Overcoming Anxiety: A Personal Story of Struggle and Hope With Jensen Dover
Episode 2
Friday, 13 December, 2024

In this deeply personal episode, I’m joined by my younger brother, Jensen, who bravely shares his journey with anxiety and panic attacks—a story he’s never told publicly before. From his earliest experiences as a child, through moments when anxiety became unmanageable, to the tools and support systems that helped him heal, Jensen opens up about what it’s like to live with and manage anxiety. We discuss the pivotal role of therapy, the power of fitness in managing mental health, and his strategies for balancing college life with self-care. Jensen’s story is one of resilience, hope, and the importance of seeking help when you need it. We also share valuable resources for anyone who might be struggling, because no matter what you’re facing, you are never alone. Find Jensen on social: https://www.instagram.com/jensen_dover_/
