Letting Go to Grow: Navigating Life with Panic Disorder and the Journey to Self-Acceptance

Krystal B. Clark Season 3 Episode 25

What happens when a globe-trotting human rights lawyer suddenly finds herself face to face with a panic disorder? Spoiler alert: It doesn’t end in a courtroom—but in courage, clarity, and a surprising business pivot.

In this compelling episode of Moving With Meaning The Podcast, Krystal sits down with Jeanne-Mari Retief—PhD powerhouse, anxiety survivor, and beauty entrepreneur. Jeanne-Mari gets real about the day everything changed, how panic attacks disrupted her high-achieving life, and what it means to grieve the version of yourself that no longer fits the mission.

They talk mental health myths, identity shifts, and why anxiety isn’t the end—it’s an unexpected invitation to a new chapter. Tune in for wisdom, wit, and a few hard truths from a woman who traded control for clarity and found joy in the process.
