on forgiveness more than anything.

I needed that more than I can explain.

Erin has taught me how to and for create awareness with my anxious thoughts and how to do away with limiting beliefs!

I could go on for months about how much gratitude and thankfulness I have for her, but I'll end this with the following:

If you're ever struggling, reach out to Erin!

If you're interested in the class or knowing more, message her.

She's as kind and welcoming as she seems in her videos.

Reaching out to her for help won't feel as scary as you've made it up to be in your head.

I'm very grateful to be where I am.

I've learned that healing isn't linear. It will always be a process of learning and dealing and healing, but I'm built for that now!!!

I got a lot more to work on and I'm not perfect, but I am perfectly imperfect!!!

I'm proud of myself for standing up for myself.

I won't give up on myself ever again.

I have to take care of me first to take care of everyone else!

I love myself unconditionally, which has always been hard for me.

This journey with Erin took me to places I NEVER thought I would go, but I wouldn't change a second of it.

It was everything I needed and more to heal my anxiety at the root.

Thank you, Erin!"
