Hi I’m Anxious - Over-functioning, anxiety management, high achieving women, anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism
Welcome to “Hi I’m Anxious.” Are you an over-functioning, high-achieving, over-thinking perfectionist but an amazing woman who also suffers incessantly with anxiety? You are not alone. Hi I’m Katy Dahl and I am an HR professional, business owner, entrepreneur, wife, and mom and I have suffered from anxiety for what seems like forever. For as long as I can remember, anxiety has been part of my life. It’s the ugly little friend that rears its head at the time that is most inconvenient… when I want to be most present with my family, at the high pressure business meeting, when I am awake in bed at night worrying instead of sleeping. Anxiety has crept into otherwise perfect moments in my life and stolen that joy from me. l I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and I found that there were some tools for managing it. I don’t think I’ll ever be free from anxiety, but now I am equipped to overcome it and enjoy life despite it. Together, on this podcast, we’re going to work through mind management, physical health, and getting the support we need. We’re going to hear from experts, therapists, and psychologists, and we’re going to dive into the tools you can use so you can go from “Hi I’m Anxious” to “Hi I’m way less anxious.” So put down that third cup of coffee, swap it for some lemon water, we’re about to get this thing under control.

Sweet, boundaried soul,
Boundaries are everywhere in our lives, and we get to decide on them! That’s the good news! It can be easy to be frustrated with our boundaries, if we take the time to think about them at all.

And in this episode, I’m going to teach you how to recognize boundaries in your own life. So let’s dive in!

Dear soul,
It’s hard to connect with yourself, when you’re so driven for achievement and suffer with anxiety. I know.
In last week’s episode I shared about the importance of connecting with yourself, in order to connect with others.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you some simple, practical ways you can use grounding and centering, with simple things you can do tucked right into the day-to-day routines you already have in place, in order to connect with yourself.

Beautiful soul,
One of your greatest desires is for connection with others. BUT, sometimes your high achieving, anxious ways get in the way of that. What gives?!
In order to have genuine connection with others, you first need to find connection with yourself. This is an ongoing process, and can often take a backseat to all of the business that you have in your life.
So, listen in, sweet soul. I want to share with you some important reasons why you’ll want to prioritize connecting with yourself, so you can connect with others.
Wishing you freedom to live the life you want, despite anxiety,
Katy

Sweet soul,
Impostor syndrome can show up for anxious high achieving women in so many ways, and I know, sweet soul, how frustrating, painful, and disempowering it can be. And if this is something that resonates with you, you are in for a treat - and some relief - with this episode, because I had the privilege of interviewing my teacher, coach, mentor and friend, Kim Garnett, AKA, Brainy Girl Kim.
Kim is the founder of Brainy Girl, and a technology and digital marketing specialist (since 2001) working with novice course creators to help them get visible, grow their audience, and get their courses online. You can learn more about and connect with Kim at brainygirlu.com.
Kim shares about how impostor syndrome shows up for people (think downplaying achievements, perfectionism, comparison… sound familiar?!), AND, she shares strategies she has successfully used to get her to the point where she can recognize and quickly move through impostor syndrome. Kim’s story is mind-blowing, and her presence and energy are simply incredible.
Before you dive in, I want to give you a quick heads-up: this episode contains explicit language. If that’s not your vibe, or if you have little ones around, now might be a good time to pop in some headphones or pick a different episode.
So grab a cup of coffee or your favorite drink, and get ready for an uplifting and insightful conversation. Let’s dive in!
Wishing you freedom to live the life you want, despite anxiety,
Katy
