Over the summer, we’re bringing back some of your favorite episodes! These are the top downloaded episodes you couldn’t get enough of.
Today’s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 185 helping you identify 3 reasons why you might have high-functioning anxiety.
The thing with high-functioning anxiety is that it’s not always easy to detect. We seem to be functioning well in our day-to-day lives, but under the surface we feel edgy, stressed, and overwhelmed.
It’s that sense that there’s not enough time and we’re running behind. We feel tired, but wired. Our body is telling us to slow down, but our brain is convincing us we can push harder. I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it is to live with anxiety.
In today’s episode, we explore 3 of the most common roots of high-functioning anxiety, and I coach you through ways you can start the healing process and help your body move out of an anxious state and return to regulation.

Burnout doesn't just make you tired; it wreaks havoc on your entire nervous system.
