In this conversation, Dr. B sits down with Amy Jackson, founder and CEO of Talesplash, to address the heavy, silent burden of carrying high-functioning anxiety while building a successful career and family. So many of us are experts at "white-knuckling" through high-pressure days, only to have the emotional weight catch up with us the moment we slow down.
Together, Dr. B and Amy explore how generational patterns of anxiety shape our adulthood, why childhood worries often follow us into parenthood, and how attempting to suppress fear only fuels emotional burnout. This episode offers practical tools for stepping out of the "freeze" response, finding internal strength, and reframing your relationship with anxiety.

- Unpacking High-Functioning Anxiety: Moving beyond "white-knuckling" through daily stress
- Breaking Generational Cycles: How childhood anxiety manifests in adult roles and parenting
- Overcoming the "Freeze" Response: Practical steps to regulate your nervous system
