You worked hard. You earned the promotion. You got the recognition.

So why does it feel like something is about to go wrong?

In this Early Access episode of Unwind, we explore a rarely discussed experience: the anxiety of success. The pressure that follows achievement. The fear of being exposed. The quiet thought that whispers, “What if I can’t keep this up?”

You’ll learn: • Why success can trigger imposter syndrome • How achievement increases perceived risk • The psychology behind “waiting for the other shoe to drop” • Practical tools to stabilize your nervous system during career growth • How to redefine success in a sustainable way

Success isn’t just about getting more. It’s about learning how to hold more — without burning out.

Take a breath. You’re allowed to grow without fear.

Need a quick reset during a stressful workday? This 5-minute bonus episode guides you through simple micro-practices — calming breathwork, a shoulder release, and a brief reflection — to help you reduce anxiety and return to a grounded state. No equipment needed. Just press play and unwind

In the final episode of Unwind, Liz explores what to do when self-help isn’t enough. Learn how to recognize the signs that professional support — like therapy or medication — may be the right next step.

This episode breaks down common types of therapy (CBT, ACT, EMDR), how to find the right therapist, when medication may help, and how to build a support system that supports your mental health at work.

Whether you’re ready to take action or just exploring your options, this episode offers compassionate guidance rooted in research from the National Institute of Mental Health and trusted clinical practices.

You don’t have to go through anxiety alone. Help exists — and healing is possible.

Why do certain moments at work make your heart race — while others leave you drained or overwhelmed? In Episode 4 of Unwind, Liz explores the concept of anxiety triggers in the workplace: the subtle signals, patterns, and situations that activate your stress response.

Learn how to identify your personal triggers — from unread emails to team dynamics, performance pressure, and even physical environments — and how to work with them, not against them.

This episode shares science-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping you create emotional distance, reframe your response, and build resilience over time.

Understanding your workplace triggers is the first step toward lasting anxiety reduction — because when you can name it, you can change it.

Is mindfulness just a buzzword — or a real tool to reduce anxiety at work? In Episode 3 of Unwind, Liz breaks down what mindfulness actually means, how it works in the brain, and how to apply it practically during your workday — no incense or yoga mats required.

Learn how to use 1- to 3-minute techniques like the “3-Minute Breathing Space,” micro-transitions, and grounding exercises to calm your nervous system, refocus your mind, and reduce overwhelm at work.

Backed by neuroscience and clinical research from Harvard, UCLA, and MBCT programs, this episode gives you the knowledge and tools to make mindfulness your secret weapon against work-related anxiety — without adding more to your to-do list.

Whether you're feeling stressed, distracted, or on edge, mindfulness offers a way to pause, reset, and re-engage with clarity. No mysticism. Just science, practice, and awareness — in 15 minutes or less.

In Episode 2 of Unwind, Liz introduces you to science-backed tools for managing daily work anxiety. From evidence-based breathing exercises to powerful CBT reframing techniques, you'll discover practical ways to interrupt anxious thoughts and calm your body—even during a busy workday.

Drawing from the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, and global mental health resources like the UK’s NHS, this episode offers you a toolkit of proven techniques you can start using today—no therapy sessions required.

What exactly is work anxiety? In this episode of Unwind, host Liz breaks down the biology and psychology behind stress and anxiety in professional environments. You'll learn how your brain and body respond to pressure, why modern workplaces can amplify anxiety, and how to identify the early signs of burnout.

Based on research from the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), this episode gives you a foundational understanding of what you’re feeling and why it matters.

Whether you’re new to these concepts or already exploring mental health strategies, this 15-minute lesson will help you become more aware, more compassionate with yourself, and better equipped to manage anxiety at work.

Unwind is not medical advice, but it’s grounded in science and empathy.
