You’re Not Behind, You’re Becoming: Healing Anxiety, Shame & Self-Doubt with Susy Schieffelin

What if you aren’t behind? What if you’re becoming exactly who you’re meant to be? In this episode of Normalize the Conversation, Francesca Reicherter and Susy Markoe Schieffelin explore the realities of healing, anxiety, recovery, and self-worth. Together, they discuss why growth isn’t linear, how shame keeps us stuck, and what it means to support your nervous system instead of fighting it. Susy shares her journey from rock bottom to recovery, the practices that helped her heal, and why choosing hope is often a series of small decisions—not one life-changing moment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, feeling stuck, or simply need a reminder to be kinder to yourself, this conversation offers hope, practical wisdom, and the reassurance that healing is possible. Because maybe you’re not behind. You’re becoming.
