Anxiety can feel like it’s woven into who someone is. The constant bracing. The looping thoughts. The sense of being behind before the day even starts. In this episode, Anna and Tim slow it down and name what so many people quietly live with, chronic anxiety that doesn’t look like panic, but never really shuts off.

Through real stories from their own relationship, work, grief, and daily life, they unpack how anxiety shows up differently for different people. From rumination and overanalysis to decision paralysis and scanning for threat, this conversation brings language to experiences many have never been able to explain out loud. Join them as they explore why anxiety sticks around, how it slowly shrinks life, and why it’s not a personality trait but a nervous system stuck on high alert.

This Episode Covers:

• The difference between chronic anxiety and panic or diagnosis.
• Living in a constant state of bracing and being on edge.
• How rumination, looping thoughts, and overanalysis fuel anxiety.
• Decision fatigue, avoidance, and analysis paralysis.
• Negativity bias and interpreting neutral moments as threats.
• How anxiety shows up in the body, including jaw tension, gut issues, and exhaustion.
• The way anxiety quietly shrinks life and limits joy.
• Why anxiety is not your personality, but an alarm system that can be retrained.

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
