352: Anxious All the Time? Your Nervous System Is Trying to Tell You Something
Is your chest tight? Mind racing? Feel like you’re spiraling or snapping for no reason? In this deeply soothing episode, I’m guiding you through powerful, science-backed rituals to calm anxiety at the root—not just mask the symptoms.
As someone who’s been through it (hello burnout, new motherhood, and all the pressure to keep it together), I’ll walk you through what’s really going on in your nervous system when you feel anxious, agitated, or numb—and how to reclaim your sense of peace, power, and presence in just minutes a day.
If you’ve ever felt like “just calm down” doesn’t work... this one’s for you.
What you'll get out of this episode…
