×First and foremost, cancer is not funny. But sometimes, if we don’t laugh at the situation… we cry. In this episode, Cassandra shares a unique and unexpected moment with a customer who opened up about something deeply personal and incredibly detailed. The conversation left her standing there, somewhere between compassion and confusion, wondering: “Why me? And what do I even say next?” We chat about the real, human side of these moments; why people overshare with strangers, what science says about emotional unloading, and how it feels when you're on the receiving end of someone else’s raw truth All the links: https://linktr.ee/anxietymakesmepoop We are so grateful you’re here.

This one was inspired by a drive to Chicago. Classic traffic chaos. People were weaving in and out of lanes, and it hit me… That’s exactly how anxiety feels. When we emotionally swerve, trying to fix people’s moods, comparing ourselves, taking on too much, we’re disrupting our own goals and thoughts. Just like traffic, that kind of mental zig-zagging creates gridlock. In this episode, I break down: Why staying in your own emotional lane helps reduce overwhelm And how to pause, breathe, and ask: “Is this even my lane?” There’s some real psychology and even traffic science behind it, and yes, it all makes way too much sense.

Let's talk BLAH days. B – Burnout Even if you’re not overwhelmed in the moment, your body could be responding to a buildup of stress, overstimulation, or decision fatigue. BLAH days often show up after you’ve been doing too much for too long. L – Lack of Direction No clear goal, no fire lit under you—just floating. When you're not connected to purpose or routine, it can feel like you're stuck in emotional quicksand. A – Avoidance You might be putting off things that feel heavy—conversations, responsibilities, even basic self-care. The more you avoid, the heavier the fog. H – Hormones / Headspace Let’s be real: Sometimes it’s your cycle. Sometimes it’s your brain chemicals. Sometimes it’s both doing the cha-cha on your serotonin levels. You’re not lazy.

My besties dressed up without me, and I was so mad! Fever dreams are weird. Those bizarre, vivid, often unsettling dreams that happen when you’re sick. We talk about what causes them (hint: your hypothalamus messing with your temperature and sleep cycles), the weird creatures and shifting spaces that show up, and why your brain feels like it’s buffering.

Guilt Trip Trap (say that 5 times in a row! LOL): Ever felt guilty for leaving a party early because someone hit you with a passive-aggressive comment? In this episode, we break down why people react this way - Psychological Reactance, Projection, and FOMO - and how to respond with kindness while holding firm boundaries. We also explore Cortisol’s role in that gut-wrenching guilt and how Neuroplasticity can help us rewire our response over time. Plus, if you’re still feeling guilty from a party years ago, we explain Emotional Conditioning and Anticipatory Anxiety. Setting boundaries is self-care, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation.

Master the Pause – Before you react, take a deep breath. Internally scream if necessary. Say "Okay" – Not engaging is a power move. Blank stare + slow nod = instant de-escalation. Internally Scream – Let it out in your head. Imagine yourself flipping a table… but don’t do it. Externally Scream (Into a Towel) – If you need to release the rage, find a safe space. A towel. A pillow. Your car. Just not at Karen in Accounting. Release the Tension – Shake it off, take a deep breath, or go for the classic bathroom escape move. Smile and Move On – The ultimate flex?

In this episode of Anxiety Makes Me Poop , we break down why breakups and food poisoning are basically the same thing. Both hit out of nowhere, leave you feeling like absolute garbage, and take time to recover. We walk through the stages of a breakup as food poisoning , from that first gut feeling that something’s off to the full-on emotional purge, the miserable recovery phase, and finally, the day you wake up feeling normal again. Then, we dive into how to ‘treat’ a breakup like food poisoning , covering: 🍽️ Purging what’s making you sick (bye, old texts & stalking) 💧 Hydrating & resting (self-care is key) 🍞 Sticking to simple comforts (like emotional saltines & ginger ale) 🚫 Avoiding risky choices (aka rebounds = bad sushi) ✨ Learning from it & moving on (so you don’t get sick again) By the end of this episode, you might be smiling, even realizing they weren’t worth the stomachache.

Rough Cut Recording! Ever feel like certain people thrive on draining your energy, prying into your life, or stirring up drama? Maybe you’ve heard of the Gray Rock Method (Skyler, 2012), and today, I’m introducing something similar - The Fogged Mirror Method. This is all about being unreadable, vague, and emotionally untouchable, plus redirection, so toxic people lose interest and move on. In this episode, we’ll cover: ✅ What the Fogged Mirror Method is and how it works ✅ Real-life examples of how to use it in awkward, toxic, or manipulative situations ✅ Why it frustrates energy-drainers and keeps your peace intact ✅ When to use it and when NOT to If you’re tired of getting pulled into other people’s stress and drama, this episode is for YOU.

What did they say?” 🧍♀️ You: “Nothing special.” 👤 Co-Worker: “You’re no fun.” (Walks away, annoyed.) 💡 Effect: The co-worker loses interest because you’re giving zero emotional engagement. 🌀 Using the Fogged Mirror Method: 👤 Co-Worker: “I heard you had a big meeting with the boss today. What happened?” 😶🌫️ You: “Oh, you know how those meetings go—same old, same old.” 👤 Co-Worker: “Wait, what do you mean? Was it good or bad?” 😶🌫️ You: “It was… interesting. Hard to explain, really.” 👤 Co-Worker: “Okay… I guess.” (Looks confused, changes the subject.) 💡 Effect: The co-worker gets no real info but stays too uncertain to push further. Dealing with a Toxic Family Member Who Wants Drama 🛑 Using the Gray Rock Method: 👤 Toxic Relative: “So, are you STILL dating that person? I never liked them.” 🧍♀️ You: “Yeah.” 👤 Toxic Relative: “I don’t know why you waste your time.” 🧍♀️ You: “Okay.” 👤 Toxic Relative: (Getting annoyed) “Wow, no response?

