💜 A Note from Tracy

Please remember: The Anxious Alpha™ is here to give you tools, practices, and encouragement, but it’s not a substitute for professional help. If you ever feel unsafe, hopeless, or unable to cope, please use the numbers above. You are too important to try to carry it all alone.

I want you to know that you are worthy. You are needed. You are loved. You are so important. Even when - ESPECIALLY when - you forget that, come right back here and read these words if you need to. The world needs you.

Please stay. 💜
