178: When “Doing All the Right Things” Still Doesn’t Work: How Self-Compassion and Acceptance Change the Game

Are you constantly trying to “fix” yourself in order to feel less anxious? What if the key to healing isn’t about fixing anything—but about accepting who you are right now?

In this week’s episode of A Healthy Push, I’m joined by licensed therapist turned coach, Mollie Birney, and we’re diving deep into the powerful role self-acceptance plays in anxiety recovery.

We talk about why embracing your current reality—rather than fighting it—can actually reduce shame, ease anxiety, and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. This episode is packed with real talk, mindset shifts, and practical tips to help you start accepting yourself (yes, even the anxious parts!).

✨ Tune in to learn:

  • Why self-acceptance is essential for healing
  • How to stop fighting where you are in your journey
  • Ways to ease anxiety by showing yourself more compassion

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re doing everything but getting better, this conversation is for you.
