Hey Reader,
You know that feeling when your brain decides to run an anxiety marathon at 2 AM? 🚀 The what-ifs start rolling in, your to-do list suddenly feels like an Olympic event, and you're debating if that awkward text you sent in 2017 ruined your life. (Spoiler: It didn’t.)
Well, this week on the podcast, I sat down with Ali, a therapist who actually gets it—why our brains spiral, why we think we’re just overreacting when really our nervous system is waving red flags, and why ignoring it (aka stuffing it down with iced lattes and retail therapy) only makes it worse.
Here’s the thing: Your anxiety isn’t just some annoying glitch—it’s trying to tell you something. It’s like that friend who won’t stop texting you until you acknowledge them. (Annoying? Sure. But also, kinda important?)
We talked about:
✨ Why your body keeps score—even when you’d rather it didn’t
✨ The connection between anxiety, overwhelm, and that constant state of “WTF is happening”
✨ How to stop living in threat mode and actually feel safe in your own life
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought, Why am I like this?! (spoiler: you’re not broken, you just need a little nervous system TLC).
🎧 Listen now:
And if this hit home for you, reply and tell me: What’s one thing your anxiety won’t stop yelling at you about? Let’s talk about it. 🫶

P.S. If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: Ignoring your anxiety doesn’t make it disappear—it just finds sneakier ways to get your attention. 👀
