What if the thing that makes you look like you have it all together is actually the thing keeping you dysregulated?

In this episode of Two Anxious Girls, we’re talking about high-functioning anxiety- the kind that hides behind productivity, overachievement, and constantly saying “I’m fine.” The kind that looks impressive on the outside but feels exhausting on the inside.

We unpack how busyness can become a coping mechanism, why “having it together” is so socially rewarded, and how anxiety doesn’t always look like falling apart; it can look like never slowing down. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, relied on being productive to feel okay, or wondered whether you’re driven or just anxious… this episode is for you.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about naming what’s already there and realizing you’re not alone.

In our very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves, how Two Anxious Girls came to be, and why two licensed clinical social workers still very much live with anxiety. We talk about motherhood, fertility, relationships, mental health, and the real-life stuff we don’t always say out loud. We also share what’s coming next, what to expect from future episodes, honest conversations, and plenty of nervous laughter.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?” this podcast is for you.
