Ep 34: From High-Functioning Anxiety to Fulfillment: Healing through Simplicity
Ever feel like you’re endlessly “fixing” yourself, aiming for perfection as the path to healing? Today’s episode takes you into a powerful conversation with Lauren Polly, who shares her journey from high-functioning anxiety to true fulfillment. Together, we explore why traditional “fix it” mentalities often fall short, the importance of listening to your body’s wisdom, and practical ways to create calm from the inside out.
💫 What to Listen For:
- Why high-functioning anxiety can masquerade as success and how to identify it in your own life.
- The surprising link between trauma responses and perfectionism in daily habits.
- Physical signals—from sweating to shallow breathing—that may indicate nervous system dysregulation.
- Practical steps to create balance over burnout by grounding in your body’s wisdom.
- How to recognize when you’re operating from a place of fear rather than ease.
- The “stop, challenge, choose” method Lauren uses to interrupt anxiety-driven habits.
- Mindset shifts for moving from force to flow and inviting fulfillment naturally.
- Tips for noticing signs of high-stress states in the body and what to do about them.
- Why slowing down feels uncomfortable and how it can be the key to finding creative inspiration.
- Lauren’s experience of redefining success through inner peace rather than external validation.
Today’s conversation with Lauren reveals the path to true fulfillment doesn’t lie in perfectionism but in listening to the body’s subtle signals and embracing simplicity. As you begin to let go of control, you can create space for ease, joy, and a natural flow in your life.
