info_outlineHey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today we’re diving into an essential topic that affects everyone—managing anxiety and emotions. We’re joined by the inspiring Natty Lewis, who shares her journey of overcoming anxiety and finding emotional resilience. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety or struggled with balancing emotions, Natty’s insights and techniques are about to change the game.
Natty opens up about her early experience as an athlete, where she didn’t understand anxiety and viewed it as something people needed to “toughen up” against or chill out. But everything changed when she entered a new phase of life, becoming a mom and navigating a career. The transition brought unexpected challenges, leading her to study the roots of anxiety and how the mind and body work together to process it. Now, she helps others understand that anxiety is a natural response that can be managed with the right tools.
In this episode, Natty introduces her concept of getting a "master’s degree in recognition" as the first step to managing anxiety. By understanding the physical sensations that come with stress—whether it’s a racing heart, sweaty palms, or tightness in the chest—listeners can begin to recognize anxiety without fear. Natty walks us through powerful exercises to release pent-up energy, including a guided body-tensing technique that helps reset the nervous system in moments of high stress. We can’t wait to use this in our own life, and even teach our 4-year-old!
Chelsey and Stephen also dive into the importance of showing versus shunning emotion, especially in business and family life. Natty explains the difference between productive emotional release and reactions driven by frustration or panic, sharing her own stories of navigating intense environments from business meetings and even places like NFL boardrooms. She offers practical advice for busy moms and entrepreneurs on finding one core identity, which can reduce the “switching costs” of wearing multiple hats.
So, take a deep breath and join us for an episode packed with actionable tools to conquer anxiety and embrace emotional freedom. You’re not alone, and these tips are here to support you every step of the way!
