Podcast appearances and mentions of maggie sarachek

Imagine sharing everything with your best friend, and then discovering that the two of you had another common bond, something that appeared to set you apart from your peers - an anxiety disorder. Counselors, mental health advocates, authors and podcasters, Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek met in college and soon discovered that they were both long-time anxiety sufferers. But what would you do if you'd figured out that the combination of good information and community could equal relief? Would you think, “a sisterhood might be nice, but it sounds like too much work?” Or would you launch an online community that shows over 200,000 members how to live happily with anxiety?

Anxiety, anyone? Yep, we thought so. That's why we invited The Anxiety Sisters (Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek) to come on Sisters Cracking Up and teach us a thing or two about living with and managing anxiety. Their book, The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide: How You Can Become More Hopeful, Connected, and Happy, is a veritable handbook to better understanding and managing panic, worry, grief, stress, or phobias. Or, if you just want to pause the endless spin cycle in your head, you'll find real-world, research-based techniques, exercises, and insights—without the clinical, confusing, one-size-fits-all approach that isn't so helpful when your mind is racing and your triggers are in overdrive. We can't say enough about the value of their book and of THEM (they're amazing!) in the all-too-common struggle so many of us have with anxiety. This is life-changing, Sisters. If you struggle with any of these issues -- or you care about someone who does -- don't miss this episode. Abby and Julie also discuss their own struggles with anxiety. As sisters do.      

Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek have been friends since college. Throughout this time, they shared many things, even anxiety. For years they supported each other, through phobias, panic attacks and catastrophizing mindsets. As time went on, it became clear that they weren't alone. In fact, they found that many women wanted to talk about anxiety, its perils, nuances, and the many ways to cope. So they decided to start a sisterhood, an anxiety sisterhood.  In 2017 they launched their online community which now includes more than 200,000 people worldwide. Together, Abbe and Maggie (or Abs and Mags) host a monthly podcast (The Spin Cycle) facilitate workshops and retreats and give talks about everything related to anxiety. Their blog is award winning and they recently they published The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide. The book is filled with helpful information, we highly recommend it. We loved this conversation with Abs and Mags. Somehow, they make anxiety fun, while also taking it very seriously. They speak about complex scientific findings using language that is accessible, not triggering or pathologizing. They even offer some helpful tips and advice for all. Let's face it, anxiety is a plot twist all its own. It takes a sisterhood to get us through. Join us.   Check out anxietysisters.com Join the Anxiety Sisters on Facebook

Do you know what anxiety really feels like? I'm not talking about the emotions of fear or stress, but what it feels like in your body. So many of us live with anxiety and don't even know it because it's SO physical. It's even easy to mistake it for physical disease, like heart issues or digestive issues. That was the case for Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek, two soul sisters who are both mental health professionals and the founders of Anxiety Sisters, a supportive community for those living with anxiety. Though they can now see how their anxiety began showing up in early childhood, for years, they bounced from doctor to doctor and even spent time in the hospital before realizing the root cause of their suffering was anxiety. This began their passion to help raise awareness around anxiety and help anxiety sufferers learn how to live full, happy lives – anxiety and all. We had an incredible conversation about all things anxiety and how to heal it, and I resonated with so many parts of their story…these ladies are the real deal! Listen to discover: Our stories of recognizing and healing anxiety How anxiety manifests as physical symptoms The power of acceptance in managing anxiety Why connection is key to healing anxiety How to pack a "spin kit" so you'll be prepared when anxiety strikes The difference between anxiety and a panic attack How to overcome phobias and agoraphobia I know I have a lot of favorite topics, but anxiety is one I really feel we can't talk about enough. Too many people in the world are suffering from anxiety without even knowing it, and we have so many tools – from our support system to our sensory system – to help us find peace and balance in life. It's not about never feeling anxious again, but learning how to find your own brand of happiness and how to take charge so anxiety no longer runs the show. "I still didn't have the vocabulary or the words to make these connections of what I was feeling and how that was connected to anxiety."  - Maggie Sarachek   "Anxiety becomes really debilitating when it's in the driver's seat." - Abbe Greenberg   "I think there is this process of accepting anxiety." - Maggie Sarachek   "Acceptance doesn't mean anything other than, 'This is where I am.'" - Michelle Chalfant   "Our brand of happy is anxious happy." - Abbe Greenberg   "Anxiety can no longer sneak up on you. And when it can't sneak up on you, it takes away two thirds of its power." - Abbe Greenberg   "No two people have the same exact anxiety and panic." - Michelle Chalfant   LINKS & RESOURCES Anxiety Sisters Website https://anxietysisters.com/   Anxiety Sisters Facebook https://www.facebook.com/anxietysisters *Home of a Tuesday night book club + supportive community   The Spin Cycle (Anxiety Sisters Podcast) https://anxietysisters.com/podcasts/   "The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide" (Anxiety Sisters Book) https://anxietysisters.com/anxiety-sisters-survival-guide/    The Adult Chair® Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/     MORE ADULT CHAIR The Adult Chair® Website https://theadultchair.com    The Adult Chair® Membership https://theadultchair.com/membership/   The Adult Chair® Events https://theadultchair.com/events/   The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification https://theadultchair.com/certification   STAY CONNECTED Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant/   The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

