Then we get into why your body treats an unread email like an emergency, where that sense of urgency actually comes from, and t...

In this episode of Back to You , Anne explains self-abandonment in the way most high-achieving women actually experience it: not as one dramatic life collapse, but as the tiny everyday moments where you override what you need, choose what feels easier, and then wonder why you don’t trust yourself to follow through.
