In this episode of The Anxious Girly, we’re talking about who you choose to keep around you, and why it matters more than we’re often taught. I reflect on what it means to stop giving unlimited access to people who don’t pour back, don’t show up, or leave you feeling smaller after every interaction. This isn’t about bitterness, punishment, or cutting people off impulsively, it’s about self-respect, boundaries, and emotional sustainability.

This episode is an invitation to look honestly at your relationships and ask: Who adds to my life, and who quietly drains it?

You’re allowed to choose better. You’re allowed to protect your energy. And you’re allowed to walk away without hating anyone.

After my crisis, I made a quiet decision: to step away from alcohol-not as a rule, not as a forever thing, but as an act of self-care.

In this episode, I talk honestly about:

• why alcohol stopped feeling supportive for me

• how cutting it out wasn’t about control or punishment

• the difference between “giving something up” and “choosing clarity”

• and what it’s taught me about listening to my body and nervous system

This isn’t an anti-alcohol episode.
It’s not advice, and it’s not a challenge.

It’s simply one person sharing what helped them feel steadier, safer, and more present during a fragile season-and why there doesn’t have to be a rush to add things back in before you’re ready.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, or felt pressure to drink socially when it didn’t actually serve you, this one’s for you.🤍

In this episode, I talk about my recent experience seeing a mental health professional-and how I left the appointment feeling more confused and dismissed than supported.This isn’t an attack on psychiatry or mental health services.It’s a personal reflection on what it can feel like when you reach out for help and the support you receive doesn’t meet the moment you’re in.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only person who’s walked away from an appointment questioning themselves, minimising their own pain, or wondering whether they “explained things wrong.”

This is not medical advice, and I’m not encouraging anyone to avoid seeking professional support. If you’re struggling, please keep reaching out-sometimes it takes more than one conversation to find the right fit.

If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling smaller instead of steadier, I hope this makes you feel less alone.🤍

If speaking up makes people uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean you’re wrong-it means they’re not used to emotional honesty.
This episode dives into what it really means to be a sensitive, self-aware person in a world full of people who deflect, minimise, or can’t meet you where you are.
You’re not asking for too much.
You’re asking the wrong people.
Let’s get into it. 💕
