Join your host, Samantha Castro, as she discusses the personal, physiological, and political effects of anxiety. Learn how to remedy anxiety by adopting self-care techniques such as intentional consumption, pragmatic problem-solving and planning and how having too much disconnect from what scares us can have terrifying consequences.
