In this episode of Salt & Sovereignty, Ashley shares her real-time experience navigating panic and fear when a wildfire threatened her childhood home and her best friend’s home.

As anxiety and helplessness rise, she reflects on what it means to face something you cannot control, and how returning to spiritual practice can shift you from panic into grounded response.

In this episode:

• Anxiety and panic during an emergency situation
• Feeling out of control and overwhelmed
• The nervous system response to fear and uncertainty
• Turning to spiritual practice and Hekate for grounding
• Creating a protection working as a response, not control

This is not about stopping what’s happening, but about how you choose to stand in the middle of it.
