TB9, S13, E15: Mental Performance Coach Rachel Blogg -- Anxiety You Never Saw Coming
About this episode
Rachel Blogg discusses the unexpected onset of anxiety in midlife and its various disguises.
You spend most of your life thinking anxiety is something other people struggle with. Then one day, in midlife, suddenly…it's you. On this episode of The Back 9, licensed psychotherapist and mental performance coach Rachel Blogg explains why so many of us are caught off guard. Anxiety disguises itself as overthinking, overworking, sleeplessness, the need to control everything, or the nagging feeling that something is wrong—even when life looks pretty good from the outside. We talk about why midlife is the perfect storm for anxiety, and how injuries, parenting adult children, and shifting identities can sneak up and overwhelm us, and why former athletes and high achievers often struggle the most. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "Why am I suddenly feeling this way?" We've got the conversation for you…on the Back 9.
