S3 E23 Stop Taking Orders From Anxiety
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if anxiety has been giving you orders for years?
"Don't go."
"Don't try."
"Stay where it's safe."
"Something might go wrong."
In this episode, Julie explores the difference between listening to anxiety and obeying it. Anxiety is designed to keep us safe, but sometimes the alarm gets stuck. When that happens, it can slowly shrink our world, stopping us from travelling, socialising, applying for opportunities, speaking up, or simply living the life we want.
Julie shares personal stories, including how anxiety tried to stop her travelling to India, and the inspiring story of "Alex", who spent twenty years trapped by his internal alarm before finding the courage to start leaving the house again.
You'll discover:
✨ Why anxiety behaves like an overactive alarm system
✨ Why you would never tolerate this treatment for someone you love
✨ How fear often disguises itself as protection
✨ The courage hidden in everyday actions
✨ A simple challenge to help you start taking your power back
This episode is dedicated to the unsung heroes: the people who hear the alarm, feel the fear, and take the next step anyway.
🏅 NEW: The "I Did It Anyway" Badge of Honour
If anxiety told you not to do something and you did it anyway, Julie wants to hear your story. Share your victory, no matter how small it seems. Every month, a listener will receive the official I Did It Anyway Badge of Honour in recognition of their courage.
Because bravery isn't the absence of fear.
It's hearing the alarm and choosing not to obey it.
Your Energy. On Your Terms.
