Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m just not good enough”?
In this episode, we’re diving into how anxiety actually works, why it tries to “protect” us by overthinking everything, and how those anxious thoughts can quietly shape the way we see ourselves.
Using the movie Inside Out 2 as a visual example, I share what happens when anxiety takes over and starts rewriting our core beliefs.
We’ll talk about how that happens, what it means for your sense of self, and how to gently take back control by befriending your emotions instead of fighting them.
If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, overthinking, or feeling like you’re losing touch with who you really are, this episode will help you see anxiety in a new light - not as the enemy, but as a part of you that just needs a little understanding.
Resources Mentioned:
• Inside Out 2 - the movie
• *Unwinding Anxiety (amzn.to/3WC7LyM) by Dr. Judd Brewer
