🎙 Episode Summary

In this episode of The Anxiety Chicks Podcast, we dive into the unique anxiety that can arise as December approaches. The end of the year often brings a mix of reflection, worry, and pressure to achieve last-minute goals, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a cycle of self-criticism. Together, we explore why this happens and how to approach the year-end countdown with kindness, self-compassion, and a focus on progress over perfection.

💡 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why the end of the year feels like an emotional deadline for many.


• How to reframe reflection so it feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

• Practical tips to celebrate what you have accomplished this year, instead of focusing on what you didn’t get to.
