Send us Fan MailIn this episode of FVCK Anxiety, Sari is joined by mindfulness and manifestation coach Nikki Dean for a conversation about anxiety, overthinking, and what it really means to trust yourself again.They break down how anxiety often builds when you’re living from pressure, comparison, or expectation — instead of listening to what actually feels true for you. Over time, this creates a constant sense of stress, overthinking, and feeling out of alignment.Sari and Nikki explore how many women have been taught to ignore their intuition, second-guess themselves, and look outside for answers — which only makes anxiety louder.This episode introduces a different way of relating to anxiety. Not just managing it, but beginning to see it as a signal — something guiding you back to yourself, your truth, and a deeper sense of trust.They also share how small shifts, like curiosity and awareness, can begin to reconnect you with your intuition — even if it feels unfamiliar or hard to access right now.If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you don’t trust yourself anymore, this conversation will help you understand why — and where to start.What You’ll LearnIn this episode, you’ll learn: Why anxiety often increases when you’re not being true to yourself  How overthinking and self-doubt disconnect you from your intuition  Why comparison makes anxiety worse and keeps you stuck  The difference between “I am anxious” vs. “I’m feeling anxious”  How anxiety can be a signal pointing you back to yourself  Why curiosity is the first step to rebuilding self-trust  How to create small moments of relief instead of forcing change ReflectionWhere in your life are you ignoring what feels true for you — and how might that be contributing to your anxiety?Free Nervous System ResetIf anxiety feels constant or overwhelming, Sari created a free 5-minute Nervous System Reset to help you calm your body and interrupt the anxiety loop in real time.Work With SariIf you’re ready to stop living in anxiety and want support in actually changing it, you can book a free discovery call with Sari.This is a space to talk about what’s been coming up for you and explore what real support could look like.Connect with Nikki Dean5 minute nervous system reset ad for midroll
