Living With HOPE Guest: Hadley Gustin

Hadley is a holistic anxiety coach/motivational speaker/self-help author for college girls struggling with anxiety.  

Having silently suffered from a severe and chronic anxiety disorder for over a decade, I experienced countless panic attacks and symptoms such as uncontrollable neck/hand shaking, spontaneous sweats, full-body tension, shivering, stomach queasiness, etc…  In fact, over the course of my teen years, my disorder became so out of control that it finally consumed every minute of every day; it was literally non-stop.  

Finally, at age 19 while living away at college, I hit a proverbial wall and realized 2 key facts: I could no longer stand living each day with my numerous symptoms, and I did in fact have an anxiety disorder.  Immediately feeling empowered to seek help for my newly recognized ailment, I embraced the Western medicine approach, finding a good psychiatrist and opting to start on anti-anxiety medication.  

Miraculously, it was in this darkest hour of vulnerability and need that I stumbled upon a way to truly heal myself, holistic living.
