Beneath the Busy: Insights into Workplace Mental Health
Behind the Drive: When Anxiety takes the Wheel
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.
