Anxiety isn’t random - and it isn’t weakness. It’s your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you. In this episode of the Inner Inner Space Podcast, Nisha takes you beneath the surface of anxiety to uncover its true roots. From childhood unpredictability to understanding patterns, discover why anxiety lingers and why quick fixes like journaling or yoga often only scratch the surface.

Through her own story and the transformative lens of parts work (Internal Family Systems), Nisha shows how anxiety is not a flaw to fight but a younger part of you asking for safety, compassion and trust. You’ll learn how anxiety shows up in the body, mind and relationships, why it resists being silenced and how to begin meeting it differently - so it no longer runs your life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of panic, overthinking or control, this episode will help you see anxiety in a whole new light: not as something broken, but as a message ready to be understood.
