Why Overdoing Reinforces Anxiety and How to Practice 'Just Enough'

Most people think anxiety keeps you stuck in inaction — hiding, avoiding, or freezing. But with high-functioning anxiety, it often looks completely different. In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful lessons I've learned from helping hundreds of high-achieving professionals manage their anxiety — lessons that may just change the way you see yourself.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The unexpected way anxiety drives high achievers to cope
• A common pattern that leaves you drained without realizing it
• A powerful shift that can help you finally feel calmer
