In this deeply personal episode, Courtney shares her lived experience with anxiety for the very first time—without an outline, without teaching, and straight from the heart. From realizing that not everyone feels constant internal tension, to navigating postpartum anxiety, people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and the pressure of a fast-paced world, this episode offers an honest look at what anxiety has felt like throughout her life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, overwhelmed by the future, or disconnected from your body, this episode will help you feel less alone and remind you that healing doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What anxiety has felt like throughout Courtney’s life
• Realizing that constant anxiety isn’t “normal” for everyone
• How anxiety shows up physically (tightness, heaviness, racing thoughts)
• The role of people-pleasing, boundaries, and fear of others’ opinions
• Postpartum anxiety after both pregnancies
• The power of getting out of your head and back into your body
• Why anxiety often means we’re living in the future instead of the present

Part 2 of this series will focus on how Courtney manages anxiety through food, nervous system regulation, and simple daily practices you can realistically incorporate into your life.
