About this episode

The APP has arrived! https://studio.com/apps/rebecca

If you like the podcast, you will love the Everyday Calm app. It is a daily program that teaches simple skills to reduce stress and anxiety in a few minutes a day. GET IT!

If your inner critic runs the show, no amount of “positive thinking” will calm your nervous system.

Why do self-critical thoughts keep your brain in stress mode, even when you’re trying to think your way to calm? In this episode, you’ll learn how to interrupt the mental pattern that fuels anxiety and start retraining your mind for balance instead of burnout.

Imagine being able to notice a harsh thought without spiraling, and shift into clarity in seconds. That’s what this episode will help you practice, a therapy-informed approach to build self-trust, mental calm, and resilience.
