Anxiety, Motherhood and My Role as a Wife with Kat Gulisane
In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean interviews Kat Gulisane about her journey with anxiety and her transformative experience using the Mind Change method. Kat reveals how her anxiety became overwhelming, particularly after the birth of her first child, making daily activities challenging. Inspired by Heather's own story of healing, Kat sought various healing methods but found lasting change through Mind Change sessions.
Kat describes how her anxiety intensified during pregnancy, highlighting a significant struggle with feeling inadequate and needing others to feel safe. This feeling of smallness and the inability to be the strong, grounded mother she aspired to be, exacerbated her anxiety.
She also discusses the impact her anxiety had on her family. Initially, her husband and family tried to support her, but as time went on and her condition didn't improve, it became increasingly difficult for them to cope. This added stress further strained her relationships, making her healing journey even more critical.
Understanding and addressing the root causes of her anxiety allowed Kat to reclaim her power. She highlights three main transformations from her Mind Change sessions: regaining her sense of power, learning to understand and interpret her own emotional and physical signals, and realizing the ability to shape her own reality.
Through Mind Change, Kat learned how to manage anxiety more effectively and shift her perspective. This newfound empowerment enabled her to navigate motherhood with greater strength and confidence, especially during her second pregnancy.
Dive in! Discover the value of self-healing and how to live a life not dominated by anxiety but shaped by your personal strength and resilience.
