Michelle Grosser - Inspired by Brene Brown, Mel Robbins & Rachel Hollis
About this episode

Have you ever told yourself “just calm down” knowing full well that saying it isn’t going to do much to help?

Newsflash: Anxiety isn’t a mind game—it’s a full-body takeover. 

If you’ve tried to outsmart it with logic, you already know that simply “thinking” your way out of anxiety never works. Your nervous system craves real, body-based signals of safety.

In today’s episode, I’m serving up 3 powerful somatic practices that kick anxiety to the curb—fast. 

No marathon meditation sessions here, just quick, effective moves that work with your body, not against it.

Listen in to learn:
✅ Why anxiety lives in your body (and why mindset shifts alone don’t cut it)
✅ 3 simple somatic practices to shift the state of your nervous system in real time
✅ How to use movement, breath, and tapping to signal safety and reduce anxiety in real-time

Ready to turn your anxious moments into opportunities for calm? Hit play and let’s do this!
