    Unmask Anxiety #20 Anxiety & The Female Nervous System With Jeannie Frances Stumne

    In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I’m joined by Jeannie Frances Stumne to explore anxiety and the female nervous system, and why understanding our bodies as women can completely change the way we understand our mental health. We talk about hormones and anxiety, the menstrual cycle, burnout, trauma, nervous system regulation and chronic stress and what happens when we spend years pushing through, overriding our body’s signals and treating our physical and mental health as completely separate. We also explore why anxiety can be a signal that something deeper needs our attention, why our bodies can begin with a whisper before they’re forced to scream, and the role of co-regulation, pleasure, connection and slowing down in helping us reconnect with ourselves. If you’ve ever caught yourself searching…Why does my anxiety get worse before my period?How do hormones affect anxiety?Why do I feel overwhelmed all the time?Why can’t I switch off and relax?What are the signs of nervous system dysregulation?Why am I always exhausted and anxious?How do I regulate my nervous system?…then this conversation is for you. 🤍 Connect with Sofia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sofia_c_fiotaki/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sophia.fiotakis.7  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@holistic_anxiety_coach  Email: coaching@sofiafiotaki.com  Connect with Jeannie Frances Stumne Website: https://shinebrighterllc.com/meetjeannie  Freebie: https://connect.shinebrighterllc.com/widget/form/Ip1Diq9hu13CRjS0u7Tz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithjeannie/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeannie.stumne  These conversations don't end when the episode does.

    Unmask Anxiety #19 The Message Behind Your Exhaustion (What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You) with Rachel Smith

    Why am I always exhausted? Why can't I switch off? Why do I feel anxious even when nothing is "wrong"? If you've ever found yourself asking these questions, this episode is for you. In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I'm joined by nurse practitioner Rachel Smith for a conversation about why so many women feel constantly exhausted, overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves and what our bodies might actually be trying to tell us. Together, we explore the connection between anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, gut health, sleep, nervous system regulation and the modern habits that leave us feeling constantly overwhelmed, overstimulated and disconnected from ourselves. We talk about why we're taught to push through instead of listening to our bodies, how constant stimulation impacts the way we think and feel, and why healing often begins by slowing down and becoming curious about what our symptoms are trying to tell us. If you've ever caught yourself Googling... Why am I always exhausted? Why do I feel exhausted even though my blood tests are normal? Why do I feel overwhelmed all the time? Why can't I switch off? Why does anxiety make me feel physically sick? Why can't I sleep even though I'm exhausted? What are the signs of burnout? ...then this conversation is for you.

    Unmask Anxiety #18 The Hidden Patterns Behind Love & Attachment with Andrea Atherton

    Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns? Why do I always lose myself in relationships? Why does love feel so much harder than it should? If you've ever found yourself asking these questions, this episode is for you. In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I'm joined by psychotherapist, art therapist, mindfulness practitioner and host of the Love Anarchy podcast, Andrea Atherton, for a deep conversation about relationship anxiety, attachment styles, self-love, people pleasing, healthy boundaries, childhood wounds, nervous system regulation and the hidden patterns shaping the way we experience love. Together, we explore why so many of us look to relationships for the love, safety and validation we're searching for, only to find ourselves repeating the same relationship patterns. We dive into how anxiety, attachment styles and childhood conditioning influence the people we're drawn to, why healthy relationships can sometimes feel unfamiliar, and why healing begins by reconnecting with yourself, not by finding the "right" person. If you've ever caught yourself Googling: Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners? Why do I always lose myself in relationships? Why do I get anxious in relationships? Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns? How do I stop people pleasing? How do I heal anxious attachment? Why do I constantly need reassurance? How do I build a healthy relationship without abandoning myself? then this conversation is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why we keep repeating the same relationship patterns. The connection between anxiety, relationship anxiety, your nervous system and the people you're attracted to. Anxious attachment, avoidant attachment and how attachment styles shape adult relationships. Why we often mistake familiarity for love. How childhood experiences and old wounds continue to influence the way we love. Why boundaries are one of the greatest acts of self-love. The difference between looking to someone else for safety and becoming your own source of safety. Practical ways to build healthier, more conscious relationships without losing yourself.

    Unmask Anxiety #17 Anxiety Is Not Your Identity with Lara Dolden

    Have you ever told yourself “I’m just an anxious person”? In this episode of Unmask Anxiety, I’m joined by psychologist and cognitive hypnotherapist Lara Dolden to explore why anxiety is not your identity and what may actually be happening beneath the surface. So often we try to fight anxiety, get rid of anxious thoughts, or learn enough coping tools to keep functioning, but what if anxiety itself was never the real problem? Together we explore how anxiety can become the lens we see ourselves and our lives through, why our minds repeat old patterns and stories, and how anxiety is often a protective response created from past experiences, beliefs, and conditioning. We talk about:• Why anxiety is not who you are• How labels like “I am an anxious person” can shape your identity• The difference between coping with anxiety and truly healing• Why you can understand your anxiety but still feel stuck• The hidden ways anxiety influences your choices, relationships, and dreams• How old beliefs and stories shape what feels possible for your life• Learning to stop fighting yourself and start understanding what your anxiety is trying to show you If you have spent years trying to fix yourself, manage your anxiety, or wondering why you keep repeating the same patterns — this conversation is your reminder that there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is not about staying on the surface and trying to fix the symptoms. It begins when we start understanding what is happening underneath.

In this episode, we’ll explore how mindful eating can become a powerful practice for calming your mind, supporting your gut, and transforming your relationship with food.

    Unmask Anxiety #13 Why Slowing Down Is So Important For Anxiety

    In this episode, we’re talking about something that feels almost impossible in today’s world: slowing down. We’ll dive into why constantly rushing through life: always striving and always doing might be feeding your anxiety and keeping you stuck in cycles of overwhelm.  Together, we’ll explore the consequences of living in a constant state of “go” and why slowing down isn’t just a luxury. It’s essential for calming your mind, reconnecting with your body, and creating space for a happier life. Imagine what it would feel like to step out of the chaos, to stop running on empty, and to finally give yourself permission to breathe, rest, and just be.  What if slowing down was the key to finding more clarity, peace, and freedom in your life? This isn’t about giving up on your goals or doing less. It’s about honoring your natural rhythms, letting go of the pressure to always keep up, and learning how to slow down in a way that supports your healing and growth. Want more support?
