Ever wonder why certain things make your anxiety spike while others barely faze you? Feeling your heart race, palms sweat, or mind spiral into overdrive? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Nearly Normal Podcast, we unpack the wide range of anxiety triggers—from everyday stressors that make you uneasy to full-blown moments that spark panic attacks. We’ll explore why certain situations cause anxiety and how your body reacts to stress.  We’ll talk about the physical sensations, the thought patterns behind them, and practical tools to reduce anxiety when it hits.

Through humor, honesty, and real-world examples, we normalize the anxious experiences we all face and share self-care strategies. Tune in for an empowering conversation that turns anxious energy into self-awareness and growth
