In today's episode I chat it up with my newfound friend, Alyssa Buoncristiano. You can find Alyssa on Instagram @alyssabuon - go follow her! Alyssa is all about inspiring woman to lean into self love by owning who they are. On her social media platforms, she hopes to connect with individuals and teach them how to look, feel and live GOOD. In my convo with Alyssa we talk all about anxiety, mental health, self acceptance and authenticity. We start off with talking all about Alyssa's journey with anxiety and what makes her the anxiety warrior that she is today. This includes when she first noticed signs of anxiety in her life, and also explaining what anxiety physically feels like to her and how it manifests in her body. I ask Alyssa if there was ever a time in her own life where she felt like trying to please other people and live up to other people's expectations of her was a source of her own anxiety - and she gets down to the nitty gritty with that. We talk about the top three tools in her tool box that she uses to cope with, or better manage her anxiety, in her day to day life. We dive into Alyssa's thoughts about taking medication and/or supplements for anxiety or for one's mental health. And lastly - we end with what the phrases "self acceptance" and "say yes to you" mean to Alyssa. Don't forget to screenshot and share on your IG story and tag me @justangmarie and Alyssa @alyssabuon! We would LOVE to hear from you!!!
