How to Calm the Hell Down Without Meds, Diets, or 5 AM Bootcamps with Danita Young | EU 277
Description
If you've ever Googled "how to stop spiraling" while eating trail mix with one hand and texting your teen's principal with the other—this episode is for you.
I sat down with Danita Young, a transformation coach and 20-year health expert who is not here for the hustle culture, fake positivity, or diets that leave you eating air and regret. She's flipping the script on everything we think we know about anxiety, weight loss, and control—and sis, you're going to want to take notes.
"Anxiety is your bodyguard. It's not trying to ruin your life—it's trying to keep you alive." — Danita Young
According to Danita, most of us are walking around with our nervous system in full DEFCON 1. That means we're stuck in fight, flight, or freeze—not because we're broken, but because our survival brain is running the show.
Here's what blew my mind: anxiety doesn't show up to mess with us. It shows up because it thinks we're in danger. And whether that danger is a toxic relationship, the fear of launching a business, or just the toddler's silence (you knowsomething's up)—your body sees it all as a threat.
Instead of fighting your anxiety, Danita suggests you actually talk to it. Yep, like a weirdo. (A weirdo who gets results.)
Let's dive into what she said that blew my mind—and might just reset yours.
