Meet Abs and Mags.
Who... you ask?
This is Tessa... and I am so excited to introduce you to these two incredible ladies. Because I know in my core that many of you will benefit greatly from this podcast. We all deal with it. Oftentimes it can get the best of us. It is there under the surface. Lurking. Yet there are ways of controlling it.

About the Anxiety Sisters
Anxiety is so Physical
And it can make you feel so alone













When we met as undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1980s, neither of us thought of ourselves as particularly anxious. Sure we had bad stomachs, but didn’t most students on the Penn meal plan?
We also worried a lot, but we figured we owed that to our Jewish parents. It didn’t occur to us that we were both experiencing the beginnings of a lifelong struggle with anxiety, and we had no idea how important each of us would become in helping the other learn to manage her disorder. More about Abs and Mags in the podcast and here.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing anxiety because we all experience it differently.
However, there are ways to live with your anxiety-without letting it control your life-and even become more hopeful and happy in the process.
We understand and we can help. If you are looking for a safe, supportive space to learn to manage your anxiety (even just to hear that you will get through it), you've found your people. Join our free community.
THE ANXIETY SISTERS’ SURVIVAL GUIDE is a warm and practical guide to coping with anxiety-and finding ways to laugh. We’ve helped thousands of anxiety sufferers, and we can’t wait to help you too!
