Episode 10: Boarding Now: Panic Group C

What happens when two naturally anxious people decide to travel the world? In this episode of Worriosity, we’re recording from Newport, Rhode Island and sharing the travel stories that turned us into lifelong adventurers - even if our nervous systems weren’t totally on board. From studying abroad in Greece to backpacking through Central and South America with absolutely no plan, we talk about the trips that pushed us far outside our comfort zones and ultimately changed how we see the world. We also talk honestly about the worries that come with travel -safety, money, illness, language barriers, and being completely on your own - and how those experiences can unexpectedly build confidence, resilience, and unforgettable memories. If you’ve ever felt anxious about traveling internationally, planned a trip and immediately spiraled, or wondered whether travel is worth the stress, this episode is for you. Follow Worriosity for new episodes each week and more stories about everyday worries, and how we learn to live with them anyway.

Episode 9: Gold Metal in Aprés Ski

In this episode, we’re awarding ourselves the only medal we’re truly qualified for: Gold Medal in Après-Ski.With the Winter Olympics inspiring the world, we’re reflecting on our own experiences with winter sports… and by “experiences,” we mean black diamond meltdowns, bunny slope concussions, fogged-up goggles, broken feet at curling lessons, and a deep, spiritual preference for the lodge.From learning to ski on an icy black diamond in Vermont (yes, as beginners) to getting taken out by tiny children on the slopes, we unpack our most chaotic snow sport stories.If you’ve ever:• Hugged the wall at an ice skating rink• Cried on a ski slope• Questioned your nervous system on a snowboard• Preferred hot cocoa by the fire over actual athleticism…this one’s for you.We love the Winter Olympics. We love winter sports vibes. We just don’t necessarily love participating in them.Join us as we talk about skiing vs. snowboarding, downhill anxiety, the fear of speed, Olympic-level overthinking, and more.

Episode 8: It's Probably Fine, Right?

In this episode of Worriosity, we’re diving into one of our most on-brand topics yet: general hypochondria and health anxiety. * A headache? Obviously terminal. * A clicking toe? Better start drafting the will. * A character in a novel gets diagnosed with something rare? Somehow… we now have all the symptoms. In “It’s Probably Fine, Right?” we talk about growing up with real family health scares, how those experiences shaped our relationship with anxiety, and why every new ache or pain can feel like the beginning of the end. We share very real stories - from thyroid nodules and mammogram biopsies to swollen feet, mystery pains, and late-night symptom Googling - and unpack the fine line between being proactive about your health and spiraling into catastrophic thinking. We also talk about what’s actually helped: therapy, humor, asking better questions (instead of more Google searches), and learning when to breathe instead of panic. Because sometimes the ache is real… and sometimes the anxiety is just louder than the symptom. If you’ve ever convinced yourself you have a rare disease at 2AM, this episode is for you.

Episode 7: This Episode Burns Zero Calories

In this episode of Worriosity, we’re spiraling (lovingly) about weight, body image, and the anxiety that comes with trying to be “healthy.” From perimenopause and stubborn scales to gym anxiety, childhood food habits, and the mental math of “Am I working out enough… or somehow too much??” — we’re unpacking the emotional side of fitness and weight loss that nobody really warns you about. We talk about why the number on the scale can take over your brain, feeling self-conscious at the gym, and the pressure to do everything “right” with food and exercise. We also get into health anxiety, fears about heart health, and how easy it is to fall into a worry spiral when you’re just trying to take better care of yourself. Most importantly, we share what’s actually helping: giving ourselves more grace, focusing on overall health (not just weight), and finding movement we genuinely enjoy so it’s sustainable and doesn’t feel like punishment. If you’ve ever stressed after a weigh-in, skipped a workout because of body image worries, or felt like you’re doing your health journey “wrong,” this episode is for you. Because sometimes the real goal isn’t abs, it’s turning down the volume on the anxiety. New episodes of Worriosity drop every Tuesday.

Episode 6: Paw-ranoia

Pets may not speak our language… but they definitely understand our energy. In this episode of Worriosity, we dive into the worries (and wonders) of pet ownership—especially the emotional bond that forms between animals and the humans who love them. We share stories that prove what many pet parents already believe: animals can sense emotions, intentions, and even vibes… and they respond accordingly. We talk animal behavior, trust-building, and why some pets warm up instantly while others need time (or boundaries). If you’ve ever thought, “Why is my cat/dog like this?” or “Do they know when I’m anxious?”… this episode is for you. 📲 Follow @worriosity on Instagram + TikTok for clips and updates.
