In this deeply honest and vulnerable conversation, Tyler sits down with Mickenzie Vought, Senior Director of Community at OnSite, co-host of the Living Centered Podcast, and an advocate for mental and emotional health.

They unpack everything from anxiety and panic attacks to the lasting effects of purity culture and spiritual shame. Mickenzie opens up about her early battles with anxiety, how change was often a form of escape, and how therapy, EMDR, and even medication helped her return to herself. Together, they reflect on how their own healing journeys have reshaped their definitions of success, marriage, parenting, and faith.

Whether you're battling anxiety, unraveling religious baggage, or simply trying to show up better for your family — this episode is for you.
