Your anxious brain might be loud… but that doesn’t make it right. 💭🧠⁠
⁠
OCD and anxiety have a way of convincing us that if we feel something deeply—guilt, fear, urgency—it must be true. But feelings aren’t facts. And you don’t have to treat them like they are.⁠
⁠
Instead of spiraling into fixing, avoiding, or proving… try gently noticing:⁠
✨ “This is a feeling, not a fact.”⁠
✨ “This is a story my brain is telling me.”⁠
⁠
You don’t have to believe everything you think. Especially when your mind is on high alert.⁠
⁠
Which of these ‘feels true’ thoughts shows up for you the most? You’re not alone—share it below. 👇⁠

Healing from perinatal OCD doesn’t happen overnight — it happens one gentle, values-based step at a time.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in checking, worrying, or “just-right” rituals, this mini starter kit is for you. Each small action is a way of saying: “I’m choosing courage over certainty.”

Whether it’s delaying a compulsion, holding your baby through the discomfort, or reminding yourself “maybe, maybe not — and that’s okay,” these moments matter more than you think.

When you’re struggling with anxiety, OCD, or fear—it’s easy to turn against yourself. ⁠
⁠
You might think, “I should be handling this better.” But healing doesn’t come from self-criticism… it grows from self-compassion. 🌱⁠
⁠
Being kind to yourself isn’t letting yourself off the hook—it’s choosing to meet your suffering with care instead of punishment. ⁠
⁠
The truth is, kindness helps you stay steady long enough to face what feels hard.❤️⁠

Scary thoughts can feel so loud… especially when we fight with them. The more we push them away, the more powerful they seem.⁠
⁠
But here’s the gentle truth ✨ — thoughts lose their grip when we stop judging them and allow them to simply pass through. Like clouds in the sky ☁️… they come, they go, and they don’t have to define your day.⁠
⁠
With practice, this shift from resistance to acceptance can bring so much relief and freedom. 🌱⁠
⁠
How do you remind yourself to let thoughts come and go without judgment?⁠

Ever had a thought hijack your entire day?⁠
One minute you're fine… the next, you're spiraling through fear, self-doubt, and endless what-ifs.⁠
⁠
Here’s the truth:⁠
Not every thought deserves your energy.⁠
Not every feeling is a red flag.⁠
And you don’t have to react just because your brain is loud.⁠
⁠
In a previous episode on the podcast, we're dove into what it really means to notice your thoughts without letting them run the show—and how a few small shifts can help you stay calm, clear, and connected to what matters most.⁠
⁠

⁠
•How to respond to thoughts without spiraling⁠

Your anxious brain is trying to protect you.⁠
But your compassionate brain is trying to heal you. ❤️⁠
⁠
OCD and anxiety often speak in absolutes—loud, urgent, and fear-based. But there’s another voice available to you… one that’s quieter, kinder, and grounded in truth. 🌿⁠
⁠
🧠 You might not always feel the compassionate voice right away—and that’s okay. With time, it becomes easier to hear.⁠
⁠
Bit by bit, you’ll learn to respond to anxiety with gentleness instead of urgency. That’s the path to healing.💕⁠

Ever notice how your anxiety spikes around certain people — even when you know you’re safe? 💭
That’s not you being “too sensitive.” It’s your brain trying to protect you.

Sometimes it’s because of past hurt, sometimes insecurities get touched, and other times it’s those tricky boundary struggles that make your body sound the alarm. 🚨

This week on Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast, I’m sharing why your brain reacts this way — and how to calm your anxiety without losing your peace or blaming yourself. 💛

Intrusive thoughts love to trick us into thinking we have to fix them, solve them, or make them go away right now. But the truth is… you don’t. 💭✨⁠
⁠
You can notice the thought without panic. You can feel uncertainty without needing to fix it. You can keep going—even when anxiety is tagging along for the ride. ❤️⁠
⁠
This is a skill, not a quick fix. And the more you practice, the more empowered you’ll feel.💫⁠
⁠
Be gentle with yourself. You're doing brave work just by showing up.💕⁠
⁠

Anxiety is hard enough on its own. But have you noticed how quickly it can snowball when we add judgment, criticism, or shame on top? 🧠💭⁠
⁠
It often starts with a single uncomfortable sensation…⁠
Then the mind chimes in with:⁠
👉 “What’s wrong with me?”⁠
👉 “Why can’t I handle this better?”⁠
👉 “I shouldn’t feel this way.”⁠
⁠
Suddenly, you’re not just feeling anxious—you’re battling your own inner critic too. 💥⁠
⁠
Here’s the truth: You don’t have to like anxiety to practice accepting it. But the more we can meet it with compassion instead of judgment, the less power it holds. ❤️⁠
⁠
Your job isn’t to erase anxiety—it’s to stop stacking it.⁠
⁠
Tell me: What do you tend to add to your anxiety? Let’s talk about it in the comments.⁠

Anxiety can be so tricky, especially when your mind feels like it’s running a marathon you never signed up for 🏃‍♂️💨. But did you know that Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) work very differently?⁠
⁠
🌀 GAD is like an endless loop of worry—jumping from one concern to another.⁠
🔄 OCD brings intrusive, sticky thoughts that feel out of place, leading to compulsions for relief.⁠
⁠
No matter what you're experiencing, please know: You are not broken. You are not alone. And recovery is 100% possible! 🙌⁠
⁠
Have you ever wondered if your anxiety is GAD or OCD? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear from you! ⁠

Have you ever felt stuck in this loop? ⁠
⁠
Anxiety tells you there’s danger when there isn’t. Your brain screams, “Fix this!”—so you avoid, seek reassurance, or do compulsions to feel better. And for a moment… ahh, relief! 😌 ⁠
⁠
But guess what? That short-term comfort actually strengthens anxiety in the long run.⁠
⁠
👉 The good news? You can break the cycle!⁠
⁠
Facing anxiety without avoiding or doing compulsions teaches your brain that discomfort isn’t dangerous. This is how you build resilience and freedom! 🌱💪⁠
⁠
Have you ever caught yourself in this loop? ⁠

Ever feel that pit in your stomach when you see headlines about floods, fires, or rising temperatures? 🌎💔

That feeling has a name — climate anxiety — and it doesn’t mean you’re overreacting. It means you care deeply.

The key isn’t to get rid of the anxiety… it’s to turn it into action that feels empowering instead of overwhelming. 🌿✨

💡 Start small.
💬 Connect with others who care too.
🌱 Focus on what’s working, not just what’s broken.

When you act from compassion (not fear), you begin to see that your efforts really do matter — because they do. 💚
On this week’s podcast episode, we explore how to move from doom to empowered action together. 🎧
