In this episode of FVCK Anxiety, Sari is joined by mindfulness and manifestation coach Nikki Dean for a conversation about anxiety, overthinking, and what it really means to trust yourself again.

They break down how anxiety often builds when you’re living from pressure, comparison, or expectation — instead of listening to what actually feels true for you. Over time, this creates a constant sense of stress, overthinking, and feeling out of alignment.

Sari and Nikki explore how many women have been taught to ignore their intuition, second-guess themselves, and look outside for answers — which only makes anxiety louder.

This episode introduces a different way of relating to anxiety. Not just managing it, but beginning to see it as a signal — something guiding you back to yourself, your truth, and a deeper sense of trust.

They also share how small shifts, like curiosity and awareness, can begin to reconnect you with your intuition — even if it feels unfamiliar or hard to access right now.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you don’t trust yourself anymore, this conversation will help you understand why — and where to start.

What You’ll Learn

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why anxiety often increases when you’re not being true to yourself
• How overthinking and self-doubt disconnect you from your intuition
• Why comparison makes anxiety worse and keeps you stuck
• The difference between “I am anxious” vs. “I’m feeling anxious”
• How anxiety can be a signal pointing you back to yourself

If you’ve noticed your anxiety getting worse, your mind constantly racing, or feeling more overwhelmed after being on your phone, this episode is for you.
What you’re consuming every day — especially on social media — may be increasing your anxiety more than you realize.

Episode Summary

In this episode of FVCK Anxiety, Sari breaks down the connection between social media, screen time, and anxiety — and how constant consumption is quietly affecting your nervous system.

She shares how scrolling, notifications, and dopamine-driven apps are keeping your mind overstimulated, increasing overthinking, and making it harder to feel calm or present. What feels like “relaxing” or “checking out” is often adding to anxiety, not relieving it.

Sari also reflects on how this is impacting not just adults, but the next generation — and how early exposure to screens is shaping anxiety, attention, and emotional regulation in kids.

This episode is an invitation to step back and look honestly at what you’re consuming every day — and how it may be contributing to the anxiety, stress, and disconnection you’re feeling.

What You’ll Learn

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How social media and screen time increase anxiety and overthinking
• Why dopamine from scrolling can make your anxiety worse over time
• How constant consumption affects your nervous system and attention
• Why boredom and creativity are important for reducing anxiety
• How anxiety is influenced by what you consume daily
• Simple ways to reduce screen-related anxiety and feel more present

Reflection

Toward the end of the episode, Sari invites you to take an honest look at what you’re consuming daily — and whether it’s increasing your anxiety or supporting your well-being.

Why Anxiety Makes You Feel Out of Control (And How to Take Your Power Back)

If you’re a woman dealing with anxiety, overthinking, and the constant need to control everything just to feel safe, this episode is for you.
Anxiety doesn’t just stay in your mind, it takes over your body, your decisions, and your entire life.

Episode Summary

In this first episode of FVCK Anxiety, Sari shares what anxiety actually looks like in real life — not just stress or overthinking, but the constant feeling of being on edge, needing control, and never truly feeling safe.

She breaks down how anxiety often starts as fear that was never understood, then builds into patterns of control, hypervigilance, and exhaustion over time. What feels like being “responsible” or “holding it all together” is often anxiety running the show.

Sari shares her personal experience with panic attacks, fear, and living in a constant state of survival, along with the moment she realized she couldn’t keep living that way.

This episode introduces a different approach to anxiety. Not just talking about it, and not just masking it, but learning how to understand it, work with it, and take your power back in real time.

If you feel like anxiety has been controlling your life, this is where things start to change.

What You’ll Learn

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why anxiety makes you feel out of control and constantly on edge
• How fear turns into overthinking, control, and hypervigilance
• Why anxiety can feel like it’s protecting you while actually limiting your life
• How anxiety shows up in women as pressure, perfectionism, and responsibility
• Why talking about anxiety isn’t always enough to create real change
• What it means to start taking your power back from anxiety

Reflection

Toward the end of the episode, Sari invites you to look at how anxiety may be influencing your daily decisions, and whether you’ve been organizing your life around avoiding fear.
