The GlamourLESS Side of Entrepreneurship Featured Author: Bridget DiRico

Bridget DiRico, better known as Anxiety Gal is a thirty-something woman who is happily married with two children.  Growing up, she was a high-achiever – a high-anxiety, intense high achiever but soon realized that her anxiety was getting the best of her, wasting her energy, sacrificing her happiness and slowly sucking the life out of her.  After an unsatisfying career and the harsh, cold reality of becoming a Mother, Anxiety Gal decided to figure what was making her tired, stressed and unhappy with herself.

She started writing a book about her anxiety and while writing, discovered that the root of the anxiety was from insecurity and the fear of failing. Anxiety Gal put it all out there and in the process discovered the events in her life that triggered the insecurity. Then, Anxiety Gal put together her own self-led behavioral therapy for managing her anxiety (it’s been tested by Anxiety Gal herself!).
