If you’ve ever felt like anxiety is running your life, this episode is for you. We’re joined by Kimberly Quinlan, a licensed therapist, anxiety expert, and host of Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast—recognized by The New York Times as one of the top six podcasts to calm your anxious mind. In this conversation, Kimberly breaks down the biggest myths about anxiety, the difference between stress and clinical anxiety, and why your reaction to emotions (not the emotions themselves) might be the real issue. She also shares practical, science-backed strategies for managing anxiety in daily life, how self-criticism fuels anxiety, and why self-kindness is actually a secret weapon for motivation and success. Plus, we talk about the role of social media, perfectionism, and uncertainty in anxiety. If you’ve been looking for real tools to stop overthinking, calm your anxious mind, and take back control, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
