Anxiety doesn’t always show up during chaos.
 For many people, it gets louder when things finally become quiet.

In this episode of the OnegirlOnegoal Podcast, we talk about why anxiety can feel worse in silence, why your mind becomes restless when there’s nothing demanding your attention, and what it means when quiet moments bring discomfort instead of peace.

This is a calm, honest conversation for anyone who feels uneasy at night, overwhelmed by their own thoughts, or unsure why slowing down makes their anxiety feel stronger.

This episode isn’t about stopping your thoughts or forcing yourself to relax.
 It’s about understanding why quiet can feel unsafe, how anxiety fills the space after long periods of survival mode, and why a restless mind doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

If you’ve ever noticed that your anxiety shows up most when life gets still, this conversation is here to meet you gently.

– your anxiety feels worse at night or in quiet moments
– silence makes your thoughts race
– you feel uneasy when there’s nothing to focus on
– your mind doesn’t know how to rest
– you want mental health support that feels calm and human

📖 Scripture referenced:
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (KJV)
