About this listen

Take Back Control from Anxiety Without “Fixing” Yourself or Living Small
Anxiety doesn’t usually crash into your life all at once. It creeps in quietly. At first, it’s just overthinking. Then it’s avoiding certain places. Certain conversations. Certain feelings. Eventually, your world shrinks not because you’re weak, but because you’ve been trying to stay safe in a system that keeps moving the goalposts.

You tell yourself to calm down. To think positively. To stop overreacting. When that fails, you assume you’re the problem. You’re not. Anxiety is relentless and exhausting, but it’s also predictable and manageable once you stop fighting it the wrong way.

Anxiety Is a Bastard gives you 17 clear, practical steps to understand exactly how anxiety operates and how to dismantle its control without turning your life into a safety project.

If you’ve tried breathing exercises, reassurance, distraction, or forcing yourself to “be brave” and nothing stuck, this audiobook explains why. Anxiety doesn’t disappear through control or perfection. It loosens its grip when you understand its mechanics and respond differently, step by step.

Stop letting anxiety dictate your choices, your boundaries, and your confidence. Start living boldly again.
