Curiosity Junkie

Hi I'm Cassie Burton and I haved lived with anxiety my whole life. The slow burn, constant hyper-vigilant kind of anxiety, always on high alert, high energy, moving a hundred miles an hour to stay in front of whatever my mind thought was chasing me. Turns out nothing is chasing me and my anxiety stems from childhood trauma.

Did you know, anxiety, over time, can create some pretty serious health issues?
And that's why I'm on a mission is to explore and share ways to manage, soothe and understand trauma and the anxiety it creates.