What makes it something that needs to be paid attention to is when the anxiety starts to make the decision for you, starts to shrink your world.” ~ Abbe Greenberg   “When we talk and share stories with each other, we could be each other's touchstone. One of the most hopeful and healing things is to know that we're not alone and that someone gets us.” ~ Maggie Sarachek   Guest Bio:   Abbe Greenberg, MCIS, and Maggie Sarachek, MSW are trained counselors, mental health advocates, researchers, educators, writers, and long-time anxiety sufferers.

Maggie Sarachek and Abbe Greenfield are besties and have been for decades. They met as undergraduates at U Penn in the 1980s. Neither thought of themselves as particularly anxious. Sure they had bad stomachs, but didn't most students on the Penn meal plan? They also worried a lot, but we figure they owed that to our Jewish parents. What they didn't know then was that they were both experiencing the beginnings of a lifelong struggle with anxiety, and they did not know how important they would become in helping the other learn to manage her disorder. As the Anxiety Sisters, Mags and Abbs, as they call themselves, provide a safe space for people with anxiety disorders, diagnosed or otherwise. People have said their lives were changed for the better because of their 200,000 people strong community and the support they provide. We talked about the importance of a proper diagnosis and being your own advocate when it comes to treatment. They are big proponents of standing up for yourself with your practitioners to ensure you get the meds and or support that frees you from your symptoms. We have a list of questions that you need to ask your prescribers so that you are informed about what you're putting in your body, what you can expect, et cetera." Getting the right dose of medication — if you need that — is as much art as it is science. They shared their ways of dealing with anxiety that creeps up on a person and suggested a "spin kit." "Why we call it spin. We have renamed panic and severe anxiety, to spinning, which we think is a really apt metaphor because if you've ever had an anxiety attack, it does feel like you have been in your washing machine for the spin cycle. A spin kit will have different things for everyone. It's like a first aid kit, something to pull out when that feeling arises. It could be a fidgeter, knitting or crochet, pictures, music. In short, something to ground you and occupy your mind until the anxiety lets go. Their podcast is aptly called https://anxietysisters.com/podcasts/ (The Spin Cycle.) https://anxietysisters.com/anxiety-sisters-survival-guide/ (Their book, The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide) is a rich resource for women suffering symptoms of anxiety both moderate and severe. We also talked about the importance — scientifically proven — of connection with people we get, get us, we feel safe with. Other things that contribute to anxiety like nutrition, hormones, trauma. You may never know what caused you to become anxious or experience OCD, agoraphobia, or panic attacks, but you can get relief from symptoms and keep them from smallen-ing (yes I invented a word) your world. I loved this convo with Mags and Abbs, they are absolutely authentic, generous with their stories and the support they provide so many people.

Anxiety can happen to anyone, regardless of age. However, it can show up in different ways, in different intensities, at different times, among different genders. The conversation around anxiety has also become much more open in newer generations than in the past. Still, anxiety isn't discussed often enough – particularly in senior circles. That's why Senior Living Expert Lori Williams invites ‘The Anxiety Sisters' Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek to share their experiences. Authors of The Anxiety Sisters Survival Guide, they're trained counselors, mental health advocates and anxiety sufferers themselves, with an online community of more than 220,000 in 200+ countries. Together they discuss: · Their journey with anxiety and how they became ‘The Anxiety Sisters' · The anxiety spectrum and different ways it manifests · Causes of anxiety · Anxiety management techniques And more. Topics discussed: - Anxiety / Generalized Anxiety Disorder - Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - Medication and SSRIs - Panic attack tips - Hoarding - Anxiety causes - Anxiety and aging Takeaways from this episode: - The stress ‘fight, flight, or freeze' response is the biological cause of anxiety. Hormones, medications, dementia, isolation and genetics can also impact anxiety levels. - Though women are supposedly 2x as likely to suffer from anxiety, men may not report (or understand) their anxiety, or they redirect their anxiety as anger / rage since it's more socially accepted. - Instead of trying to avoid anxiety altogether, it's helpful to prepare for it. Carry a bag with different items inside to calm your senses, like lavender fabric, photos, or medication. That way you're ready if a panic attack strikes. - Be aware of how antidepressants or SSRIs can interact with any drugs you're taking, and discuss health concerns and effects with your doctor.

