Calmly Coping is the go-to podcast for high-achieving professionals who look like they have it all together—but inside, they’re overthinking, self-doubting, and feeling the weight of constant pressure.
I’m Tati Garcia, a licensed therapist and coach specializing in high-functioning anxiety. I help ambitious professionals break free from the cycle of overworking, overthinking, and never feeling good enough, so you can cultivate confidence, balance, and peace—without sacrificing success.
If you struggle with:
✔ Overanalyzing everything and second-guessing yourself
✔ Feeling stuck in busyness but unsure how to slow down
✔ Putting immense pressure on yourself to always do more
✔ Trouble relaxing, switching off, or setting boundaries
✔ Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and fear of failure
Then you’re in the right place.
Each bite-sized, evidence-based episode is designed to help you manage anxiety, improve focus and performance, communicate more confidently, and build the inner calm you crave.
