In this powerful and deeply personal talk from the Revive and Thrive 2025 Empowerment Summit, certified trauma care practitioner and mindset coach Stacey Uhrig takes us on a journey from her very first anxiety attack at age 12 to the transformative moment she stopped fighting her anxiety and started listening to it.

In PART ONE in this two-part episode, Stacey shares how anxiety became a constant companion through every stage of her life—shaping her behaviors, fueling her drive, and eventually pushing her to a breaking point. But it was in a quiet, surrendered moment that everything changed. Instead of asking, “How do I get rid of this?” she began asking, “What is this trying to tell me?” That single shift unlocked a new relationship with herself, one built on compassion rather than control

Drawing from her personal experience and professional expertise, Stacey introduces her “HEAL” framework, a simple yet profound tool for acknowledging, engaging with, and ultimately transforming anxiety into a source of insight and empowerment. She reminds us that anxiety is not a flaw to fix—it’s a part of us that wants to be seen, heard, and understood.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety or longed for a new way to navigate it, this episode will offer you both hope and practical wisdom to change your relationship with fear.
