When Is Anxiety More Than Just Stress? | Maxine Giron, MA, RPsy | Life Loading Podcast

We all experience moments of worry, fear, and uncertainty—but when does anxiety become something more than a normal response to life? In this episode, we sit down with Maxine Giron, a licensed Psychologist in the Philippines and a registered Substance Abuse Counselor at the California Drug Treatment Program (CADTP), to slow down and look at anxiety beyond the label. We talk about what anxiety really is, how it shows up in our thoughts and bodies, and the difference between healthy anxiety that helps us respond to life and unhealthy anxiety that begins to hold us back. Because sometimes, understanding what we're feeling is the first step toward knowing when we need to pause, ask for help, and take better care of ourselves. 🧠🎙️ __ We all see life through different perspectives, and Life Loading is our way of sharing stories and conversations that help fill in those gaps. The practical things, the emotional things, and the questions we’re all quietly trying to figure out.
