If you've been living with anxiety for longer than you'd like to admit — quietly managing, pushing through, and wondering why it keeps coming back — you're in the right place.
I'm Katie McLaughlin, a licensed therapist and the founder of Cedar Rose Counseling & Wellness in West Chester, Ohio. I created this channel to give women real, evidence-based education about anxiety and the nervous system — the kind of understanding that makes relief actually possible.
Here you'll find:
🌿 Education on anxiety, high functioning anxiety, and nervous system regulation
🌿 Practical breathwork tools you can use right away
🌿 Guided meditations rooted in evidence-based strategies
🌿 Honest conversations about what anxiety actually is — and why it isn't your enemy
The content on this channel is educational and is not a substitute for therapy. If you are experiencing mental health symptoms that are affecting your daily life, please reach out to a licensed clinician.
Anxiety Relief with Katie
Hello everyone,
You'll notice a small update to the name of this channel.
Over the past few years, my work has continued to deepen around one core idea: anxiety isn’t just something we “think” our way out of — it’s something we understand, regulate and heal from the inside out.
While the name is evolving, the heart of this space is not changing.
You’ll still find grounded, evidence-based tools for anxiety, stress, and overwhelm — with a growing emphasis on nervous system support and mind-body healing.
I’m grateful you’re here. 🌿

New Video!
If you've ever experienced a racing heart, stomach in knots, or muscles so tense you can't relax—even when there's no obvious danger—this video is for you.
In this video, I break down what's actually happening in your nervous system when you feel anxious, why you can't just "calm down," and what you can do to work with your body instead of fighting against it.
You'll learn:
✔️ How your autonomic nervous system creates physical anxiety symptoms
✔️ Why your body goes into "survival mode" even when you're not in real danger
✔️ The concept of your "window of tolerance" and why it matters
✔️ Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and find real relief
✔️ Why understanding this changes everything about how you approach anxiety

Some exciting updates for this channel 🌿
If you've been here for a while, you might remember when this channel had a mix of anxiety education and guided meditations. Then I shifted to focus mostly on meditations.
While I enjoy creating meditations and calming practices, I have missed teaching.
Starting in January, you'll see a mix of:
✨ Educational videos about anxiety, your nervous system, the mind-body connection, and holistic healing
✨ Guided meditations for regulation, stress relief, and emotional support
Why the shift? Because I realized I was creating from obligation instead of passion. And I know you deserve content that's genuinely valuable—not just content for content's sake.
This channel has always been an extension of my work at Cedar Rose Counseling & Wellness, where I help anxious women heal at the root through holistic therapy. It's time the content here reflects that mission fully.
What to expect:
→ 2-4 new videos per month (educational + meditation)
→ Deep dives into topics you've been asking about
→ Practical tools rooted in science and compassion
Thank you for being here. I'm so glad to be stepping back into this work with clarity and intention.
What topics would you like me to cover? Feel free to drop ideas/questions in the comments👇
With care,
Katie

Hello friends — I hope this beautiful October day is treating you well. 🍂
Since starting Mindful Moments, many of you have reached out asking about therapy or support for anxiety, but have been outside of my state of licensure. Until now, I haven’t had a way to help beyond these free meditations and mindfulness practices — while still staying within the guidelines of my license.
That’s why I’m so excited to share that my new course, Finding Freedom from Anxiety, is now available.
This course isn’t a replacement for therapy, but it does bring together many of the education and skill-based strategies I use in the therapy room every day.
It’s designed to help you:
🌿 Understand why anxiety shows up the way it does
💛 Learn how to calm your body from the inside out
🧠 Shift your relationship with anxious thoughts and emotions
✨ Build a personalized roadmap for lasting calm
This project has been my heart’s work — years in the making — and my hope is that it gives you the clarity, compassion, and tools to finally feel free from anxiety.
✨✨ Learn more here - 9812-katie.systeme.io/anxietycourse
*** It’s currently being offered at a discounted rate through Sunday, October 26th ***
If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or email me directly — I’d love to connect.

Good morning everyone 🙏🏻
I hope all is well with each of you on this beautiful Friday. A little celebration in my world before we get to a small poll today - After 9 long months of multiple wake-ups per night, my daughter is currently still snoozing away at almost 7am. A full night of sleep for this mama plus being able to get some quiet time and work done in the morning! What a day 🙏🏻
Having a little time to reflect about this channel has me curious about how much impact the background of meditation videos have on your experience of the practice.
What is your preference for the background of meditation videos?

Another passion project of mine, outside of this channel, has been creating journals to help you dive deeper to find more freedom in your life. My newest journal is designed to help you break free from perfectionism. This 40 page journal will take you through understanding why you experience perfectionism, where it comes from, how it shows up in your life and of course, how to start working your way towards peace of mind and freedom from perfectionism.

I hope and pray this serves you well 🙏🏻
