85. 10 Things I Learned After Years of Chronic Anxiety and Worry

Anxiety isn’t a flaw. It isn’t weakness. And it isn’t something you’re destined to live with forever. In this episode, I share 10 of the most important things I learned after living for years with chronic anxiety and worry, in my body, in my mind, and in my daily life. We talk about: Why anxiety is a messenger, not the enemy How worry becomes a false form of control The real reason your nervous system craves certainty Why safety doesn’t happen in your thoughts, it happens in your body How leadership, not avoidance, changes anxiety What happens when you stop abandoning yourself Why identity work was the deepest healing layer for me And how presence and slowness calm what urgency fuels This episode is not just about “getting rid” of anxiety. It’s about understanding it, leading it, and creating safety from the inside out. So when it does pop up you have the tools to "get rid of it" If anxiety has been running your life, this conversation will help you understand it differently, and show you what’s actually possible.
