Anxiety Has a Nose for Change

Send us Fan MailAnxiety doesn’t just show up when things are wrong.It often shows up when things are changing.Even good change.Holidays, healing, growth, new routines, new seasons of life... all of these can trigger anxiety, not because you’re failing, but because your nervous system prefers what’s familiar.In this conversation, we explore why anxiety spikes during transitions and why “I should be fine by now” is one of the most unhelpful stories we tell ourselves.We discuss:Why the nervous system reads change as threatHow anxiety responds to unfamiliarity, not logicWhy good change can still feel unsafe in the bodyThe anxiety that lives in the in-between phases of lifeWhy wanting change doesn’t mean your nervous system is readyHow to move through transitions without forcing or spirallingThis episode is a gentle reminder that anxiety isn’t blocking your growth — it’s checking it.If anxiety has been louder lately, this might help you understand why.🎧 Listen now and learn how to walk your nervous system through change instead of pushing it.Support the show👉 Grab your free Anxiety Compass download here 👉 Grab a copy of Sammy's Book, Anxiety, The Best Teacher You Never Asked For here Follow us @theanxietycompassConnect with Sammy @nutritionwithsammy or websiteConnect with Natalie @nataliemarieinbalance or book discovery call here
