From Anxiety to Self-Trust

About This Episode

Discover the mental health tools that helped me go from emotionally overwhelmed to grounded and steady within. In this episode, I share my personal story of transformation and introduce you to the foundations that changed everything for me.

My Journey: From Overwhelm to Steady

Welcome to the very first episode of the Steady Within Podcast! I'm Ashley Jangro, and I'm so excited to share this journey with you. Today, I'm opening up about my personal transformation from living in constant anxiety and emotional overwhelm to finding true steadiness within myself.

For years, I found myself caught in cycles of emotional reactivity, using various forms of numbing to cope with the intensity of life. Whether it was scrolling social media, binge-watching shows, or simply staying constantly busy to avoid feeling, I was living in a state of disconnection from my true self.

The Turning Point

The shift began when I realized that all my coping mechanisms were keeping me from the very thing I was seeking - a sense of inner calm and self-trust. I knew I needed tools that would work WITH my emotional system, not against it.

This led me to develop what I now call the AERO Framework - a simple yet powerful 4-step process that has transformed not only my own life but the lives of countless clients I work with as a therapist.

Introducing the AERO Framework

A
Awareness: Notice what you feel without judgment
E
Emotional Regulation: Ride the wave without getting pulled under
R
Reframing: Shift the story that's fueling the feeling
O
Ownership: Choose what to do from a grounded place

In this episode, I share how each step of the AERO Framework played a crucial role in my transformation, and I give you practical ways to start implementing these tools in your own life.
