In this thoughtful and honest episode, I explore how anxiety quietly became part of my everyday life — and how I slowly started learning to live with it, instead of fighting it.

From compulsively checking doors to overthinking every “ok” in a text message, this episode dives into what anxiety really feels like when it becomes the background of your day — and how it affects your mind, your body, your relationships.

You’ll hear personal stories, practical tools, and gentle reflections that might help you feel a little less alone — and a little more understood.

Topics covered include:
• What anxiety feels like when it’s always “just there”
• How it shapes thoughts, boundaries, and decisions
• The connection between anxiety and the body
• Tools for calming your mind and grounding yourself
• Navigating anxious thoughts in relationships and texts
• Evening rituals to help with anxious overthinking
• What not to do when anxiety spirals
