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.
