08 | Hi, I'm Anxiety! Where Can I Put My Stuff??

Hello, friends of the show! Today we are talking about one of Gloria's favorite subjects: AnXiEtY!!! Even that formatting makes us feel uncomfortable. In this episode Jr Top Knot makes a special guest appearance to talk about his own experience with anxiety and how it shows up in his body to let him know it doesn't like things like roller coasters. In fact, he helps us transition into our topic brilliantly because that is what anxiety is, at it's core: a big alarm system run amok. If you've seen Inside Out: 2, you know what we're talking about here! And if you haven't, go watch it immediately (right after listening to our podcast of course).
