<description>&lt;p&gt;Three weeks ago, I had my first panic attack in over a year. Since then, I’ve had another—and a full body shutdown that left me speechless, paralyzed, and scared for my life. In this raw and vulnerable episode, I open up about the silent shame that followed, the disconnect in my relationships, and how I’ve been fighting to feel whole again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn’t just about mental health—it’s about survival.

If you’ve ever dealt with panic attacks, or if you love someone who has, this conversation is for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referenced Episode:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Season 3, Episode 3 — “Breaking the Silence: Navigating Depression and Healing”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This episode contains a short excerpt from “I’m Here” (performed by Fantasia, from The Color Purple).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I do not own the rights to this music.
