A grounded guide for the woman who’s doing her best but still feels like she’s drowning in anxiety.

If you’ve been walking through your days with a tight chest, racing thoughts, and a to-do list that just. won’t. stop…

If your mind keeps whispering, “You’re falling behind,” or “You should be handling this better,”…

First, take a deep breath with me.

You are not broken.

You are not weak.

And you are not alone.

Anxiety can feel like it’s hijacking your life—stealing your focus, your sleep, your joy.

But here’s the truth no one really teaches us:

You don’t have to fight it to take your power back.

You just need to understand what’s really going on and learn how to respond with more compassion and less chaos to your anxiety.

Let’s walk through this together.

Why You’re Feeling Anxious:

Anxiety isn’t the villain we make it out to be. It’s a messenger.

It’s your nervous system trying to protect you, even when there’s no real danger.

Your brain doesn’t always know the difference between a real threat and a thought that feels like one. So it sends out alarms. Fight. Flight. Freeze.

Even when all you did was open your inbox.

But the beauty in this is simple: If your thoughts are creating the storm, you have the power to calm the winds.

What Most of Us Do With Anxiety (and Why It Makes it Worse)

When anxiety hits, most of us automatically try to get rid of it. Which totally makes sense. No one wants to feel this way.

But those quick fixes? They usually backfire.

• Resisting it: “Not now. I don’t have time to feel this.”

• Reacting to it: Overworking, spiraling, trying to fix everything.

• Avoiding it: Scrolling, snacking, numbing out, staying busy just to not feel.

All of these responses are rooted in survival mode. And while they might soothe you for a moment, they keep you stuck in the loop.

Here’s What to Do Instead: The Empowered Approach

This is what I walk my coaching clients through when they feel like they’re barely keeping it together. And trust me, it changes everything.

1. Name it.

Pause and say to yourself, “This is anxiety.” You shift from being in it to witnessing it, and that alone creates space to breathe.

2. Describe it like a sensation, not a problem.

Where is it in your body? Is it tightness in your chest? Buzzing in your hands? Name the texture, the pace, the temperature. Describing it helps you observe instead of panic.

3. Write out the thoughts behind the anxiety.

Anxiety is almost always born from a thought like:

• “I’m going to mess this up.”

• “I’m not doing enough.”

• “I can’t handle this.”

Put it on paper. Read it out loud. Ask: “Is this absolutely true?” Most times, it’s not. It’s just fear talking.

4. Let it stay for 10 minutes.

Don’t fight it. Don’t run. Just sit with it. Breathe into it. Imagine the worst-case scenario and watch how your nervous system doesn’t explode. You’re building proof that you’re safe to feel uncomfortable emotions.

5. Breathe—deep into your belly.

Focus on your exhale. Not to force yourself to calm down, but to create space for your body to release. You’re not trying to control the wave. You’re learning to ride it.

You Don’t Need to Be “Fixed”—You Just Need Support

Here’s what I know for sure.

You can feel anxious and still be wildly capable.

You can be overwhelmed and still move forward.

You can feel like life is too much and still make space to breathe, soften, and begin again.

You don’t need to power through. You need to feel supported and seen.

That’s where your power comes from.
