  • 9 Self-Sabotaging Habits That Keep You Stuck in Anxiety Mode (You’re Probably Doing Half of Them) [Ep 32]
    Dec 11 2025

    This episode dives into nine habits that quietly fuel anxiety, habits that often seem normal but can leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed. We explore how things like people-pleasing, ignoring our body's signals, and overthinking can create a cycle of stress that feels inescapable. The key takeaway is that these habits were once survival strategies, but they may no longer serve us and can even contribute to feelings of anxiety. We offer practical, straightforward shifts to help you recognise and address these patterns with kindness and compassion. By naming these habits and understanding their impact, we can begin to rewire our nervous systems to feel safer and more at ease in our daily lives.

    So, let’s get into it and start this journey towards a calmer, more confident self!

    Nov 25 2025

    Today, we’re diving into the transformative power of pausing before we react, a game-changer for anyone dealing with high-function anxiety. I’m sharing a straightforward practice that can help interrupt that instinctive, anxious response we often have when faced with stressors, whether it’s a text or a sudden change of plans.

So, if you’re ready to take a breather and regain control, let’s get into it!
