## Resource

SHOW NOTES So many people walk around feeling ashamed of their anxiety. Like it means they're weak, or broken, or not faithful enough, or not strong enough to handle life. In today's episode, Celeste reframes anxiety completely — not as a personal failure but as a biological response that was designed to protect you. Understanding what anxiety actually is changes everything about how you relate to it. If you've been judging yourself for being anxious, this one will change how you see yourself. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram
