I’ll also share my go-to check-in tool and a few personal stories from residency that remind me: caring for your mind is the ultimate act of self-respect.

Anxiety and Self-love: Flying With Fear

In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to feel anxious—and still move. Whether it’s boarding a literal flight or stepping into an unknown chapter of life, fear doesn’t always mean stop. Sometimes, it’s just a signal that something new is happening. I’m sharing how I recently had to choose trust over control, how I managed the anxiety that came with it, and why we don’t need to wait until we feel “ready” to show up for ourselves. I also walk you through one of my favorite therapy-informed tools for navigating fear with intention, because small steps count too. If you’re facing change, wrestling with self-doubt, or trying to love yourself through the fear, this one’s for you. You don’t have to be fearless to move forward, you just have to move.

Stick around for the poll at the end, I want to hear how this shows up for you too. Follow @Square.Of.Self.Love on Instagram and leave a 5-star review if this one hits home!
