If anxiety has been showing up lately, especially the kind that seems to arrive without a clear reason or a thought you can point to, Sigmar Berg has a different explanation for where it's coming from. He is the founder of Lovetuner and a mindfulness expert who has spent over a decade at the intersection of breath, sound, and nervous system regulation, and his argument is that most of what we experience as anxiety is actually a body problem, starting with the way we breathe.

If you've been catching yourself thinking "I just don't feel like myself" and you can't explain exactly why, there's a real, physiological reason for it. It's not only your hormones, and it's not only because you're stretched impossibly thin, though both matter. 

There's a third factor called interoception: your ability to sense and interpret what's actually happening inside your body. When it goes offline, you lose your sense of self right along with it.

If you are self-aware, emotionally intelligent and still finding yourself people-pleasing or walking on eggshells in your relationship, this episode will help you understand why, without blaming yourself.

Trauma-informed coach and somatic therapist Steffi Seefeld joins me to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel confident and successful on the outside, yet anxious, unseen, or unsure in their relationships.
