Hi friends 🤍
If you’re new here, I’m Ella—Lori’s/Crazy Busy Mama's daughter. I’ve kind of grown up alongside this community in a lot of ways, and getting to share pieces of my life here has always meant so much to me. I usually like to keep things light, encouraging, and full of hope and, of course, fashion… but today I want to share something a little more real, a little more raw.
Because this is something I’ve been walking through—not something I’ve fully figured out yet.
And maybe that’s exactly why I need to share it.
When Anxiety Isn’t Just “In Your Head”
Over the past year, my anxiety hasn’t just been a feeling… it’s been something I’ve lived in.
Panic attacks that come out of nowhere.
That racing heart.
That feeling like you can’t catch your breath.
Like something is wrong even when everything around you is technically fine.
And there were moments… where it got really scary.
There were a couple of times where my panic attacks got so intense that I ended up in the hospital. Not because something was physically “wrong” in the way you’d expect… but because my body was in full panic mode, and I didn’t know how to stop it.
If you’ve ever experienced that… you know how overwhelming it is.
It’s not just anxiety.
It’s your whole body feeling like it’s shutting down.
And the hardest part?
Trying to explain it to people who don’t understand.
Because from the outside… I look okay.
But inside, it’s been exhausting.
I Tried So Many Things
I am not someone who just sits back and accepts feeling this way.
I’ve tried a lot to help myself.
Lifestyle changes.
Routine shifts.
Supplements.
Talking it through.
Praying through it.
And yes… even medication.
And I want to be really honest about that part too.
For me, medication didn’t go the way I had hoped.
I experienced some pretty intense side effects that honestly made things feel worse, not better.
And that’s not to say it doesn’t help people—because I know it does.
But for me… it just wasn’t the right path.
So I found myself back at square one, asking:
“What is actually going on in my body?”
The Shift to a Holistic Approach
That question changed everything.
Because instead of just trying to manage the symptoms…
I started wanting to understand the root.
What’s happening internally?
What’s off?
What does my body actually need?
That’s when I started leaning more into a holistic approach.
Not a quick fix.
Not a band-aid.
But supporting my body in a way that actually helps it function the way it’s supposed to.
Why I Said Yes to Zinzino
When my mom started talking about Zinzino, I’ll be honest… I didn’t jump in right away.
I’ve seen a lot.
I’ve heard a lot.
And I needed it to feel right.
But the more I learned, the more it made sense.
Zinzino focuses on test-based, personalized nutrition—which means you’re not just guessing what your body needs… you’re actually learning.
And that was the missing piece for me.
Because anxiety isn’t always just emotional.
Sometimes it’s physical.
Sometimes it’s inflammation.
Sometimes it’s imbalances we don’t even realize are there.
And after everything I had experienced… I didn’t want to keep guessing anymore.
I wanted answers.
I wanted understanding.
I wanted to actually support my body instead of constantly feeling like I was fighting against it.
This Isn’t About “Fixing” Myself
I want to be really clear about something.
I’m not stepping into this because I think I’m broken.
I’m stepping into this because I want to take care of myself… in a deeper, more intentional way.
I want to feel steady again.
I want to feel peace in my body, not just in my mind.
I want to wake up and not feel like I’m bracing myself for the day.
And if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety or panic attacks…
you know exactly what I mean.
If You’re In This Too
Maybe your story looks different than mine.
Maybe you’ve tried things that worked.
Maybe you’ve tried things that didn’t.
Maybe you’re just starting to ask questions.
Wherever you are… I just want you to know you’re not alone.
And there are other ways to approach healing.
Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But intentionally.
Walking This Out Together
One of the things I love most about this is that I’m not doing it alone.
I’m walking this out alongside my mom and Kale… but also in my own way.
In my own season.
With my own story.
For my own reasons.
And if anything I shared in this resonates with you—
if you’re someone who’s tired of guessing, tired of just managing symptoms, and ready to understand your body on a deeper level—
I’ve created a space where you can learn more about what I’m doing, why I said yes, and how I’m walking this out.
You’re always welcome here.
I’m still in the middle of my story.
But for the first time in a long time…
I feel like I’m moving forward. 🤍
