    #36 How Chronic Stress Causes Anxiety & Physical Symptoms: The Nervous System Connection

    You’re doing all the “right” things to heal, so why does your anxiety keep coming back? Why are you exhausted but wired? And why does your body keep giving you new symptoms? In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down what chronic stress actually does to your nervous system and why your body can start responding to everyday life like you’re running from a tiger 24/7. Kerry covers: Why modern chronic stress can keep your nervous system stuck in threat modeHow people-pleasing, perfectionism, overworking, poor boundaries, family stress, money stress, and constantly living beyond your capacity add to the loadWhy chronic stress can leave you feeling exhausted but wiredThe connection between your nervous system, stress hormones, gut, immune system, hormones, blood sugar, fascia, and other body systemsWhat allostatic load means and why years of accumulated stress can affect how resilient you feel nowWhy simply removing one stressor may not automatically make your body feel safe againHow nervous system resilience can change the way your body responds to stressKerry also shares her own experience of living with chronic pain, debilitating periods, gut problems, skin issues, insomnia, dizziness, anemia, frequent illness, and other symptoms while living under years of chronic stress, and how differently her body responds to a high-stress life now after building nervous system resilience. If you feel like you’ve tried everything for your anxiety or physical symptoms but your body still feels like it’s constantly bracing for something, this episode will help you look at the missing nervous system piece.

    #35 The Real Difference Between Therapy and Nervous System Coaching for Anxiety & Chronic Symptoms

    Maybe you’ve already tried therapy and you’re wondering why nervous system coaching would be any different. Or maybe you know you need support, but you have no freaking clue whether you should be looking for a therapist, a coach, or something completely different. Either way, the real question is: what kind of support actually matches what you’re trying to change? In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down the real difference between talk therapy and nervous system coaching, including the goals, structure, tools, level of support, and types of problems each one is designed to help with. Kerry covers: Why therapy and coaching can have completely different goalsThe difference between open-ended therapy and working toward one clear outcome in coachingWhy nervous system coaching goes beyond talking and includes the body, thoughts, emotions, lifestyle, boundaries, and identityHow somatic work, neurological exercises, myofascial release, lymphatic work, and other body-based tools fit into coachingWhy support between calls can make such a huge difference when you’re dealing with real-life triggersWhen therapy is the more appropriate choiceWhen trauma belongs in therapy versus when nervous system coaching can help with the patterns trauma left behindWhen nervous system coaching may make sense for anxiety, burnout, overthinking, hypervigilance, body fear, chronic symptoms, or feeling like you’re not living to your full potentialThis isn’t about therapy being better than coaching or coaching being better than therapy. They’re different types of support designed for different goals. Whether you’ve spent years in therapy or you’re just now deciding where to start, this episode will help you figure out what kind of support actually makes sense for where you are now and where you want to go.

    #34 The Survival Pattern Behind Anxiety, People-Pleasing, Body Checking, Scarcity & Self-Sabotage

    What if the anxiety, overthinking, body checking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundary guilt, scarcity AND self-sabotage you’ve been treating like separate problems are actually coming from the same deeper pattern? In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down how one survival pattern can show up in completely different areas of your life, making it feel like there’s always something new to fix. You’ll hear why saying yes when you mean no, spiraling over a text, scanning your body for symptoms, replaying one awkward sentence after a meeting, or pulling back the second something good happens may not be random at all. This episode is about the moment you stop asking, “Why am I like this?” and start seeing the learned pattern underneath it. Kerry also shares why knowing better isn’t always enough, how survival responses can start feeling like personality, and what begins to change when you realize that who you learned to become is not who you’re required to stay. If you’ve spent years trying to manage anxiety, health anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundaries, overthinking, or self-sabotage separately, this episode may help you see the connection you’ve been missing. In this episode: Why the same survival pattern can show up as anxiety, people-pleasing, body checking, perfectionism, and self-sabotageHow learned responses start feeling like personalityWhy you can understand a pattern and still keep doing itThe connection between hypervigilance, reassurance-seeking, boundaries, and controlWhy success, money, relationships, and visibility can trigger old survival responsesWhat changes when you stop treating every symptom like a separate problemHow to recognize the survival identity underneath the behaviorGo deeper with The Survival Recoding™️: A 6-day audio activation to recode the survival pattern secretly running your life so you can step into who you were meant to be.

    #33 High-Functioning Dissociation: Signs of Functional Freeze & How to Feel Like Yourself Again

    What if what you’ve been calling anxiety, burnout, lack of motivation, or “just how I am” is actually high-functioning dissociation? In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry shares her personal experience with dissociation, from freezing and losing access to her voice as a kid to becoming an extremely high-functioning woman who looked completely fine on the outside while feeling very different internally. She also shares the most dangerous dissociative episode of her life and why understanding dissociation as a protective nervous system response completely changed the way she saw herself. Kerry breaks down: What high-functioning dissociation and functional freeze can actually look likeWhy you can be successful, social, productive and still be dissociatedThe signs you may be living in your head instead of fully experiencing your lifeWhy numbness, burnout, lack of motivation and feeling like you’re “not yourself” can be part of the pictureWhy using nervous system tools that don’t match your actual state can leave you feeling worseThe three layers Kerry uses to help women come out of these patterns: body, thoughts and identityHow to stop being controlled by triggers and start feeling your emotions without being afraid of themWhat becomes possible when you finally feel present, connected, confident and like YOU again The goal isn’t to become better at managing dissociation. It’s to get to the point where you can experience stress, triggers, bad days, joy, excitement, anger, love and everything in between without disappearing inside of any of it.

