Episode 86 - Monet Cash, therapist at Uplift for Her, explains why worry and stress are not inherently bad, and how they can actually help us problem-solve and stay safe when functioning properly. In this episode, we explore one of the most common concerns women are facing today: anxiety. With the phrase “I have anxiety” becoming part of everyday language, it can be hard to tell where normal human worry ends and when something more serious begins.

Monet brings decades of clinical experience helping women understand what’s happening in the brain when anxiety takes over–and what we can do about it. She shares insights on cultivating grit, tolerating discomfort, retraining rigid thought patterns, and why courage is about taking action even when fear is present. Finally, we discuss how language matters, why labels can be limiting, and how mindfulness and distress-tolerance practices help bring us back into the present moment.
