If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a loop of overthinking and never feeling caught up—you are so not alone. In this episode, Diane opens up about how anxiety shows up in everyday life (sometimes without us even knowing it), shares personal stories and spirals, and walks you through how she’s learning to manage it all with more awareness, boundaries, and peace. We’ll unpack things like: – What anxiety really feels like – Why overwhelm keeps us from moving forward – How meditation, energy audits, and even dance classes help – Plus, the stuff that makes anxiety worse (hi, caffeine and people-pleasing 👋) This is part one of a two-part series—think of it as the awareness phase. Part two is coming with more tactical tools. But for now, let’s start by getting honest about what’s really going on under the surface.  #MentalWellness #Anxiety #StressManagement   ✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS: 00:00 – Kicking things off: Ever feel super overwhelmed? 00:18 – Let’s talk anxiety—what it really is and why it shows up 01:00 – Diane opens up about her own journey 02:27 – Doing an energy audit (and why it helps with anxiety) 02:52 – Real, practical tools to calm the chaos 04:21 – More stories + how we’ve worked through tough moments 06:48 – How anxiety messes with your day-to-day 13:11 – Family stuff + how it ties into anxiety 18:17 – Gym family drama?
