Beneath the Busy: Insights into Workplace Mental Health

Behind the Drive: When Anxiety takes the Wheel

Lauren Davis Season 1 Episode 9

Anxiety often hides behind high performance, overthinking, and the need to stay in control. In this episode, we unpack what anxiety really is, and what it isn’t. 

You’ll learn:
 – How anxiety hijacks your nervous system
 – Why it can mask itself as productivity or people-pleasing
 – A practical tool to interrupt spirals (the “What If” antidote)
 – And how to work with anxiety, not just fight it

Because the goal isn’t to get rid of anxiety. It’s to understand the role it’s playing behind the scenes.
