Hi I’m Anxious - Over-functioning, anxiety management, high achieving women, anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism
Welcome to “Hi I’m Anxious.” Are you an over-functioning, high-achieving, over-thinking perfectionist but an amazing woman who also suffers incessantly with anxiety? You are not alone. Hi I’m Katy Dahl and I am an HR professional, business owner, entrepreneur, wife, and mom and I have suffered from anxiety for what seems like forever. For as long as I can remember, anxiety has been part of my life. It’s the ugly little friend that rears its head at the time that is most inconvenient… when I want to be most present with my family, at the high pressure business meeting, when I am awake in bed at night worrying instead of sleeping. Anxiety has crept into otherwise perfect moments in my life and stolen that joy from me. l I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and I found that there were some tools for managing it. I don’t think I’ll ever be free from anxiety, but now I am equipped to overcome it and enjoy life despite it. Together, on this podcast, we’re going to work through mind management, physical health, and getting the support we need. We’re going to hear from experts, therapists, and psychologists, and we’re going to dive into the tools you can use so you can go from “Hi I’m Anxious” to “Hi I’m way less anxious.” So put down that third cup of coffee, swap it for some lemon water, we’re about to get this thing under control.

Sweet, loveable soul,
It’s hard to love on yourself when you’re constantly pushing yourself so hard.
But you’re on a journey to loving yourself more. And you started by paying attention to when you were pushing yourself beyond a point that was loving.

Beautiful, lovely, worthy soul,
It can be so hard to love yourself, can’t it? Which is wild, because you’re so incredibly loving, and love-able!

Dear soul,
It’s hard to connect with yourself, when you’re so driven for achievement and suffer with anxiety. I know.

In this episode, I’m going to share with you some simple, practical ways you can use grounding and centering, with simple things you can do tucked right into the day-to-day routines you already have in...
Beautiful soul,
One of your greatest desires is for connection with others. BUT, sometimes your high achieving, anxious ways get in the way of that. What gives?!
In order to have genuine connection with others, you first need to find connection with yourself. This is an ongoing process, and can often take a backseat to all of the business that you have in your life.
So, listen in, sweet soul. I want to share with you some imp...
Sweet soul,
Impostor syndrome can show up for anxious high achieving women in so many ways, and I know, sweet soul, how frustrating, painful, and disempowering it can be. And if this is something that resonates with you, you are in for a treat - and some relief - with this episode, because I had the privilege of interviewing my teacher, coach, mentor and friend, Kim Garnett, AKA, Brainy Girl Kim.
Sweet soul,
As high achievers, we tend to put off or delay celebrations and fun in our lives, don’t we? We might make sure that celebrations happen for others, or we do whatever we can to help them have an enjoyable experience, but we tend not to do the same for ourselves.
Well girl, I’ve got your back on this one! In this episode, I’m going to tell you about how you can incorporate plans for celebration, fun, and joy into yo...

Dear sweet soul,
As a high achiever who struggles with anxiety, I bet joy is not something you find much of in your life. You work hard, but tend to put off things that bring you happiness and contentment.
