27 | Anxiety Lied to You. Here’s How to Fight Back.

Anxiety lied to you. It told you that you’re weak, that you can’t handle it, that you’ll never be enough. But here’s the truth: every anxious moment is a fight — and courage is your way to swing back.

In this powerful episode of Block Out the Noise, Jessica Davis (licensed therapist and creator of the C.O.U.R.A.G.E. Method) takes you inside the ring where anxiety tries to keep you stuck. Through story, metaphor, and real-life examples, she’ll show you why courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about swinging anyway.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why anxiety feels like a fight against yourself (and how to start winning)
• The hidden cost of letting fear call the shots
• How courage grows every time you take action — no matter how small
• Inspiring lessons from Emma Stone, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan on pushing through fear
• A practical way to start building your own “punches” of courage right now

If you’ve ever felt stuck, defeated, or tired of letting anxiety run the show, this episode is your wake-up call. Step into the ring, grab your courage, and fight back.
