I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately… the version of me that existed before anxiety moved in and took up so much room. The girl who could make plans without secretly dreading them. The one who laughed without waiting for something bad to happen. The one who trusted her body and her mind.

In this episode I’m getting honest about the grief that comes with anxiety. The quiet ache of missing your old self. The mom guilt of feeling like you’re only showing up halfway. The way you compare “before” and “after” and wonder if that lighter version of you is gone for good.

This isn’t a sad episode. It’s a real one. One for every anxious mom who’s ever looked at old photos and felt that pang in their chest. You’re not alone in missing who you were. And maybe… she’s not completely gone. Maybe we’re just learning how to make space for her again, even on the heavy days.

If you’ve ever whispered “I miss the old me,” this one is for you.

Important Note: I’m not a doctor or therapist. This is just my real experience shared with love. If your anxiety feels heavy, please reach out to a healthcare professional who can support you.

What happens when anxiety convinces you that every ache, pain, and weird body feeling is something life-threatening?
In this episode, I open up about the raw, exhausting truth of living with health anxiety. The doctor says you're fine — but your brain keeps whispering “what if they missed something?”
If you’ve ever Googled your symptoms, convinced yourself it’s the worst-case scenario, or felt like no one truly gets what you’re going through… this one’s for you.

You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.

Welcome to Spiraling Again… a podcast for overthinkers, anxious minds, overwhelmed moms, panic attack survivors, and people whose brains absolutely refuse to relax.

In this first episode, I’m introducing myself, talking about why I created this podcast, what Anxiety Momster means to me, and honestly just trying not to spiral while recording this.

This isn’t a polished “perfect mental health” podcast.

This is real life.

We’re talking anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, overwhelm, stress, emotional burnout, and all the exhausting things our brains put us through on a daily basis.

If you’ve ever:
• googled symptoms at 2AM
• convinced yourself something was seriously wrong
• felt mentally exhausted from overthinking
• struggled to slow your thoughts down
• felt alone inside your own head

…yeah. You’re probably in the right place.

Trigger Warning:
This podcast may include discussions surrounding anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and mental health struggles.

Thank you for being here already.

Seriously.
