I was just fortunate enough to have a wonderful conversation with Meagan Barnes, Mrs. District of Columbia, who just recently ran for Miss America this past August. She was someone who, at one time, struggled with debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, but now as a result of reading my book and working with my program, she is panic free and living life fully. In fact, she has founded an organization called Women Conquering Anxiety, and she is an Ambassador for Mental Health America. Way to go Meagan, we will continue to follow your success.
