Your Daily Routine: Weekend Edition

Your Daily Routine: Weekend Edition

A few weeks ago I did a podcast about your daily routine and I heard from a lot of you that it was helpful and gave you a new way to think about and set up your day. And then I got a great question: what about the WEEKEND?…

How To Be Alone w/Nicole Antoinette

How To Be Alone w/Nicole Antoinette

I have another interview for you this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast; this week, I'm talking to author, long-distance hiker, and community-creator, Nicole Antoinette, about her new book How To Be Alone

The Anatomy of Anxiety w/Dr. Ellen Vora

The Anatomy of Anxiety w/Dr. Ellen Vora

We have another interview this week, this time it's with Dr. Ellen Vora, author of The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response

I read this about Ellen's work:

"This is a paradigm shift in how we view anxiety and the mind-body connection... Anxiety truly is our teacher, and this book is a must-have for anyone looking to heal." ~ Dr. Nicole LePera…

What is the Opposite of Anxiety?

What is the Opposite of Anxiety?

If I were to ask you, "what is the opposite of anxiety? " I'm guessing you'd say something like: calm, peace, relaxation.

Right?

Sounds pretty good. And on the surface of things, I think this makes sense. If anxiety is an agitated, wound up, nervous energy, then something soothing like calm or peace seems to be the opposing emotional experience….

Change is Hard

Change is Hard

For most of us, there are things we know we want to change in our lives: habits, thoughts, ways of showing up in our relationships, career paths, how we're spending our time, what we do with our money...

But knowing we want, or even need, to change something vs. actually making the change? Well.

That's tricky.

Because: change is hard

Life-Enhancing Anxiety w/Dr. Kirk J. Schneider

Life-Enhancing Anxiety w/Dr. Kirk J. Schneider

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast  I have another interview for you: this time with Dr. Kirk J. Schneider about his brand-new book, Life-Enhancing Anxiety...and can we talk about how amazing just that phrase is?? What if anxiety were life ENHANCING instead of, as he talks about, life DENYING?…

Befriending Sleep

Befriending Sleep

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, I want to talk about something important: sleep. And not just that you should get quality sleep (sure) or that sleep is good for you (duh), but I want to explore the idea of befriending sleep  with you…

Let's Talk About Guilt

Let's Talk About Guilt

"I feel so bad about it..." <-- This is how most of us are feeling about...well, basically everything, amiright?? Parenting, work, our homes, friendships, how we're showing up in our marriages...you name it, we can feel guilty about it.

Why is that?

You Are Not Stuck w/Becky Vollmer

You Are Not Stuck w/Becky Vollmer

Ohhhh I have something so FUN for you this week: my dear friend,  Becky Vollmer , has a new book out in the world (birthed on January 3, 2023) and I brought her on  The Transforming Anxiety Podcast  to talk all about it.

Becky is like that wise, sassy, older sister who is full of encouragement and shares her hard-earned life lessons, and she's heavy on the love part of "tough love."…

Breathing for Anxiety

Breathing for Anxiety

I have something really important for you this week on  The Transforming Anxiety Podcast : we're going to talk about  breathing for anxiety .

For sure, someone somewhere along the way has suggested you "take a deep breath" when they noticed you were feeling anxious or overwhelmed. You've likely handed out this advice yourself; it's almost a knee-jerk response when we see someone is upset. "Ok...take a deep breath..."…

Wintering

Wintering

Now that winter is upon us and we're into the cold, dark, quiet of the season I thought we'd explore this together. Winter is a time of year, but it's also something that we experience in our lives: those fallow, dormant, even painful periods of wintering that we all cycle through.

Your Only Job

Your Only Job

Well this is fun...this week is episode #200 (!) of  The Transforming Anxiety Podcast ! That's 200 conversations, 200 times we've hung out together, 200 weeks, of transforming anxiety. First of all: thank you. Thank you for showing up and being here with me. Thank you for sharing the show with your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors.

I'll keep it coming, every Wednesday, and I sincerely look forward to all we'll do together in our next 200 episodes...

No Goal New Year

No Goal New Year

Welp, it's that time of year. When we all get serious about New Year's resolutions, plans for 2023, and goals.

But I have an idea and want to explore it with you on this week's episode of  The Transforming Anxiety Podcast : how about a  no goal new year
