Episode notes
Anxiety is not a flaw — it’s a future-focused alarm system that can become a learned habit in the brain and body. In this fast, practical episode, Dex breaks down what anxiety really is, why it becomes chronic, and the hidden loops that keep it alive. You’ll learn why logic alone can’t switch it off, what makes it addictive, and how early environments shape your threat response. Most importantly, discover simple, real-time ways to calm your nervous system, regain sovereignty, and retrain your brain for safety, connection, and grounded leadership — at work and at home.
