Actress, singer, and producer Corinne Foxx (NAMI Ambassador) is a triple threat, and she also lives with an anxiety disorder that she was diagnosed with at age 14. To alleviate her anxieties, Corinne continues to go to therapy, does regular exercise, meditates, goes on walks, socializes with friends, and makes sure to get eight hours of sleep per night. In 2017, Corinne partnered with NAMI to share her journey with anxiety and the tools she's developed over her life to manage her disorder. The response to her story was overwhelming and encouraged Foxx to continue partnering with NAMI to shift the narrative around mental health. "Once that happened, I was like, 'Oh, people are craving this conversation,'" she said. Today, Corinne says her teenage sisters inspire her to see the future in a positive light.