    #32 5 Signs Trapped Anger Is Fueling Your Anxiety, Chronic Pain & Nervous System Symptoms

    You might think you’re “not an angry person,” but what if you actually learned a long time ago that anger wasn’t safe to feel? In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down five signs that trapped or suppressed anger may be keeping you stuck in anxiety, obsessive thoughts, chronic pain, physical symptoms, self-criticism, and constant irritability. Kerry also explains why immediately trying to calm yourself down, forgive, reframe, or “love and light” your way through anger can sometimes become another form of self-abandonment. Inside the episode, Kerry covers how anger can get turned inward, why you might feel guilty every time someone upsets you, the connection between suppressed anger and being highly self-critical, why you may feel constantly on edge or snappy, and what actually helps you start changing the pattern. You’ll also learn the three pieces Kerry uses to work through anger differently: releasing it from the body with anger-specific somatic tools, changing the beliefs that make anger feel wrong or unsafe, and learning how to express what you actually feel without exploding, overexplaining, or feeling like an a*****e afterward. Because nervous system healing is not about becoming so regulated that nothing ever pisses you off. It’s about becoming someone who can feel anger, listen to what it is telling you, move it through your body, and stop turning it against yourself.

    #31 In Conversation: Why Your IBS & Gut Problems Aren't Healing with Kora Burchard

    If you’ve tried the restrictive diets, supplements, testing, functional medicine, and all the gut-healing things…but you’re STILL dealing with bloating, food intolerances, constipation, flare-ups, or feeling like your stomach controls your life, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry sits down with her dear friend, former student, and now colleague Kora Burchard, an IBS coach and nutrition specialist with a master’s in nutrition and integrative health. Kora helps ambitious women heal their IBS without unnecessary restriction by combining nutrition, lifestyle support, and nervous system regulation. Kora shares her own story of going from being a healthy, active college student to experiencing debilitating digestive symptoms, ER visits, severe bloating, constipation, food intolerances, and eventually an IBS diagnosis. She also shares what finally changed when she stopped looking at gut health as ONLY a physical problem and began addressing the gut-brain connection too. In this episode, Kerry and Kora talk about: Why the gut and nervous system are constantly communicatingHow stress can trigger very real digestive symptoms and IBS flare-upsWhy restrictive diets and supplement protocols aren’t always the whole answerThe foundational pieces many women skip when trying to heal their gutHow fear of food can create another stress-symptom cycleWhy mindset, nervous system regulation, and learning to trust your body matterThe danger of constantly researching and piecing together conflicting gut-health adviceWhy healing takes consistency, personalization, and timeWhat becomes possible when your gut stops controlling where you go, what you eat, and how you liveBecause healing your gut isn’t about creating an even longer list of foods you’re afraid to eat. It’s about building a body that feels resilient enough for you to eat, travel, go out to dinner, take opportunities, and actually live your freaking life again.

    #30 Chronic Pain, the Brain & Nervous System: Why Pain Can Continue After the Body Heals

    What if your pain is completely real…without meaning your body is still damaged? In today’s episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down how chronic pain can continue after an injury has healed, why the brain and nervous system play such a huge role in pain, and how fear, body scanning, tension and even the language you use can keep the pain alarm turned up. Kerry also shares how she spent over 20 years believing her debilitating chronic pain was caused by scoliosis—until she healed her nervous system, released years of stress and fear from her body, and her pain went away even though she still had scoliosis. In this episode, Kerry talks about: Why pain is not always a direct measurement of damageHow the brain can continue producing pain after the original threat has passedWhy nervous system healing matters for chronic painHow fear and tension can keep pain goingWhy the words you use about your body matterHow to rebuild trust in your body and stop living afraid of sensation Inside The Neuro Babe Club, Kerry helps women work with the whole loop: nervous system healing, physical tension release, fear-based thinking, body trust and identity.

    #29 7 Sneaky Things Making Your Anxiety Worse

    What if some of the things keeping your anxiety turned up have absolutely nothing to do with your thoughts? In today’s episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry is breaking down 7 sneaky things that may be making your anxiety worse—including a few you probably have NEVER thought about. We’re talking posture. Fascia. Food. Overworking. Movement. Minerals. And even the way some of your “healthy” habits might actually be adding more stress to your system. And no, this is not your invitation to create another 47-step healing routine and become hypervigilant about doing everything perfectly. Quite the opposite. These are simple ways to understand your body better, support your nervous system, and make it easier for your body to finally get out of survival mode. In this episode, Kerry talks about: How your posture and everyday screen habits may be affecting anxiety and nervous system regulationWhy tight fascia and chronic body tension matterThe anxiety-undereating connectionHow to think about reducing your toxic load WITHOUT becoming obsessive about itWhy overworking can keep your body trapped in survival mode and burnoutWhy your nervous system may actually need MORE movement—not another calming practiceThe role of higher-intensity exercise in releasing pent-up stress and energyWhy minerals, electrolytes, and hydration matter when you’re chronically stressedSimple ways to start supporting your body without making healing another full-time job Because sometimes feeling better isn’t about finding another complicated protocol. It’s about finally understanding what your body has been asking you for all along—and giving it what it needs consistently enough that feeling good starts becoming your NORMAL. And that’s exactly the kind of work Kerry does inside The Neuro Babe Club.
