Workplace Anxiety: The Career Cost You Can't Ignore

CLICK HERE and join the 30-Day Anti-Anxiety Reset. Starts October 27, 2025.

I'll never forget sitting at my desk, crying for 30 straight minutes. My position at Amazon had just been eliminated. I was the sole breadwinner. And I was completely paralyzed by anxiety.

That breakdown changed everything. Not because things got easier, but because I finally learned how anxiety was actually costing me—promotions, sleep, relationships, and my sanity.

Here's what most people don't understand: anxiety isn't just uncomfortable, it's expensive. When you're too anxious to speak up in meetings, apply for stretch roles, or negotiate your worth, you're leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table every year.

· The real cost of workplace anxiety (it's more than you think)

· How anxiety keeps you stuck in toxic work environments

· Why "just managing stress better" doesn't actually work

· The 4-week framework that stops anxiety spirals and gets you unstuck

· Real stories of professionals who broke free from career paralysis

Here's the truth:

You can watch all the YouTube videos and read all the books. But knowing what to do isn't your problem—you're not taking action because anxiety has you frozen.

I've seen dozens of clients transform their careers in weeks (not years) once they learned to manage their anxiety. One landed a job with a $10k raise before severance ran out. Another escaped a toxic boss and found work they actually enjoy. Another stopped working nights and weekends without changing jobs.

The difference? They did the work.

If you're tired of anxiety controlling your career decisions, I'm hosting a 30-Day Anti-Anxiety Reset Challenge starting October 27th. Learn the exact tools I used to go from crying at my desk to confidently leading my career.
