You’re not just anxious—you’re exhausted.
Exhausted from trying so hard. From wondering how you’re coming across. From constantly rehearsing what to say and replaying it after.

This episode is for the person who’s tired of their own brain. Who feels like a burden to themselves but doesn’t know how to turn it off. If that’s you—you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

In Part 3 of the Social Anxiety Series, therapist and mindset coach Jessica Davis goes deeper than just coping skills. You’ll explore what happens when anxiety leads to burnout and self-rejection, and learn how to rebuild your relationship with yourself—one small, compassionate step at a time.

This isn’t about being “less awkward.” It’s about being kinder to the person you are.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why anxiety isn’t just nervousness—it’s mental exhaustion
• How to stop overthinking and isolating when you’re drained
• What to do when the voice in your head is constantly critical
• 5 research-backed strategies to rebuild self-compassion
• Why healing starts with showing up for yourself—imperfectly
