Rewiring Anxiety — Your Body Is Trying to Help You

What if anxiety wasn’t a flaw, but a signal? In this solo episode, Darin peels back the layers on a topic that affects every one of us: anxiety. But instead of treating it as something to suppress or escape from, Darin offers a bold new perspective — anxiety is your body's cry for balance in an overstimulated world. From breathwork and food to sunlight, grounding, and mindset, this episode explores practical and biological ways to stop reacting and start responding with awareness.

With science-backed tools and soul-level wisdom, Darin invites you to reclaim your nervous system and transform daily stress into a signal for deeper connection and healing.
