The Anxiety Party by The Neuro Babe

In this episode, Kerry covers how your nervous system controls your relationship with money. Your nervous system doesn't just run your anxiety, your thoughts, and your physical symptoms. It also decides how much money you're comfortable holding, the kind of relationships you allow yourself to have, and how big you let your life get. Kerry shares her own money story to walk through exactly how this...

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I've been feeling a little better lately, so maybe I don't need to do anything about this" — this episode was made for you. Kerry is back with a quick solo episode (recorded right before sprinting off to watch the World Cup — no spoilers) and she's dropping something that might completely shift how you've been thinking about your own healing. Here's what s...

If you are constantly scanning your body, monitoring every sensation, and quietly terrified of what might be going on inside you, this episode will be a game changer. Body hypervigilance is one of the most exhausting sides of anxiety. The constant background scanner. The 24/7 loop of: does something feel wrong, is this getting worse, can I trust my body? And here is the thing nobody is talking abo...

Episode Description: What if your anxiety, burnout, and mystery symptoms weren't signs that something is wrong with you, but signs that your nervous system is ready for more? In this episode, Kerry breaks down the five signs your nervous system is trying to get your attention and what it's actually asking you to do about it. Because anxiety was never the villain. It's the bouncer standing in front...

High-functioning survival mode is still survival mode. In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry shares the truth most high-achieving women don't want to hear: just because you're getting everything done doesn't mean your nervous system is okay. If you're successful on paper but secretly exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or dealing with chronic symptoms that won't go away, th...

If you've ever blacked out mid-presentation, spiral-texted someone at midnight, hyperventilated thinking you're dying, or convinced yourself someone's bad mood meant the relationship was over...this episode is for you. Kerry's pulling back the curtain on her panic party era: the hyperventilating on Grandfather Mountain, the Zoom workshop she clicked out of mid-panic attack, the rapid-fire texts sh...

You were doing so well. Making progress. Feeling better. Riding the high. And then one thing happened. A bad day. A physical symptom. A moment of anxiety you thought was behind you. And suddenly your brain is telling you that you were never healing in the first place. That you shouldn't have gotten your hopes up. That this is just who you are. This episode is about why that happens. And why it is...

If you've been calling yourself a people pleaser for years, this episode is going to change everything. Because people-pleasing isn't your personality. It's not who you are. It's a survival strategy your nervous system learned when you were young. And that distinction changes everything about how you heal it. In this episode, Kerry breaks down exactly why you say yes when you mean no, why setting...

If you've ever had a thought come completely out of nowhere and make you go — wait, WHAT was that, am I okay — this episode is for you. We're talking about intrusive thoughts. Not the "ugh I'm a little worried" kind. The vivid, intense, out-of-nowhere kind. The ones that scare you. The ones that make you wonder if something is wrong with you. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, Ke...

If you've been living with health anxiety, you already know the exhaustion of it — the constant body scanning, the symptom spiraling, the hypervigilance that never, ever turns off. In this episode, Kerry gets real about health anxiety: why so many high-achieving women develop it, the mistakes she made trying to fix it (including the one that kept her stuck the longest), and what actually finally w...

Today I'm sitting down with Taylor Lechner, registered dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor, who specializes in helping women have a smooth transition off birth control and heal their hormone symptoms naturally using a functional, root-cause approach. And yes, she is...

If you've tried everything for your anxiety and you're still not healing, there's a good chance you're missing this piece (and it has nothing to do with finding the right therapy or the right supplement). It's boundaries. And no, not just "saying no more." The kind of boundaries that run so much deeper than that. In this episode, Kerry breaks down why it is literally impossible to heal your anxiet...

You've seen the doctors. You've done the protocols. You've taken the supplements, run the tests, gotten the referrals, and you still don't feel like yourself. Your body isn't broken. It's in survival mode. And a body in survival mode cannot heal. Not because it doesn't want to, because it literally cannot prioritize healing when it believes there's a threat. In this episode, Kerry breaks down exac...

In this episode of The Anxiety Party , Kerry breaks down the real reason anxious thoughts, overthinking, and intrusive spirals happen, and why they often feel impossible to control.

In this episode of The Anxiety Party , I share a personal story of losing my cat of 18 years, and use it to unpack a powerful but overlooked connection: How grief and unprocessed emotions contribute to anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic physical symptoms. If you are a high-achieving woman who feels stuck in survival mode, constantly anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or dealing with...

In today’s Nervous System Notes episode, Kerry explores a question most high-achieving women don’t realize they’re avoiding: Who am I outside of anxiety? We talk about why anxiety isn’t just a symptom — it often becomes an identity. If you’ve spent years making decisions based on fear, people-pleasing, overthinking, and trying not to upset anyone, anxiety may have been the thing steering your life...

In this episode of The Anxiety Party , Kerry breaks down what nervous system dysregulation actually means and why trauma, both big and small, is the root of chronic anxiety. She explains how your autonomic nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger, how past experiences get stored in “files,” and why certain sounds, tones, situations, or dynamics can trigger fight-or-flight or shutdown e...

In this episode of The Anxiety Party , I share what my life actually felt like when I identified as “unhealed.” Before I understood nervous system regulation. Before I shifted my identity. Before anxiety stopped running my internal world. I walk through the real experience of living in chronic survival mode while still appearing high-functioning. The obsessive thoughts, the body hypervigilance, th...

Many high-achieving women live with anxiety, burnout, or chronic symptoms while still functioning at a high level. They’re productive, capable, and getting everything done, but their nervous system is stuck in survival mode . In this episode, Kerry explains why being high-functioning is often mistaken for being regulated, and why anxiety, fatigue, overwhelm, and physical symptoms don’t resolve unt...

In this episode, Kerry breaks down why anxiety isn’t the real problem and why managing it has never been enough. Through her own story, she shares how a dysregulated nervous system and survival-based identity keep high-achieving women stuck, anxious, and burned out, even when they’re doing everything “right.” This is a conversation about nervous system truth, identity, and what actually changes wh...

Welcome to The Anxiety Party Podcast , the space where high-achieving women stop managing anxiety and start dismantling the identity behind it. This isn’t another self-help show telling you to breathe through your breakdown. It’s the conversation that happens when you’re with your people, the ones who get it, and someone finally says the thing no one else will. The talk that starts light but gets...
