Whether it’s 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it’s running your life. That’s why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again.
I’m answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I’ll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn’t make you broken.
This isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.
🎧What You’ll Learn:
The truth about 3AM anxiety and how to prevent middle-of-the-night spirals
Why “just do exposure therapy” might be doing more harm than good
How to support someone with anxiety without losing yourself in the process
The real reason you might feel stuck in therapy—and how to get unstuck
OCD, panic, phobias & overthinking: practical tools I use (and avoid) daily
Why hunting for triggers can backfire—and what to focus on instead
Anxiety and self-blame: how to soften your inner voice
