FVCK ANXIETY: For High Functioning Women Ready to Heal Anxiety with Hypnotherapy
FVCK Anxiety is a podcast for the woman who looks completely fine on the outside.
She shows up for everyone. She holds it all together. She answers “I’m good” on autopilot.
But inside, she’s white-knuckling every single day. Overthinking everything. Waiting for the next panic attack. Controlling her schedule, her relationships, and every outcome she can get her hands on — just to feel okay.
That’s high-functioning anxiety. And most women living with it have never heard those words applied to them.
This podcast exists for her.
FVCK Anxiety explores the real root of anxiety in women — the fear that got pushed down, the control that took over, and the nervous system that never learned it was safe to rest.
Through honest conversations, real-life stories, and practical tools, each episode helps you understand:
• Why overthinking, panic attacks, and the need to control everything are connected
• How high-functioning anxiety shows up in mothers, women, and high-achievers
• What nervous system regulation actually looks like in real life
• How to interrupt anxiety in real time — not just manage it
• What it takes to stop letting fear run the show
Hosted by Sari Cowsert — a mother, intuitive hypnotherapist, and someone who has lived this pattern firsthand.
This podcast is for women who are exhausted from pretending they’re fine — and ready to understand what’s actually happening inside them.
Because when a woman learns how to understand her anxiety instead of suppressing it…
She doesn’t just change her own life.
She changes the emotional inheritance of her daughters.

Ep.36 How to Let Go of Control, Surrender to Trust, and Break Free From Old Patterns with Sari and Liz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re exhausted from trying to “fix” your body, overthinking every spiritual tool, or chasing some elusive state of perfection—pause and breathe. I see you. That feeling of being stuck in patterns that no affirmation, meditation, or juice cleanse seems to touch? You’re not crazy. You’re smack-dab in the human experience—a place Liz (our guest and soul-voice for this episode) and I refuse to sugarcoat.
Today, we rip into the shiny promise of transformation culture. From my own brutal honesty about postpartum weight, perimenopause, and learning to actually inhabit my life, to Liz’s wild, embodied journey into surrender, partnership, and real-deal presence. This isn’t about bypassing your struggle or escaping it via the next retreat. We’re talking functional healing, messy feelings, hormone hell, joy, relationships, spiritual escapism—AND radical self-acceptance.
If you’re tired of “just think positive” advice, burned out on spiritual hustle, or grappling with body changes that make you want to crawl out of your skin, this episode is a safe, fierce, heart-led permission slip. We name the hard stuff, laugh anyway, and remind you: you don't have to fix yourself before you enjoy your own damn life.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why relying on manifestation or energy work alone can leave you more stuck and frustrated
- The reality of perimenopause, weight gain, and women’s hormonal changes (unfiltered and unashamed)
- How spiritual tools—meditation, hypnosis, Tantra—can blur into avoidance and escapism
- The difference between discipline and rigid self-punishment, and how to actually listen to your body
- What grounded healing looks like: combining earthly support (yes, the doctor, yes, the tests) with spiritual practices, without bypassing either
- Why presence isn’t just a buzzword, but the real source of joy, gratitude, and healing when you finally claim your own life
✨ Key Takeaway
You don’t have to “fix” your body or escape your mess to be deserving of joy—sometimes the bravest thing you can do is be wildly, fully present with your own life, as it is, right now.
