    🎙️ REPOST: Overcoming OCD & Anxiety for High-Achieving Women – Interview with Erin Davis
    Nov 25 2025

    Had the honor of being a guest on the Pete vs Anxiety Podcast, and I'm thrilled to share this powerful conversation with you! Host Pete and I dive deep into the unique ways OCD shows up for high-achieving women—and why traditional anxiety advice often misses the mark. 💜

    If you've ever been told "it's just stress" when you know it's something more, or if you've struggled for years without getting real help for your intrusive thoughts, this episode will validate your experience and give you hope!

    🎯 What You'll Discover:

    • Why OCD Gets Misdiagnosed: 🔹 The sneaky ways OCD shows up that therapists often miss [00:05:00] 🔸 Why women are told "it's just stress" when it's actually OCD [00:03:00] 🔹 The difference between anxiety and OCD (and why it matters!) [00:08:00]

    • The Narcissism Fear Trap: 🔸 Why thoughtful, kind women worry they're narcissists [00:15:00] 🔹 How OCD attacks what you value most in the sneakiest ways [00:18:00] 🔸 The difference between narcissistic behavior and OCD intrusive thoughts [00:20:00]

    • Real Talk About Treatment: 🔹 Why "Dr. Google" makes OCD worse, not better [00:12:00] 🔸 The exposure therapy approach that actually works [00:25:00] 🔹 How to support someone with OCD (without giving reassurance) [00:35:00]

    💡 Powerful Moments from This Episode:
    • The homeless man analogy that perfectly explains intrusive thoughts [00:22:00]

    Why Sitting Still is So Hard for Perfectionists | Ep 102
    Nov 11 2025

    When was the last time you sat still without your phone, without a to-do list, without feeling guilty? If you're a perfectionist woman, the answer is probably "I can't remember." In this eye-opening video, I reveal why your brain is literally wired to resist rest—and how to rewire it for peace! 💜

    If you find yourself constantly busy, feeling guilty when you're not productive, or unable to relax without anxiety creeping in, this video will help you understand why stillness feels so impossible and what to do about it.

    🎯 What You'll Discover:

    • The Perfectionist Rest Paradox: 🔹 Why your brain treats rest as "wasted time" and how this keeps you exhausted [00:00] 🔹 The neurological reasons perfectionists struggle with stillness [00:29] 🔹 How constant busyness becomes an addiction that's impossible to break [00:29]

    • The Science Behind Perfectionist Restlessness: 🔸 Why rest is actually essential for your mental health and productivity [02:20] 🔸 How perfectionism hijacks your nervous system and prevents true relaxation [02:20] 🔸 The difference between "rest" and actual nervous system regulation [04:44]

    • Practical Strategies for Perfectionist Rest: 🔹 Simple techniques to embrace stillness without guilt [04:44] 🔹 How to rewire your brain to see rest as productive, not lazy [06:28] 🔹 The mindset shifts that make stillness feel safe instead of scary [06:55]

    ⏰ Timestamps:

    00:00 The Challenge of Sitting Still for Perfectionists 00:29 Understanding Perfectionism and Rest Resistance 01:18 How OCD Intensives Helps Women Find Peace 02:20 The Importance of Rest for Mental Health and Productivity 04:44 Practical Tips for Embracing Stillness Without Guilt 06:28 Finding Success in Stillness as a Perfectionist 06:55 Conclusion and Your Next Steps to Rest

    Can't sit still without feeling guilty or anxious? This video gives you a glimpse into the powerful rest and nervous system regulation techniques I teach in my exclusive OCD Intensives program.

    If you're a perfectionist woman who:

    • Feels guilty every time you try to rest

    • Believes rest is "unproductive" or "lazy"
    • Wants to learn how to actually relax without anxiety
