In this episode, we dive into high-functioning anxiety—what it really looks like, why it’s so common among high-achieving women, and how childhood experiences can secretly shape the way your nervous system responds to stress.

We talk about:
 . How high-functioning anxiety shows up in day-to-day life
 . The hidden costs of always “being fine”
 . Why your nervous system can keep you in overdrive even when life seems calm
 . Small, practical steps to start calming your mind without giving up ambition

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own brain, struggled to ask for help, or worried that slowing down means failing, this episode is for you.
