5 Signs Your Anxiety is a Problem (and you actually need to do something about it)
Welcome to the Joyful Mom Podcast!
Megan speaks directly to the reality so many moms are quietly living with: chronic anxiety that has slowly become normalized. She shares why the anxiety and mental health crisis is far bigger than statistics can capture and explains how many women learn to “cope” by avoiding triggers—without realizing how much anxiety is still controlling their lives. Megan opens up about her own journey, including a personal breakthrough that showed her healing doesn’t always require forcing yourself through fear, but changing what’s happening in your brain.
Megan then walks through five clear signs that anxiety or trauma needs to be addressed, not ignored. These include withdrawing from life and staying home, unintentionally passing anxiety on to your kids, controlling others to manage your own fear, frequent ER or doctor visits with no medical answers, and a mind that constantly loops on perceived threats. With compassion and honesty, she explains how anxiety can quietly take the driver’s seat of family life—and why that’s not something you have to accept as “just how it is.”
This episode is both a loving wake-up call and a message of hope. Megan reminds listeners that anxiety is not a life sentence, that healing is possible, and that peace doesn’t have to feel so hard to reach. If you recognize even one of these signs in yourself, she encourages you to take action—not just for your kids or your family, but for you. You deserve a life with more ease, clarity, and freedom, and this episode points you toward the next step to get there.
