In this jam-packed episode, we dive into the truth about anxiety—the kind that helps, the kind that hurts, and how to tell the difference. Spoiler alert: feeling anxious doesn't mean you're broken, dramatic, or weak. It means you're human. We'll unpack: * Why anxiety is a biological feature, not a personal failure * How to recognize unhealthy anxiety before it takes over * When to seek help (and how to know it's not "too small" to matter) * How to embrace healthy anxiety as a tool, not a threat * Real-world coping strategies that don't involve running away to Bali (unless that's in your budget, in which case, please take me)
