✨ Today’s Episode:

Today we’re talking about why anxiety healing often becomes overwhelming, not because you’re doing too little, but because you’re doing too much. From breathwork to supplements to endless techniques, the nervous system becomes overloaded with “fixing,” which keeps it stuck in fear. In this episode, I guide you back to one simple, consistent anchor: watching the natural breath as it unfolds. No controlling, no performing, just returning. This is how you rebuild trust, regulation, and internal safety.

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Most anxiety sufferers aren’t under-supported, they’re over-stimulated.
• Too many healing tools confuse the mind and keep the nervous system on high alert.
• Simplicity creates familiarity, and familiarity creates safety.
