Episode 396. The three crucial relationships of women and anxiety causing you emotional chaos

Anxiety and women have gone hand in hand for many years. And the prevalence has never been higher.

Women and anxiety are often used in the same sentence. But most don't recognize the root of anxiety, nor the influence it has on day-to-day life, especially as mothers and women in leadership roles.

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is an abnormal sense of apprehension and fear that is often marked by physical signs and symptoms.

When someone is anxious, they doubt that they will be able to cope with a situation or person. Doubt often leads to overreacting and emotional chaos. Overreacting disrupts stability within the family and influences the emotional state of others. Frequently, anxiety creates a vicious cycle.
