S1.E2 - Let's get Physical, Physical...about Anxiety

 Is it anxiety, or am I actually dying? In this episode of My Brain Está Spicy, Melisa and Christy dive into the weird, annoying, and downright inconvenient ways anxiety shows up in their bodies—like racing heartbeats, surprise sweat fests, and that oh-so-fun feeling of your lungs suddenly forgetting how to work.

Melisa shares her journey of learning to recognize anxiety symptoms, from unexpected bouts of anger to hyperventilating at Sam’s Club, while Christy gets real about her long battle with health anxiety and the delightful game of “Do I have a brain tumor, or am I just dehydrated?”

Along the way, they sprinkle in plenty of humor, real talk, and their best coping strategies—because if we’re going to have spicy brains, we might as well learn to season them right. Plus, they share their favorite anxiety hacks, including breathing techniques, body shaking (yes, really), and the magic of carrying rubbing alcohol wipes just in case.

Tune in for laughs, realness, and some practical tips to make your brain just a little less spicy. 🔥
