#116 - Letting Go of the Need for Certai...

Sarah Yudkin
About this episode

I am so grateful to bring on another former client of mine to discuss her transformative journey with relationship anxiety. In this episode we explore:

  • How the need for certainty in her decisions fueled her relationship anxiety
  • The struggle of knowing if it is anxiety or intuition and how to navigate
  • Moving from black and white thinking to accepting things can be “both, and”
  • Ways she works with her anxiety (not against it) as it shows up

If you've ever felt stuck in patterns of doubt, fear, or overthinking in your relationship, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone—and that growth is possible.

Mentioned in the episode:

 The Wisdom of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul 

“Is it Anxiety or Intuition?” Webinar
