Laura Living Kinda Dangerously

Hi! I’m Laura, and I am a teacher and mom in Charleston, South Carolina. If you know me well, you are aware that I am profoundly anxious, which, unfortunately, has been to the detriment of my parenting and relationships. I am the girl who when asked “What’s the worst that could happen?” I have a well-thought-out list of possible catastrophic scenarios.

I have reached the point in my life where I can no longer let anxiety run the Laura show, so thus begins a year- long experiment. I have made a list of the things—most that I have never actually done before—that I know scare me, and my plan is to do them, document the experience, and analyze my level of anxiety in the hopes of overcoming it. This blog and its readers will hold me accountable so that I can prove to my daughter and to myself that I can do hard things and start living. What’s the worst that could happen?

Follow along, folks! I will need the encouragement.
