Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it lives in the body, in our patterns, and in our past. In this episode of Unravel, I walk you through 3 science-backed steps to help you break the cycle of anxiety and return to a sense of groundedness in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Step 1: Drop-In
Step 2: Discern
Step 3: Disarm
We explore:
• How anxiety shows up somatically—tight chest, shallow breath, restlessness
• The role of the amygdala, neuroplasticity, and inherited sensitivity
• A simple, powerful breath practice to reset your nervous system
• Why emotional boundaries are essential for nervous system regulation
• The neuroscience of walking and how it mirrors EMDR
• How social connection and co-regulation calm the release of tachykinins
This episode is for anyone who’s felt the inner buzz of anxiety and wants to experience it in a more compassionate, embodied way.
Let this be your reminder: you don’t have to live in a constant survival mode.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
