Simone backtracks right quick to share a Hot Box unheard by most listeners. Initially intended for private viewing on Patreon, see the original caption below: This week was tough. I had a super hard time recording due to a prolonged anxiety attack. I felt like I owed it to myself and you guys to try and push through. This episode is me, having an anxiety attack, actively using my tools to push through and answer viewer questions. It's funny because you would think the fact I regularly share and speak openly on the podcast that I wouldn't be super nervous and uncomfortable posting this, yet here I am, scared shitless. I often have anxiety attacks that last for days at a time, and I have learned to be high functioning within them because, in my life, the show must go on. To be honest, though, I don't usually let anyone outside of my tight inner circle know that I am actively experiencing an anxiety attack that I'm trying to manage to stop from becoming a full-fledged panic attack. I try my best to carry on unnoticed as I always have with all my mental health issues. If anyone notices, I say I'm tired or have a headache. I still struggle often with not wanting to be perceived as weak, but I have to remember there is strength in venerability. So me posting this is me pushing through that fear. Enjoy.

In this episode, I discuss: Why I choose gratitude and how it's my primary defense against anxiety. If you could go back in the past and change one thing, what would it be? Why I don't believe in regrets. @livefromthebackseat @gina_baby__
