Anxiety was supposed to have our backs—helping us stay alert, prepared, and safe. So how did it become the emotion we dread the most?

In this episode, as a therapist, I’ve not only navigated anxiety personally but also helped others do the same, so this is advice straight from the therapy room. I’m getting real about my own relationship with anxiety: the moments it’s completely derailed me, the tools that have actually helped, and the surprising ways I’ve learned to work with it instead of against it.We’re covering everything from grounding techniques (yes, including breathing, but in a way that actually helps) to shifting the way we interpret anxiety in the first place.

If you’re someone who constantly feels on edge, overwhelmed by the what ifs, or just exhausted from fighting your own brain, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to stop letting anxiety run the show—without trying to silence it completely.
