The Anxiety Party by The Neuro Babe

#21 I Thought Less Anxious Was the Goal. I Was Wrong.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I've been feeling a little better lately, so maybe I don't need to do anything about this" — this episode was made for you. Kerry is back with a quick solo episode (recorded right before sprinting off to watch the World Cup — no spoilers) and she's dropping something that might completely shift how you've been thinking about your own healing. Here's what she's seeing: most women who've been living in survival mode have had the bar set so low for so long that "a little less anxious" starts to feel like the finish line. Less on edge. Less obsessive. Less pain. Less, less, less. But less is not the goal. And Kerry wants you to sweep that bar out of your mind entirely and raise it times 30. In this episode, Kerry covers: * Why summer is one of the sneakiest seasons for keeping anxiety in place * The moment a Club client started feeling better and almost backed off everything she was doing — and what Kerry told her * What it actually means to exit survival mode (it's not symptom management) * Why you do not need to believe 100% that full healing is possible in order to start * A journaling prompt to help you get clear on your actual standard Because waking up without scanning your body for what's wrong, feeling genuinely excited to get out of bed, not carrying a running worry list before your feet hit the floor — that is not a fantasy. That is regulation. And that is what you're actually here for. This is your permission slip to stop abandoning yourself by accepting "a little better." ---------------------------------------- Ready to raise the bar?

#20 Why You're Terrified of Your Own Body (And What It's Actually Going to Take to Heal)

If you are constantly scanning your body, monitoring every sensation, and quietly terrified of what might be going on inside you, this episode will be a game changer. Body hypervigilance is one of the most exhausting sides of anxiety. The constant background scanner. The 24/7 loop of: does something feel wrong, is this getting worse, can I trust my body? And here is the thing nobody is talking about: your thoughts burn through physical energy too. Your nervous system is working overtime before you have even gotten out of bed, which means a woman with this kind of hypervigilance is burning through 20 times more energy than someone without it. In this episode, Kerry gets personal about her own two-decade experience with body-focused anxiety, starting with a scoliosis diagnosis in middle school that planted the subconscious belief that her body was broken and in danger. She covers why hypervigilance around your body makes complete nervous system sense, why trying to fix, control, or crack the code of your physical symptoms is actually keeping you stuck, and the two-part approach that leads to permanent healing rather than another temporary fix. She also calls out what is all over social media right now: health content designed to make you scan for more problems. Every account telling you that your symptoms mean you have this condition or that thing. Kerry does not do that, and this episode explains why that kind of content is anxiety fuel disguised as wellness. From there, she breaks down what actually has to happen for your body to heal for good. The first part is getting your nervous system into ventral vagal, where cellular healing genuinely accelerates, not through one-size-fits-all hacks or box breathing, but by learning your unique nervous system patterns and what specifically your body responds to. The second part, which Kerry calls the bigger piece, is subconscious belief work. Because if your deep-down belief is that your body is broken, cannot heal, or cannot be trusted, no protocol is going to override that. You will keep collecting evidence that something is wrong, and your brain will keep treating every what-if like a certainty. Kerry shares the specific beliefs she carried for years including things like my body is the enemy, I was dealt a bad hand, and I will be in pain forever, and walks through exactly how those beliefs show up as thought loops, avoidance behaviors, and physical symptoms. Not because something is uniquely wrong with you, but because your subconscious is doing exactly what it was wired to do. She closes with her own healing story: gut issues, POTS, dizziness, fainting on the subway in New York, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, all of it gone without treating any of it directly. That is what becomes possible when you stop being at war with your body and actually change what you believe about it. ---------------------------------------- What We Cover Health anxiety and body hypervigilance.

#18 High-Functioning Survival Mode: The Hidden Reason You're Still Anxious, Exhausted, and Stuck

High-functioning survival mode is still survival mode. In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry shares the truth most high-achieving women don't want to hear: just because you're getting everything done doesn't mean your nervous system is okay. If you're successful on paper but secretly exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or dealing with chronic symptoms that won't go away, this episode is for you. Kerry shares personal stories from her own life, including recovering from major spinal surgery while refusing to slow down, working as a clinical supervisor while simultaneously building her private practice, and the years she spent living on pure adrenaline without realizing she was trapped in survival mode. You'll learn: • What high-functioning survival mode actually looks like • The difference between stress and chronic nervous system dysregulation • Why anxiety, burnout, exhaustion, overwhelm, and many physical symptoms often have the same root cause • Signs you're living in functional freeze without realizing it • How overworking, overperforming, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment keep you stuck • Why healing isn't sticking even though you're trying so hard • The hidden ways work, business, relationships, and family dynamics keep your nervous system trapped in survival mode • What changes when you finally get out of survival mode If you've ever thought: "I should be able to handle this." "I look successful, so why do I feel so bad?" "If I slow down, everything will fall apart." This episode will help you understand why your nervous system may be telling a very different story.

#17 The Panic Party Era

If you've ever blacked out mid-presentation, spiral-texted someone at midnight, hyperventilated thinking you're dying, or convinced yourself someone's bad mood meant the relationship was over...this episode is for you. Kerry's pulling back the curtain on her panic party era: the hyperventilating on Grandfather Mountain, the Zoom workshop she clicked out of mid-panic attack, the rapid-fire texts she couldn't stop sending, and the anxiety nobody in the meeting could see. Real stories. No filter. But this isn't just a confessional — it's a roadmap. Because panic isn't only the hyperventilating, can't-breathe kind. It's the crawling out of your skin. The tornado of physical sensations. The absolute certainty that everything is ending. And it's the slow, invisible way it shrinks your world until you're avoiding the walk, the vacation, the new project, the next moves in your business — because not doing the thing feels safer than feeling what you think you're gonna feel. In this episode Kerry gets into: * What panic actually looks like beyond the dramatic version you picture * Why your nervous system isn't broken — it's just trying to get your attention * The survival mode identity that's keeping your world small (and how to get out of it) * Why avoiding never gets you out of the anxiety cage — and what actually does * What life looks like when you're no longer white-knuckling through your own day * If you've been wondering whether healing is actually possible for you — this is the episode that will make you believe it is.
