Breaking the Cycle of Anxiety: Real Strategies That Work
April 30, 2025 · 38 min

Eeeeek! Things can feel pretty out of control these days, ey? I don’t know about you, but I can feel like I’m walking around 24/7 in a constant state of anxiety: tight chest, shallow breathing, tense jaw, etc. It’s not pretty and, even worse, it makes perimenopause or menopause symptoms worse! 

Oh my! 

Which is why I’m so excited to bring you this episode of The Love Your Life Show. Join me as I sit down with anxiety and attachment style expert Tami Kiekhaefer, LCSW.

We dive into: - Real world strategies to stop anxiety from controlling your life - How your attachment style impacts your relationships and how anxious you feel - Why you may be feeling anxious with your partner or kids if you’ve had past childhood trauma or relationships with narcissists - How knowing which of the 5 family roles you were can help you feel better today - Why confidence and self doubt matter

And much more. I can’t wait for you to listen and to start using some of what you learn to feel better and more in control of your day. Extra bonus - these things also help you if you’re a parent of a teen, preteen, or empty nester.

Thanks for listening. Your mental health and how you feel in your day matters to me. 

This conversation with Tami was packed with practical tools for anyone struggling with anxiety, past childhood trauma, low confidence, family relationship struggles, and codependent behaviors. I hope that listening to this conversation with two anxiety experts can help you feel more calm and in control of your current situation. We work on these things every day in the Love Your Life School and in my one-on-one sessions. If you don’t have a coach yet, I’d love to be yours.
