If anxiety were an ice cream shop, it wouldn’t just be chocolate and vanilla — it would have hundreds of flavours. Some familiar, some surprising, and some so unusual you almost wouldn’t believe they exist… until you realize someone, somewhere, lives with them every single day.

In this episode of Grow with the Flo, I explore the many “flavours” of anxiety — from the well-known ones like social or performance anxiety, to the less-talked-about fears like toilet anxiety, fear of forgetting to breathe, or even fear of swallowing your tongue. I share personal experiences, stories from friends, and insights from psychology and philosophy.

You’ll learn why these anxieties — no matter how unusual they seem — are never silly, always valid, and what they all share at their core.

Journaling Prompts:

• What story does it tell you? And is that story really true?

• How does your body react — can you notice the patterns?

• What would one small act of courage look like against that fear?
