In this episode, I’m breaking down what anxiety really is, why it shows up, and how it’s different from fear or a full-on anxiety disorder.

You’ll hear about the classic anxiety cycle, why our brains love to sound false alarms, and how to stop overreacting to burnt toast moments. I’m also sharing one of my favourite tools from the Anxiety Busting Toolkit: the “Real Fire or Burnt Toast” check. It’s simple, effective, and something you can start using straight away.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in anxious thoughts or wanted to feel more in control, this episode is a must-listen.
