Do you find yourself staring at your phone, rewriting the same text, checking if they’ve replied, and fighting the urge to send “just one more message”?Maybe you overtext when you feel ignored, rejected, anxious, triggered, or unsure where you stand. You send the paragraph, double text, triple text, ask for reassurance, and then regret it the second you hit send.You’re not alone. And you’re not “too much.” Your nervous system is looking for relief.This podcast is for the overthinkers, the anxious texters, the people who hate waiting for a reply, and anyone who has ever thought, “Why did I send that?”I’ll share practical ways to calm yourself down, regulate those intense emotions, break the urge to text, and create space between the trigger and the message, so you can stop texting from anxiety and start responding from a calmer place.Less chasing. Less overthinking. Less regret. More calm, clarity, and control.⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠
