Anna Cathcart: The Habit Of Anxiety

Taylor Lautner
About this episode

In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by actress Anna Cathcart! For the first time, Anna opens up about her personal journey with anxiety—from childhood struggles with separation anxiety and a phobia of throwing up to the tools and therapy that continue to help her today. She also shares what it’s been like balancing college life alongside her acting career, how her professors and classmates have responded, and how she’s learned to let happiness and anxiety coexist. Anna reflects on the unique challenges of transitioning from child star to professional actress and how her time on XO, Kitty has shaped her both personally and professionally. Plus, she gives an exciting sneak peek into what fans can expect in Season 2 of XO, Kitty!
