Declutter Your Mind: Managing High-Functioning Anxiety with Tati Garcia

Do you work too much and feel guilty about taking time for yourself? Do you find yourself overthinking things and having a hard time asserting your boundaries? Learn how to work through anxiety and discover what the root of it is for you.

Tati helps high-achievers with high-functioning anxiety feel more calm, present, and confident so they can finally stop overthinking everything and live a more balanced life. She has had over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health & self-improvement.

Quotes to remember: 

“It got to the point where it felt like I couldn’t handle it anymore--and that’s when I realized I shouldn’t be reacting this way to something so small.”

“It’s not a linear journey.” 

“You don’t need to be hard on yourself to be ambitious.” 

“When you’re overthinking things, in some way you feel like you have control.”
