Dr. Lisa is the best! This podcast has been a lifesaver. I was at my lowest point when I found this podcast and I truly feel like I would’ve still been stuck in the closing in loop of anxiety that I was in if not for Dr. Lisa. If you suffer from anxiety please listen to this podcast.

BreeD44 · Sep 2026

Most helpful pod for anxiety. Helped me at equally as much as therapy. Dr Lisa has actionable ideas for combatting anxiety and they work.

Gone2SeeRiverMan · Jun 2026

I’m so thankful I found this podcast. It has truly been one of the most helpful tools in managing my anxiety. The way you explain anxiety symptoms, calm fearful thoughts, and speak with both compassion and understanding has helped me feel less alone and less afraid. There have been so many moments where listening to an episode has pulled me out of spiraling thoughts and reminded me that anxiety can be incredibly convincing, even when we are okay. Your podcast brings so much peace, reassurance, and practical encouragement. Thank you for the time, care, and heart you put into each episode. It’s making a real difference for people like me navigating anxiety every day.

CourtS1992 · May 2026
