Anxiety in Heels: How I Turn Nervous Energy Into Digital Baddie Power

Some days, anxiety feels like that stiletto heel — sharp, unsteady, and always on the edge of tipping me over. But here’s the truth: I’ve learned how to strut through that nerve-wracking tightrope and turn those jitters into my own kind of power.

I’m not gonna lie—being a digital baddie means playing a lot of roles. Sometimes I’m the confident, put-together queen lighting up the Zoom call; other times, I’m that quiet storm beneath the surface, heart pounding like a bassline, mind running a thousand miles an hour. It’s exhausting, but it’s also a fuel. A fuel I refuse to dim.

Anxiety isn’t weakness; it’s awareness wrapped in tension. It’s my body’s way of telling me, “You’re about to level up, brace yourself.” And I’ve flipped the script — I’m not running from that feeling anymore. Instead, I lean in. I let it sharpen my focus, hype my hustle, and remind me that my power is real, even if it feels messy.

When I slip on those heels — metaphorically or literally — it’s a reminder: I’m walking in spite of the fear, owning my space, commanding attention without apology. Nervous energy? Nah, that’s just the rhythm that keeps me moving, grinding, creating.

So to every woman juggling anxiety and ambition: your nerves don’t make you less fierce. They’re just part of your unique brand of magic. Keep stepping, keep shining — the world needs your glow, stiletto wobble and all.
