Anxiety doesn’t always show up during stressful moments.
 Sometimes it appears when everything is quiet — when you finally sit down, slow down, or try to rest.In this episode, we talk about why anxiety can feel stronger when you’re doing nothing, and what it means when your body won’t settle even in calm moments.This is a gentle, honest conversation about nervous system overwhelm, emotional pressure, and the kind of anxiety that doesn’t seem to have a clear cause. No fixing. No forcing calm. Just understanding and care.If you’ve ever wondered why your anxiety feels worse when things slow down — or why rest feels uncomfortable instead of peaceful this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:
– anxiety that shows up in quiet moments
– why your body may stay on alert even when you’re safe
– how emotional and mental load affects rest
– a gentler way to approach anxiety without self-blameIf this conversation helped you feel a little less alone, I’d love for you to stay connected.You can subscribe to the podcast so these conversations are here whenever you need them.
