What Your Inner Child Is Still Panicking About

When anxiety won’t budge, it might be time to listen instead of fight. In this episode, we unpack a tool called anxiety curiosity—a method that works when nothing else does. Turns out, your anxiety might be running on outdated software. 
You’ll learn how to:
Spot when anxiety is rooted in childhood beliefs
Talk to the part of you that’s reacting like it’s still a kid
Use your “wise self” to separate signal from noise
I’ll walk you through a real example from my own experience with performance anxiety—and how digging into the mental archive changed everything.
