Why Am I So Anxious....Now? (Part 1)

from Boobalicious: Breast Cancer and Beyond · host Jennifer Rai & Christine Kushner

In this episode, Chris and Jenni get real about anxiety—how it shows up, why midlife can feel like a rollercoaster, and how a history of breast cancer adds another layer to all of it. Jenni shares her long-standing experience with anxiety, from her early twenties to what feels like a whole new wave during perimenopause. Chris, who’s always been the calm, laid-back one, opens up about experiencing anxiety for the first time after a cancer diagnosis—and how unsettling that shift can be. They talk through the different ways anxiety can look (it’s not always what you expect), the hormonal chaos of perimenopause, and why some of the typical “solutions” aren’t so simple—or even safe—for breast cancer survivors. There’s also an honest conversation about things they’ve tried (including what didn’t work). This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation—so if this hits home, stay tuned for next week.
