High-functioning anxiety looks like you're killing it.

You’re answering the texts, running the meetings, managing all the moving pieces, smiling and saying “I’m good”...

...all the while your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.

It doesn’t “look” like anxiety. But it might feel like:

• Overthinking every decision
• Trouble sleeping, even when you’re dead tired
• Always rushing, never resting
• Tight jaw, tense shoulders, shallow breath

Here’s what no one tells you 👇

The very habits that helped you survive are now the ones keeping you stuck.

• Stuck in performance.
• Stuck in perfectionism.
• Stuck in people-pleasing.
• Stuck in your head—disconnected from your body.

But you can rewire this.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down 3 common mistakes that make high-functioning anxiety worse—and how to shift out of survival mode and into true peace.

We’re diving into:

• ✔️ Why stillness feels so hard (and how to make it safer for your nervous system)
• ✔️ The difference between empathy and emotional enmeshment (and how to stop absorbing everyone else’s energy)
• ✔️ Why always being “the strong one” is costing you more than you think

If you’re done pretending you're fine and ready to actually feel better in your body, this one’s for you.
