Speaking Up About Anxiety & Vulnerability

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Rea, Executive Operations Administrator at LifeStance Health, to discuss her personal journey with anxiety. Sarah reflects on how her anxiety intensified after becoming a mother, and the unique challenges it presents in her work life. She talks candidly about her perfectionistic tendencies, the high expectations she sets for herself, and the strategies she uses to navigate anxiety day to day.

She also offers thoughtful advice for others facing similar struggles, highlighting the importance of speaking up, finding support, and reframing anxiety as a sign of deep care rather than weakness.
