Summary

Whether it’s 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it’s running your life. That’s why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again. I’m answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I’ll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn’t make you broken. This isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter. 🎧What You’ll Learn: The truth about 3AM anxiety and how to prevent middle-of-the-night spirals Why “just do exposure therapy” might be doing more harm than good How to support someone with anxiety without losing yourself in the process The real reason you might feel stuck in therapy—and how to get unstuck OCD, panic, phobias & overthinking: practical tools I use (and avoid) daily Why hunting for triggers can backfire—and what to focus on instead Anxiety and self-blame: how to soften your inner voice 👇Let me know in the comments: What’s one tool from this episode you’re going to try?

0:00.0	If you deal with anxiety, the first thing that I want you to know is you are not alone.
0:04.9	Literally, right now, you are not alone.
0:07.2	I have been dealing with a ton of anxiety lately, and I figured what better time to check in with
0:12.0	you guys to answer some of your biggest questions about anxiety and to share all of the
0:16.3	tools that I find most helpful.
0:18.1	Whether you are personally dealing with anxiety or you just want to
0:21.4	better understand someone in your life who is, this episode will be full of tips and tricks and
0:26.9	insights. Welcome to the Liz Moody podcast where we share science-back tools and tips to empower
0:32.2	you to live your best life, but we do in a way that's fun, that makes space for vulnerability
0:36.8	and the realities

1:25.8	We just moved into a new house, which is amazing. If you
1:29.4	have been around for a while, you know that Zach and I gave up our last house in a mess of grief.
1:34.2	And then we spent almost six months just kind of unmoored without a place to call home, which was
