You Are Not Your Anxiety: How to Stop Letting It Define You
Manage episode 507605696 series 3554104
If you’ve ever felt trapped inside your own head—overthinking every conversation, replaying mistakes, snapping at people you love, and then drowning in guilt—you’re not alone. Anxiety isn’t always panic attacks or a racing heart. Sometimes it’s the endless loops of thoughts, the irritability you can’t explain, or the constant pressure to control everything.
In this episode, Sari shares raw stories from her own life—the shame, the reactivity, and the turning point that changed everything. You’ll learn how anxiety shows up in different disguises, why it’s not a personal flaw, and the first steps to separate yourself from the chaos in your mind. This is your reminder: you are not your anxiety, and you’re not powerless against it.
