About this listen
In this episode, I return from my podcasting nap (hi again! 👋) to talk about something near and dear to my breath-holding, stomach-clenching, thought-spiraling heart: anxiety—and why meditation can be both a healing path and a terrible idea... depending on your nervous system's current mood.
We cover:
- Why I haven’t talked much about meditation before — even though it’s been my jam for a decade
- The sneaky, spiraling cycle of anxiety and fear—and how thoughts and bodily reactions egg each other on like drama queens
- Why “regulate first, think later” might just be the tattoo your nervous system needs
- How meditation helps you stop believing every anxious thought (but only after you’ve had a snack and shaken your limbs a bit)
- Why stillness is not always the best medicine (and how to know when it is)
- Tips on getting started with a meditation practice—especially if your brain is like a squirrel on espresso
Plus, here is my Insight Timer profile that I share about in the episode that has many other meditation recommendations, and a gentle reminder that you’re not broken—you’re just a human in a human body.
🧘♀️✨ TL;DR: You don't have to believe everything you think. Regulate first. Then we’ll talk:)
