Here’s the thing: your perfectionism, people-pleasing, and tendency to compare yourself to others are simply manifestations of your high functioning anxiety.
Despite what you may think or want to believe, your anxiety is not serving you.
It’s time to quiet the critical voice in your head so you can stop white-knuckling through life.
Learn MoreWhat is high functioning anxiety?
On the surface, you are the typical Type-A personality who excels at work and in life.
You are successful, driven, and always appear to be put together and calm.
But deep down, you are filled with worry, insecurity, and self-doubt—desperately trying to juggle all the things and keep all the pieces in place so no one sees your internal anxiety.
The worst part? You believe this constant anxiety and endless worry contribute to your success so you continue to power through no matter what.
But what happens when you’re tired of toughing it out?

What if you finally stopped second-guessing yourself all the time and all of your over-analysis was replaced with an inner knowing that “you’ve got this.”
If you could feel more confident and in control.
If you weren’t looking outside of yourself for input all of the time or comparing your life to others.
