But what if your anxiety wasn't trying to hurt you? What if it was actually trying to protect you? In today's episode, Celeste flips the script on anxiety completely — and helps you understand what's underneath it, what it's guarding, and why making peace with it changes everything about how you move through it. If you've been at war with your anxiety, this one is going to shift how you see it entirely. Today's shift: Ask your anxiety one honest question today — what are you trying to protect me from?
