"My mission is to give voice to anxious women everywhere and to help them acknowledge and ease their anxieties. I provide women a safe place to turn when they’re feeling overwhelmed or afraid and offer them practical ways to face and calm their anxiety. By bringing light to the underserved community of anxious women, I empower as many women as I possibly can to create the calm centered lives they were born to live." - Wendy Leeds
About Wendy's Work
“If women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety, why isn’t there a place specifically for them to address their particular needs?”
“Why isn’t someone sharing the latest research on women’s anxiety?”
“Why isn’t anyone talking about the epidemic of women and anxiety in this country?”
As Wendy began to address her own anxiety she searched for resources for herself and other women to help deal with issues in anxiety that only women face, like PMS, pregnancy, menopause, cultural expectations and economic concerns. When she realized none of those things were available she set out to create them. Through this website, her meditation CD, a supportive online social community, her upcoming book Calm and Sense and the books that follow she is proud to offer places for women to share their fears and hopes without shame or judgement.
A diagnosis became a mission.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Wendy underwent several surgeries and six months of chemotherapy. It was at that low point that she began her life-long journey to create a calm, centered, joyful life, for herself and others. She began reading everything she could get her hands on about anxiety, and later went back to school to earn two graduate degrees in psychology.
Today, as a licensed mental health therapist, she has assembled an amazing collection of tools, tips and techniques for explaining how to cope with anxiety without medication. She uses many of these tools in her own life, and is passionate about sharing them with other women.
