Episode Synopsis

🎙 Fearless and Forty – Episode 24: Say Yes… But Bring a Xanax
This week, we’re getting real about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: panic attacks in midlife. We’ve both felt them, we’ve both wondered why now?, and we’ve learned that sometimes they’re not about one specific cause at all — they’re the side effect of stress, exhaustion, and trying to do it all.
Sometimes your body just says: nope.
In this episode, we open up about personal experiences with panic attacks, what the symptoms can look and feel like, and the little red flags to pay attention to. We also talk about how much easier it is to face the hard stuff when you’ve got friends who will stand by you in those “panic” times.
It’s a heavy topic, but we’re approaching it the only way we know how: honestly, openly, and with a little humor along the way. Because saying yes to life — even if it means bringing a Xanax — is something we’re learning to navigate together.
