Trapped at Target

Bipolar She

Today I sit down with Tracy to learn about her struggle with anxiety and how it seemed to crop up at milestone birthdays. A self-described nervous child and lifelong "nervous wreck," Tracy didn't know what anxiety was until she turned thirty--a birthday that forced her to take a look at where her life was headed.
Tracy made it through until age forty when her anxiety intensified. She could barely drive without having a panic attack and learned she hand agoraphobia.
In this episode, Tracy shares this secret life that became a literal and figurative roadblock. With candor and vulnerability, we learn her harrowing story and how she made it through her darkest of days.
