Ep 19: Anxiety and Resent: When You’re Tired of Holding It In


Listen Later

This episode dives deep into the emotional complexity of living with anxiety and resentment, two internal forces that often go hand-in-hand but rarely get unpacked together. Through a raw and personal story, the episode explores how suppressed resentment can grow silently under the mask of people-pleasing, and how anxiety can shape our thoughts, choices, and self-worth. The story follows a narrator's emotional journey from constant inner turmoil and external validation-seeking, to learning how to set boundaries, feel emotions without guilt, and reframe anxiety as a messenger rather than a flaw. Listeners are taken through the slow unraveling of a life built around suppression and the powerful, messy, but freeing process of healing. From family expectations and friendship fractures to therapy revelations and hard-won personal growth, this episode speaks to anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, invisible, or angry without knowing why. In the final part, we reflect on how healing doesn’t erase anxiety or resentment but transforms how we relate to them. We learn to stay, listen, and show up for ourselves without shame. And by the end, listeners are left with a sense of grounded hope that peace and self-trust are not only possible, they’re already on the way.
