The Transforming Anxiety Podcast

Over and over again, I talk with students who describe feeling as if they can't turn the volume down on the thoughts in their minds. That incessant chatter gets relentless. The stories and ideas just swirl around until it all becomes a tornado.

Good morning, happy Wednesday! This week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is a discussion about something pretty simple, but a powerful addition to the toolbox that we're all using to take care of ourselves around anxiety. And that is: the inevitable

Well, this may be (as close as we're gonna get to) the piece de resistance of the podcast: today, we're talking about ​living well

Ok, *today* we are going to focus on something that I know brings a lot of confusion, guilt, and pressure (aka anxiety) into our lives...and that is: ​

Good morning. ☀️ I hope this finds you well. That you're doing ok so far this week. That you're hanging in, finding some flow, letting yourself breathe, and being kind with yourself.

Ahhhhh, it's good to be back...back to transforming anxiety. I missed you.

In this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast I'm sharing a bit with you about why I took a(n unplanned) break, how I personally struggle a bit, and what we have to look forward to together: work that I want to do, practices I want to steep myself in, teachings I want to stay close to.

With you...

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we’re going to talk about that inner pileup of garbage that happens after days, weeks, months, YEARS of conversations, work, get-togethers, parenting, and activities. Alllll the garbage that starts gumming up the works, internally. The residue that happens when we ignore ourselves a little bit, when we bite our tongues, when we hold back, when we make ...

I don't know about you, but I looooove to put my nose into other people's business. (Except I do know about you...I'm guessing you do this, too. Only about 100% of my students and friends and family do it. 🙃)

I mean, from our vantage point, we can so clearly see what they should be doing, right? If they would just behave, if they would just cooperate, if they would just do it the righ...

I have something that sounds fun today, but is way more importan...

New year! But same me. Same you. Same all of us. This week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ ...

To start out the new year, I am SO excited to bring a really great conversation to you on this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast

Tis the season, friend...this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going to talk about joy. It seems we have a verrrrry tricky dynamic with joy. Have you noticed?

We want to feel happy. We crave ease and contentment. And then, as soon as we feel like things are going okay, a nagging sense of doom creeps in.

How can we get more joy in our lives? <-- I think this is what we're wanting, ye...

Ohhh this is gonna be a good conversation heading into the holidays...something I talk about with EVERY single student of mine is their own personal definitions

Y'know how movies sometimes have the "​director's cut​

This one seems timely, given where we're at in the year...and, I don't know, history

On this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're going to hang out in the gray a bit. That messy middle between the extremes of "all or nothing" and "right or wrong." That murky space where most of life is lived.

We're going to explore 2 contradictory approaches that we can practice. Even though we like things all neat and tidy and black-and-white. These 2 practices can be useful in a wide r...

Good morning, happy Wednesday. ☺️ It's time for a(nother) conversation about thoughts. We circle back to our thinking from time to time around here because it's so dang important.

We tend to glorify thinking in our culture; we definitely consider thinking to be a "higher" power than feeling. But...is it? What are our minds telling us? Is it worth listening to?

This is what I want to explore with ...

Welp, we've made it to November. Which means: everyone is gonna start talking about gratitude. ​So, ok, ok, I put together a gratitude...
