In this episode of Friction to Freedom, I’m inviting you to take a closer look at what anxiety really is—beyond the label, beyond the shame, and beyond the idea that something is “wrong” with you.

Together, we’ll explore how your nervous system works, why you might feel stuck in fear or overwhelm, and how this ancient system is still trying to protect you—even when you’re safe.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding what’s happening underneath the tension so you can begin responding with compassion instead of criticism.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of:

  • Why your body reacts the way it does

  • The difference between real and perceived threats

  • What your nervous system is actually trying to do for you

And you’ll be better equipped to notice what’s happening in your system with gentleness—and start shifting it from the inside out.

✨ Take what supports you. Leave the rest. You are your own highest authority.
