Why Panic Attacks Might Be the Best Thing That’s Happened to You [Part 3]

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get radically honest about panic attacks, reframing them from something to fear into a powerful tool for release and healing. Through personal stories—including Nicole’s experience supporting her mom post-stroke and her own panic attack—they break down how panic and anxiety can be the body’s way of letting go of trapped energy, emotions, and old beliefs. The duo shares why embracing these moments (instead of medicating or resisting) can lead to profound growth, and how breathwork, vulnerability, and shifting your perception can turn a “panic attack” into an opportunity for transformation.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Panic attacks aren’t mistakes—they’re your body’s way of releasing stuck energy, emotions, and old programs. When you lean in (not medicate or resist), you open the door to healing.
2. Your breath is the bridge between mind and body. Breathwork can mimic the physiological release of a panic attack, helping you let go—if you’re willing to be vulnerable and actually feel it.
3. Shifting your perception changes everything. What you label as “panic” might actually be your body’s wisdom, guiding you to let go and realign with joy, gratitude, and your higher self.

 

 Quotes: 

• “It’s about shifting your perception of a panic attack. My body is doing exactly what it needs to do, and this is actually helping me to release something that no longer serves me.”

• “Your body is never making mistakes, man. Whether we call it a disease, a panic attack, or a seizure, your body is always doing its best to maintain balance.”
