Ana wrote to me saying that she began having social anxiety two years ago. She said she’s ashamed because she wishes she was strong enough to let this go. She went on to talk about how things are for her, but that first statement alone reveals a lot. She’s ashamed of something that has nothing
Today’s episode is a conversation with Sarie Taylor and her Worldwide Wellbeing Community. When the mind is trying to hold onto some shred of perceived control, it often says something like “we have no control over what shows up, but we do have some control over what we do with it/pay attention to”. But that’s still
In episode 306, Bill Giruzzi shared his experience and the insights he had during a period of extreme anxiety and suicidal depression. In today’s episode, his wife Lisa shares the incredible insights she had during that same time. In so many profound ways, Lisa deeply realized that nothing in life is really up to her. When

Four years ago Bill had a massive brain bleed. Three years ago, he had his first panic attack. A little over two years ago, he was desperate to end his life. Then in April 2022, he awoke one morning feeling awful, per usual. But this particular morning, for maybe three seconds, his mind went quiet
