There’s a strange comfort in the sweat.

Not because it solves anything, but because it seems to quiet something down. At least for a while.

The post-workout calm – loose muscles, slower thoughts – can feel like relief. And maybe it is. But when the anxiety keeps creeping back in, just as loud as before, it starts to feel like you’re chasing something that never really stays.

This episode explores why exercise feels so effective in the moment – and why leaning on it too much can quietly turn into a trap. A loop that looks like control, but might be reinforcing the very thing you're trying to escape.

We’ll look at how your system handles stress, what actually burns off adrenaline, and why the path to long-term ease might be different than you think.

Understanding this won’t just give you clarity. It might give you some breathing room. Let’s dive in.
