Over the summer, we’re bringing back some of your favorite episodes! These are the top downloaded episodes you couldn’t get enough of.

Today’s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 185 helping you identify 3 reasons why you might have high-functioning anxiety.

The thing with high-functioning anxiety is that it’s not always easy to detect. We seem to be functioning well in our day-to-day lives, but under the surface we feel edgy, stressed, and overwhelmed.

It’s that sense that there’s not enough time and we’re running behind. We feel tired, but wired. Our body is telling us to slow down, but our brain is convincing us we can push harder. I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it is to live with anxiety.

In today’s episode, we explore 3 of the most common roots of high-functioning anxiety, and I coach you through ways you can start the healing process and help your body move out of an anxious state and return to regulation.

Do you ever feel like your brain is constantly busy, and it's hard to concentrate and even harder to relax?

Burnout doesn't just make you tired; it wreaks havoc on your entire nervous system.

Whether you’ve been experiencing anxiety for days or decades, I’m here to tell you that peace is possible.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything - mindset work, medication, meditation - but nothing has really gotten to the root of your anxiety, you're probably right.

So many of the remedies for anxiety we see today are band-aids that might help treat some of the symptoms of anxiety, but don’t address the root cause of why you’re feeling anxious.

Tune in to today’s episode to learn the #1 thing you need to know and understand in order to truly overcome your anxiety and find an effective path to healing.

Are you curious about how anxiety might be impacting your parenting?

• How to identify five surprising ways anxiety shows up in your parenting.
• Understanding how these anxious behaviors affect your kids' development and well-being.
• Nervous system regulation techniques and other strategies to create a calmer, more supportive family environment

What is your first reaction when you think about money?

If anxiety or shame arises when it comes to managing your cash, you’re not alone (wait ‘til you hear about my panic-attack moment the first time I met with a new financial advisor).

Or maybe you feel under-educated or in over your head when it comes to making important financial decisions.

My guest today is Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the ‘Money Isn’t Scary’ podcast where she helps women take an active role in their money management.

Society has fed us the narrative that women aren’t competent with money and perpetuates that claim by making a joke out of it on social media (can we stop with the IG Reels about women hiding Amazon boxes from their husbands?).

Meghan aims to empower women to make money decisions out of a sense of abundance and confidence, rather than scarcity and fear.

3 things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. How societal messages disempower women to take a front seat when it comes to their finances.
2. The biggest areas where women play small with their money (knowledge, earning, spending, negotiation)
3. Why you feel like you can’t trust yourself with money and what to do about it
