The Kinda Anxious Podcast: Recent Episodes
Seo Choe
I'm like, really anxious about creating a podcast lol. Do you laugh at your anxiety? Well, you should. It sucks, it's stressful but it's not going anywhere - you might as well learn to cope with it. I'm no doctor but I know that anxious people have to work harder to get the same things done. I'm here to share how I'm managing it - I'm sarcastic, I'm awkward, and everything makes me uncomfortable but hey, I'm working on it!

It's a big chunk of our life that for some reason, we rarely ever talk about.

I love my family. Why do I get to have an amazing family and others don't?

A loaded question that seems to float through my head every time I'm stressed or anxious...
I think it's okay to think about every once in a while but if its constant, there might be something bigger going on.

I am thinking.... about something I did in a different decade. I wonder if as you get older, those things fade or the same scenes continue to replay forever. Anxious girlies know this one - we cannot get over some things that we've been through. Maybe we imagine doing something differently, or maybe it keeps us up at night. Let us find some peace!!!!

Why do we hate our own bodies, our own faces? It almost seems naturally to be picky about the way we look. But my grandmother would always say I'm beautiful. And sometimes I like the way I smile in pictures. It goes back and forth so much that I get so conflicted.
Take care of yourself. Be kind to your reflection.

Money makes the world go 'round -- apparently. There's so much pressure now to girlboss with luxury bags and fancy vacations. How do we maintain our sanity? It's a delicate balance.
Love y'all. Hope 2023 is treating you well.

for some reason, everyone is good at setting but not accomplishing goals. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU: you can do both. Let me help you. Take it one step at a time, anxious gorlie.
2023 is going to look better. I'm going to upload more episodes. I'm verbalizing it now so that I get myself to do it.

Oh no! Women putting down other women? It's like Megan Fox in Transformers - she's hot, she can fix cars, she is in love with Shia Lebouf for some reason. She's not real. Her character has no personality.
Tropes like these can have such a lasting impact on people who are still learning about who they are and how to take care of themselves. Am I the only one who grew up trying to be someone else? There's no way! I see so many TikToks about this!
Happy holidays my friends!
Friendships are so important to everyone - regardless of whether they are anxious. I've been working on building up my friendships and giving people the support + space they need.

I DID IT YALL - I got a new job! Thankful for the support that I've felt through the interview process. I'm giving it forward by talking about how I've been coping through it, to minimize my anxiousness.
Remember that you're smarter/tougher/bigger than your anxiety.

Ok my favorite Trader Joe items are:
Macrons. Lobster ravioli. Chicken salad. Lemon squares.
I'm trying to keep myself sane when I go because it can be really stressful - but its a chore that we can't avoid! Don't worry, you got this!
Something that is supposed to be so full of love and excitement turns sour because of... my own thoughts?!?? A classic story for me.
Been all over the place lately. American Corporate life feels like a lot. I can't believe so many people do this for so many years until they finally retire! Crazy!
Anyways, this is a total rant which is crazy.
It's hot (anxious) gorl summer. Are you keeping up with your physical health? Are you working out? Listen, it's tough because working out adds like 30 new anxieties. This episode I'll touch on - how to get excited to work out, why your physical body impacts your mental body, and what I've been doing to keep my body moving.
It's been a while yall and I'm happy to be back! I'm trying to be more consistent moving forward!

I love travel and by far the worst part for me is flying. If I could have any super power, I would like to be able to teleport to places. Go from NYC to Seoul in a second? Would love that! Flights are a plethora of anxiousness - from TSA to baggage claim to Spirit airlines... there's a lot to uncover in this episode. But don't worry - I've been on literally hundreds of flights in the last 5 years and got some tips for you.
I'm posting this while procrastinating buying a new purse. But hey, the inspiration for these episodes have to come from somewhere right? Listen, you made some money, go use that money. I'm not saying that you should buy a LV instead of paying rent. But if you can, you earned it!!!! I'm proud of u gorl!!!
I hate FOMO. My parents used to tell me that it's a problem with social media and while social media does play a big role, it's also a part of life and growing up. I'm in my 20s and I aggressively struggle with wanting to be at the center of the action all the time! I'm working to make sure that my anxiety doesn't make it worse. It stems from a limited mindset and while it may not ever fully go away, we can work on minimize it!
Competitiveness is a good thing is some cases... but it's dangerous in others. For anxious people, it can be fuel for a never-ending fire! I'm a big victim to competition and it brought out the worst in me. I'm working on fixing it and making amends - changing the way I think about the choices I make!
Alcohol changes you - whether that's for the better or worse. I've gone back and forth about whether I like alcohol. Fruity drinks, lowered inhibitions, & blending in with friends? Sign me up!!! Or wait... I also vomit, turn red, and charge massive amounts on my credit card. It's a mix and I know that alcohol can make anxiety a lot worse. I'm working on it. Maybe it's something we should all be thinking about a little more.
Birthdays, holidays, special occasions... you gotta give a gift. But how do you choose? And what if they hate it? And what if this gift ends our entire friendship?
Alright chill. You got this. This episode is where I talk about how I choose my gifts and how I remain calm. Try not to think too hard about it lol
Ok this episode is unhinged. I recently caught Covid and I decided this is the perfect time to record a messy podcast episode!
Anxious people like to plan ahead or like to anticipate things. Sick days ruin everything that you planned. At least, it does for me. Here are some thoughts I've been having about how to reduce my anxiety when I'm feeling ill.
New York MTA has been a mess, recently and ... pretty much always. It's hard to feel safe in public as it is and now with more chaos, anxiety seems to be on HIGH ALERT. Here are a couple thoughts I've been having on feeling safe, reducing my panic, and doing what I can.
It's the tasks.... that clutter up my day. They build up. I have dishes in the sink, my hair is oily, and I have no food for dinner. It's overwhelming, I know. Let's talk about some things to find the energy to do them! Everyone struggles with it. Don't be hard on yourself!
DM me & let's talk! @hellosjc
A short and sweet introduction to me, your host, and what this podcast is about. I'm not here to talk nonsense, I'm here to talk ~with purpose~, okay?
