FVCK ANXIETY: Tools for a Woman's Freedom
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.

Why Social Media Is Making Your Anxiety Worse (And You Don’t Realize It)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
