Do you ever feel like your anxiety is running the show—making even small decisions feel overwhelming, and leaving you stuck in your head replaying everything?
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
Welcome to Block Out the Noise—the go-to podcast for teens and young adults who want to quiet the mental chaos of anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking and finally feel confident enough to take action, make decisions, and celebrate their growth.
Each week, licensed therapist and mindset coach Jessica Davis shares practical tools, relatable stories, and empowering mindset shifts using her signature C.O.U.R.A.G.E. Method to help you stop letting fear and perfectionism hold you back.
This isn’t just about managing anxiety.
It’s about helping you:
- Feel more in control of your thoughts
- Build real confidence (even when you're second-guessing yourself)
- Stop beating yourself up for every little mistake
- And finally trust yourself and your progress
