Anxiety is something we all have to deal with as human beings, even if we don’t have a clinical diagnosis. And if we do struggle with clinical anxiety, let’s try to take away the stigma surrounding mental illness, so YES we are all in for a DMC about anxiety. Especially one designed for frum women who are already dealing with so many additional demands due to the frum lifestyle. Our guest is Mrs. Ilana Cowland who has just come out with a book that sold us with its title, The Moderately Anxious Everybody. As Ilana writes, “the great social like we all tell to cover up the truth we all know – everybody’s anxious.”  Ilana is a UK born educator, coach and relationship expert. She and her husband Jamie have been inspiring international audiences for over 25 years. In her debut book, she provides a deeper understanding of why our society is so anxious and what you can do, today, to deal with the anxiety in your life. In this DMC, we discuss: Why Ilana decided to write a book about anxiety Anxiety and women, particularly frum women What anxiety looks and sounds like Techniques to reduce anxiety Tips to bring calm and serenity into our daily lives We’d love to hear from you.
