I've often heard people say that "work-life balance" is a myth, or that balance in general is a myth. To this, I wholeheartedly disagree. Not only do I believe that balance is NOT a myth, but I believe that balance is essential. I just believe that there is more nuance within balance than those who think it's not possible recognize. So let's talk all about that today in part 3 of the calm & ambitious series: how to create balance as a high-achiever.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why it might be more difficult for high-achievers to create balance
• The difference between nourishing and depleting activities, and how they can help you create balance
• The simple 3 step process to improved balance in your life

When I used to work at a community mental health agency with children and adolescents, I often taught them about the importance of having a "toolbox" of coping skills when it comes to managing anxiety and depression. This is also true for high-functioning anxiety, and is so important because in moments of increased stress and anxiety (or decreased mood) is when it's often the most difficult to access the tools that will help you feel better. And when you have a toolbox of techniques and tools at the ready, you don't even have to think about it. You will know what to do to feel better and manage the moments of overwhelm, anxiety, and stress that come up. In this episode I will share 7 techniques to feel calm and grounded that you can add to your self-care toolbox.

In this episode you will learn:

• 7 simple techniques to feel calm & grounded when you struggle with high-functioning anxiety
• Why these techniques help you feel calm and grounded and when to use them
• How to customize these techniques to your personal needs

By far, the #1 struggle I hear from people struggling with high-functioning anxiety is overthinking. That's because the background chatter of thoughts and over-analysis of situations, future and past, can be uncomfortable and make it difficult to feel calm and slow down. That's when it's important to take a step back and declutter your mind from all the thoughts, worries, fears, and difficult emotions that are taking up space from within, and preventing you from being present in your life and feeling calm. Check out this episode to learn how to declutter your mind and stop overthinking when you struggle with high-functioning anxiety. This is the Calm & Ambitious series: Part 1.

In this episode you will learn:

• The benefits of decluttering your mind
• 5 clear steps to declutter your mind and stop overthinking
• How to notice patterns and emotions in the negative thoughts that weigh you down so you can feel calmer and lighter

"People with "high-functioning anxiety" are described as productive, perfectionistic overachievers who suffer from fear and extreme self-criticism below the surface (Morgan, 2017)."

When you struggle with high-functioning anxiety, this disparity between what you present to others on the outside, and what you struggle with on the inside can be challenging- and you might not even realize that anything is wrong because you are continuing to push through these symptoms that you might see as just part of who you are. High-functioning anxiety can manifest in many different ways, and in this episode I'm going to share 7 surprising signs of high-functioning anxiety that I've personally experienced and witnessed in my clients and students that YOU might be struggling with yourself and might not even have known were signs of HFA.

In this episode you will learn:

• The day-to-day habits you engage in that can be a sign of high-functioning anxiety
• This ONE sign of perfectionism that you probably struggle with when making decisions
• Actionable tips to reflect upon these signs and how they are personally affecting you
