Calm AF | Overthinking, Anxiety & Nervous System Regulation

Calm AF | Overthinking, Anxiety & Nervous System Regulation

Calm AF is a podcast about overthinking, anxiety, and learning how to calm your nervous system when your brain won't shut off. It's for high performers who look like they have it together on the outside but feel stuck replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, and carrying way more mental weight than they should have to. Hosted by Kristen Finch, this podcast names what's actually going on beneath the surface—from anxiety and emotional triggers to the patterns that keep capable people feeling internally unsettled. You're capable, trusted, and high-functioning. The goal isn't to fix you. It's to understand what's happening inside your mind and body so the inside can finally match what everyone else already sees on the outside. Real conversations. Honest insight. Tools that help you stop overthinking and finally feel calm again.

That's energetic integrit...

A few years ago, Courtney joined me on the podcast during the early stages of her Calm AF transformation. You can listen to that episode here. At the time, she had just returned from one of my retreats where she experienced a powerful future-self visualization that eventually led her to a completely different home and life.

What we didn't fully talk about bac...

If you've ever thought, "If I'm so smart…why can't I figure out how to be happy?" then I have good news.

I know the answer!
