How Lwando took back control in less than 3 weeks

Hello everyone! Every week, I share a success story from one of our members, and today we’re taking a look at how @Lwando Sifumba went from being stuck in anxiety for years, to enjoying life again and even applying for jobs on the other side of the world!

When Lwando joined the VIP Community, he had already been on anxiety medication for 9 years, but never got the results he was hoping for. He shared with us that his life felt like just surviving instead of living...

Lwando was struggling with GAD, health anxiety, and panic disorder. He really wanted to change, but he had already tried so many things. Some helped a little, but he was still battling anxiety symptoms every single day. The heart tension and chest pain often triggered a lot of worry and even panic attacks.

So it’s not strange that Lwando had some doubts when he joined the Community, but they didn’t stop him from starting the program. He showed up every group coaching session and was motivated to try the tools I recommended. 💪🏻

One big challenge we had to overcome was his anxiety around his own bed. The worst panic attack he ever had, happened while lying in bed, so this became something he avoided. He slept on the floor next to his bed, just to be sure he wouldn’t get another attack. 🛏️

But instead of letting this hold him back, Lwando used it as even more motivation to heal. He printed out the workbooks, watched the course modules, and took small steps every day. There were definitely times when doubts came back, or he felt a bit overwhelmed, but with the support of the community he kept going.

Here's how we helped Lwando:

📚 Step 1: Learn

We started by teaching him how anxiety works. There's nothing more stressful for your brain than not knowing what's happening to you, so this alone made him feel less overwhelmed.

🛠️ Step 2: Tool-Stacking

Next, we created a personal toolbox with strategies for regulating his nervous system, balancing cortisol levels, building stress resilience, and calming himself down.

And it worked. Less than 3 weeks after joining, Lwando sent me a message saying he finally felt calm and relaxed again after a very long time. He was slowly starting to take back control over his anxiety.

Step 3: Re-wiring his brain🧠

Now that he already felt so much better, we began working on exposure therapy to rewire his brain. Not only did this help him sleep in his bed again, but he even started thinking about bigger goals in his life!

In just 6 weeks, he was already seeing some huge changes:

• He started going to the gym again. 

• He reconnected with his friends. 

• His sleep improved massively.

• He enjoys the small things in life again. 

• He overcame his cardiophobia. 

• He doesn’t get triggered by symptoms anymore. 

• He knows how to handle anxious moments. 

• He feels excited about life again. 

But that’s not all! Lwando is feeling so much better that he’s even started focusing on bigger dreams again, like living in Amsterdam, literally on the other side of the world! 🌍

He’s currently in the process of applying for jobs there, and in two weeks he can pick up his passport to start traveling.✈️

So in less than 7 weeks, he went from someone who had been struggling with anxiety for 9 years, literally sleeping on the floor, to building his dream life and being back in control.