How to Stop Absorbing Other People’s Stress and Protect Your Energy We’ve all been there - walking into a room and instantly feeling the tension, dealing with a stressed-out coworker, or listening to a friend vent until you feel drained. The truth is, stress is contagious , but you don’t have to absorb it. This episode is about protecting your peace and not letting other people’s chaos take over your mindset. Recognizing When You’re Absorbing Stress The first step is awareness —you can’t change what you don’t notice. If you feel fine one minute and overwhelmed the next, ask yourself: ✅ Did my mood shift because of someone else’s energy? ✅ Am I feeling anxious about something that isn’t even my problem? ✅ Do I feel emotionally drained after being around certain people? If yes, you’re likely absorbing external stress - and it’s time to create some boundaries. Become a member and hear more episodes from Anxiety Makes Me Poop!

Cassandra is here! In this episode, we talk about the fascinating world of poop and explore how the color and shape of your stool can reveal key insights into your digestive health. From healthy, brown logs to the more concerning black or red stool, we cover each variation's causes and potential health implications. Color of Poop: What Does It Mean? Brown: Healthy digestion, thanks to bile from the liver. Green: Quick digestion, or lots of green foods (or green food coloring!). Yellow: Possible malabsorption or too much fat in the diet. Black: Potential upper GI bleeding or iron supplements. Red: Lower GI bleeding or hemorrhoids. White/Clay-colored: Liver or bile duct problems. Shape of Poop: Is It Normal? Sausage-shaped/Log-like: Ideal, well-formed stool—sign of healthy digestion. Soft, smooth: Still good; your body is hydrated and digesting well. Lumpy/Pebble-like: Likely constipation; could be due to dehydration or low fiber. Thin/Pencil-shaped: This could signal a blockage or narrowing in the colon. Watery/Diarrhea-like: Quick digestion, possibly from infection, stress, or certain foods. Stringy/Mushy: Potential digestive issues or malabsorption.

In today’s episode, we explore the world of credit cards, examining their pros and cons and discussing the best ways to use them. The good stuff: Credit cards offer convenience, help build your credit, and come with perks like rewards and fraud protection. Plus, they’re a lifesaver in emergencies (as long as you don’t overdo it!). The downsides: High interest rates, sneaky fees, and the temptation to overspend can quickly turn your credit card into a money monster. And let’s not forget the impact on your credit score if you don’t manage them carefully! Best practices for using credit cards: Pay off your balance in full, keep an eye on spending, use rewards wisely, and understand your card’s terms. Keeping your utilization low and setting alerts are great ways to avoid nasty surprises. Credit cards are a part of life whether you love or loathe them. And if you use them right, they can be a tool for success, not stress! Become a member and hear more episodes from Anxiety Makes Me Poop!

Hear me out! The idea that people don’t cause us to feel mad (or any other emotion) can be a profound realization rooted in emotional intelligence and personal responsibility. Let's talk about how to stay calm, assess each situation, and keep ourselves healthy by not getting mad, sad, or frustrated when people do things we don’t understand. Also, ask yourself all the important questions. By reflecting on questions like, "How can I set boundaries or communicate more clearly to avoid this in the future?", you move from an emotional reaction to thoughtful reflection. This gives you the space to respond in a healthier, more constructive way. This process helps you understand the root of your feelings and guides you toward resolution.

Neither proactive nor reactive planning is inherently negative, but they serve different purposes and are useful in various situations. Active planning is proactive , focusing on anticipating needs, setting long-term goals, and preparing for the future. It helps you stay ahead of potential challenges and create a strategic path forward. Reactive planning is about responding to situations as they happen. It’s all about adaptability and quick problem-solving when the unexpected occurs. Both approaches have their place. Active planning helps you stay organized and reduce stress in the long run, while reactive planning keeps you flexible and ready to handle surprises. The key is knowing when to use each to your advantage!

As mentioned in this episode: The type of person who says, "Well, I heard you talk bad about me, so..." might exhibit traits associated with insecurity, defensiveness, or confrontational behavior. This statement suggests a few potential underlying issues: Insecurity : They might feel insecure about their position or relationships and use this accusation as a way to protect themselves or seek validation Defensiveness : They could be defensive and quick to assume that others are against them, possibly as a result of past experiences or a lack of trust Confrontational Nature : They might have a confrontational or antagonistic personality, often seeking out or creating conflict to assert dominance or control Projection : This person could be projecting their own behavior or feelings onto you, attributing their own negative actions or thoughts to others Such behavior can be challenging to deal with, as it can create a hostile or uncomfortable environment. It's important to address these situations with clear communication, setting boundaries, and seeking support if necessary. Focus on a willingness to overcome and solutions.

Our #1 episode as of 5/18/24. Thank you for all your support! It's easy to forget that everyone has their own battles to fight behind closed doors. What may appear as a perfect facade could be masking a myriad of struggles. From the outside, we often see only what people choose to show us; the smiles, the laughter, the successes. But behind closed doors, there's a whole world of emotions, challenges, and triumphs that remain unseen. It's a reminder to approach each person with empathy and understanding, for we never truly know the depths of their journey.