Midlife anxiety is a real thing. During the pandemic, it's more likely that more of us have experienced it. Whether for you midlife anxiety is new, it's something you've always dealt with or it's not you but someone you love, this episode has something for you. We've all been through the pandemic, essentially, together apart. So we share some common denominators that could have triggered anxiety at the onset of the pandemic, at the point where we're re-entering the world, and numerous opportunities between. This interview episode is being released as we near the two-year anniversary of the lockdowns and quarantines.  We did so with purpose and hope it serves you in some way. It is time to normalize mental health issues and talk openly about them. Did you know? Protein .. Flipping50 protein powder supports anxiety. My Guest:  Abbe Greenberg, MCIS, and Maggie Sarachek, MSW are trained counselors, mental health advocates, researchers, educators, writers, and long-time anxiety sufferers. In 2017, they launched their online community which now includes more than 200,000 people in 200+ countries and territories. Together the Anxiety Sisters write an award-winning blog and host a monthly podcast (The Spin Cycle). Having learned to live happily with anxiety, they spend their time coaching anxiety sufferers and conducting workshops and retreats all over the U.S. Their new book, The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide, was published by Penguin Random House in September 2021. Questions we answer in this interview: How did you become known as the Anxiety Sisters?  What is a Spin Kit? What was your personal anxiety journey?  What is Shrinking World Syndrome (SWS)?   How does Social connection and its effect relate to your mental health?  How has the pandemic specifically had an impact on anxiety, and of course the social connections we have? What are the recent studies since 2020 showing? Is there a demographic most impacted? For our listeners how can we relate that to them?   Connect with Anxietysisters:  Website Social media: Facebook Instagram Other Episodes You May Like:  Importance of Strength Training for the Midlife Woman | #516 5 Benefits of Strength Training After 50   Additional Resources:  STRONGER Tone & Define                 

Do you know what anxiety really feels like? I'm not talking about the emotions of fear or stress, but what it feels like in your body.   So many of us live with anxiety and don't even know it because it's SO physical. It's even easy to mistake it for physical disease, like heart issues or digestive issues.   That was the case for Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek, two soul sisters who are both mental health professionals and the founders of Anxiety Sisters, a supportive community for those living with anxiety. Though they can now see how their anxiety began showing up in early childhood, for years, they bounced from doctor to doctor and even spent time in the hospital before realizing the root cause of their suffering was anxiety.   This began their passion to help raise awareness around anxiety and help anxiety sufferers learn how to live full, happy lives – anxiety and all. We had an incredible conversation about all things anxiety and how to heal it, and I resonated with so many parts of their story…these ladies are the real deal!   Listen to discover: Our stories of recognizing and healing anxiety How anxiety manifests as physical symptoms The power of acceptance in managing anxiety Why connection is key to healing anxiety How to pack a "spin kit" so you'll be prepared when anxiety strikes The difference between anxiety and a panic attack How to overcome phobias and agoraphobia I know I have a lot of favorite topics, but anxiety is one I really feel we can't talk about enough. Too many people in the world are suffering from anxiety without even knowing it, and we have so many tools – from our support system to our sensory system – to help us find peace and balance in life. It's not about never feeling anxious again but learning how to find your own brand of happiness and how to take charge so anxiety no longer runs the show. "I still didn't have the vocabulary or the words to make these connections of what I was feeling and how that was connected to anxiety."  - Maggie Sarachek   "Anxiety becomes really debilitating when it's in the driver's seat." - Abbe Greenberg   "I think there is this process of accepting anxiety." - Maggie Sarachek   "Acceptance doesn't mean anything other than, 'This is where I am.'" - Michelle Chalfant   "Our brand of happy is anxious happy." - Abbe Greenberg   "Anxiety can no longer sneak up on you. And when it can't sneak up on you, it takes away two thirds of its power." - Abbe Greenberg   "No two people have the same exact anxiety and panic." - Michelle Chalfant   LINKS & RESOURCES Anxiety Sisters Website https://anxietysisters.com/   Anxiety Sisters Facebook https://www.facebook.com/anxietysisters *Home of a Tuesday night book club + supportive community   The Spin Cycle (Anxiety Sisters Podcast) https://anxietysisters.com/podcasts/   "The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide" (Anxiety Sisters Book) https://anxietysisters.com/anxiety-sisters-survival-guide/     Adult Chair® Coaches https://theadultchair.com/coaches/   The Adult Chair® Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/   MORE ADULT CHAIR The Adult Chair® Website https://theadultchair.com    The Adult Chair® Membership https://theadultchair.com/membership/   The Adult Chair® Workshop https://theadultchair.com/events/   The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification https://theadultchair.com/certification   STAY CONNECTED Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelle.chalfant   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfantCo/   The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Imagine sharing everything with your best friend, and then discovering that the two of you had another common bond, something that appeared to set you apart from your peers - an anxiety disorder. Counselors, mental health advocates, authors and podcasters, Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek met in college and soon discovered that they were both long-time anxiety sufferers. But what would you do if you'd figured out that the combination of good information and community could equal relief? Would you think, “a sisterhood, might be nice, but it sounds like too much work?” Or would you launch an online community that shows over 200,000 members how to live happily with anxiety?
