Finding Control in Chaos: A Skincare Founder's Journey Through Panic Disorder | Jeanne founder of Figgi Skincare
Manage episode 477012005 series 3550581
When Jeanne - Human Design 1/3 emotional projector - first reached out about being featured on the podcast, I was skeptical—what does skincare have to do with wellness? Then we spoke, and I discovered something remarkable: the powerful, rarely-discussed connection between anxiety disorders and skin conditions.
Jeanne shares her raw journey from panic disorder diagnosis to founding Figgy Beauty, a skincare line specifically formulated for sensitive skin using South African rooibos. She clarifies the critical difference between everyday stress and clinical anxiety: "Stress is something that happens to you because of a certain situation, and when that situation is cleared up, the stress goes away. With anxiety, you never come down from that." This persistent state of fight-or-flight sends continuous signals to your nerve endings, many of which lie just beneath the first layer of skin—creating burning, itching, and inflammation.
What makes Jeanne's approach unique is her dual focus on both internal management and external symptoms. Figgi Soul, her educational platform, teaches others how to navigate their anxiety journey, while Figgi Beauty addresses the sensitive skin that often accompanies anxiety disorders. As she beautifully puts it, "I can't cure you. I don't have the golden ticket. But I have learned how to read my manual well, and I can teach you how to read yours."
Ready to explore both the science of anxiety and the soothing power of rooibos skincare? Listen now, and discover how understanding your unique wiring might be the first step toward both inner peace and healthier skin.
