In this episode, Alison and Taylor dive deep into the texting anxiety spiral — you know the one: you hit “send” and suddenly your nervous system is convinced you’ve ruined everything. Whether you're anxiously refreshing your screen or avoiding replies altogether, this one’s for every anxious texter out there.

They break down:

📱 Send the text, then walk away.

After hitting send, set a timer for 5 minutes and physically put your phone down. Give your brain a chance to breathe. Do something grounding — make lemonade, go for a walk, write a note to yourself, anything but stare at the typing bubble.

Can you go 5 minutes without checking your phone after sending a text? Tell us how it goes!
