3 Things I Did When My Anxiety Was Overwhelming Me
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The last six months of my life have been intense.
Between work, responsibilities, and everything happening behind the scenes, I reached a moment where my anxiety was louder than my usual coping skills.
So I had to pause and make some real adjustments.
In this episode, I'm sharing the three things that helped me reset when life started feeling overwhelming, including:
• Seeking professional support when coping skills weren't enough
• Rebuilding healthy sleep habits to calm my nervous system
• Strengthening boundaries and managing my emotional capacity
If you've been feeling stretched thin, anxious, or like you're carrying more than you can hold, this conversation will remind you that needing support doesn't make you weak. It makes you human.
And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is decide you're not going to keep doing life on hard mode.
If you're ready to break toxic cycles, identify what's been keeping you stuck, and start rewriting the story of your life, check out the Main Character Intensive: https://www.heycoachk.co/intensive
