Affirmations That Don’t Suck Ass Balls: Anxiety EditionThis episode gives you two things:The science of anxiety — how your amygdala (Amy) hijacks your nervous system, kicks your prefrontal cortex (Carl) offline, and drags you into past regrets or future catastrophes. I break down why your brain time-travels, why it feels so physical, and how your vagus nerve (Vega) is the key to getting calm again.Actual affirmations that don’t suck ass balls — no sugar-coated “I am enough” garbage. These are funny, grounding one-liners you can actually use in the middle of a spiral. They’re designed to snap you out of anxiety’s bullshit and anchor you back into the present moment.By the end, you’ll walk away with a set of science-backed affirmations you can repeat, write on a Post-it, or scream into your steering wheel the next time your brain tries to time-travel you into chaos.
