Summary
In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the concept of moving beyond mere survival mode and reclaiming our natural state of calm. Many of us find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of stress and anxiety, feeling perpetually overloaded and braced for the next challenge. I share my personal insights on the notion of survival mode—an all-too-frequent mindset in our fast-paced lives—as well as my experiences of navigating significant changes and the overwhelming effects of modern life on our mental well-being.
I explore the various forces that contribute to our stress accumulation, drawing comparisons between the frantic rhythm of today’s world and the more leisurely pace of the past. While chronic stress can manifest through numerous pathways, it is crucial to identify how the constant barrage of information and responsibilities heightens our anxiety. The ceaseless demand for our attention, whether from relentless news updates or notifications from our devices, keeps our nervous system in a heightened state of alertness. This leads to an ongoing cycle where small irritants trigger disproportionate responses, indicating that we might be dwelling in survival mode.
Throughout the episode, I offer practical strategies to shift our experience from one of relentless reactivity to a more measured and intentional response to life's demands. I emphasize the importance of mindful pauses, suggesting a simple yet effective two-second pause to recalibrate our minds before reacting to various stimuli. This brief moment of reflection can significantly retrain our nervous system and mitigate stress.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
