Penny doesn’t stand out and she likes it that way, but when she has a panic attack in English class, suddenly, she’s very much in the eye of her classmates. To make matters worse, a classmate recorded it on Snapchat, which went viral around the school with “#PennyPanic.”
As the nickname is chanted at her in the halls, she clings to her friends but they all have their own struggles too. She feels alone and fears no one will understand her pain. She has Ms. Piece, a school counselor and a hippie Grandma, Betty, who guides her along the way to help normalize her anxieties. Penny begins to learn anxiety shows up differently for everyone; sometimes it's obvious and other times it's not.
When the worst thing imaginable happens to one of her friends, will she be able to rise above and reclaim her confidence or will the anxiety win?"
A Young Girl's Journey with Anxiety
Penny Panic
When I was a young girl, I was shy, anxious, and afraid. Of everything. Then, at age 17, I suddenly found my life changed when I was given the opportunity to travel to Europe. The exhilarating experience of traveling solo opened my eyes to a new vibrant way of being, and I returned home happier, more confident, and eager to let my voice be heard. I promised myself that I would return to Europe the next year to continue my spiritual journey. But unfortunately, life had other plans. A traumatic family event shook me to my core, and soon anxiety and fear crept back into my life. It took all my strength to overcome this tragedy and step out of the darkness again. I embarked on an incredible spiritual journey, spanning over 10 years and 14 different countries, taking home a different, life-enriching lesson from each special place I visited. Life as a spiritual nomad taught me to embrace my anxiety and love myself again, to accept the journey of life – the good, the bad, and the ugly –to become an all-round stronger person. This is my story.
