Everything you’ve been told about managing anxiety? It’s probably making it worse. In this episode, Hilary is tearing up the mainstream advice playbook—because counting backwards, meditating through a full-blown panic spiral, or just “getting more sleep” isn’t going to cut it.
Anxiety isn’t the real problem—it’s a symptom. A flashing red warning light. And until you fix what’s actually going on underneath, you’ll be stuck dealing with it forever. The good news? You are both the problem and the solution. Which means you don’t have to keep living with this.
Episode Highlights:
- Why symptom-focused anxiety hacks don’t work (and what does)
- The real root cause of anxiety that no one talks about
- How self-betrayal, avoidance, and ignoring your gut are fueling your anxiety
- The mindset shift that will actually eliminate anxiety for good
- A simple but powerful way to turn anxiety into self-trust and inner peace
