Anxiety seems all too familiar these days, the feelings of discomfort, heart beating fast, constant vigilance, you name it. I share about my recent experience of being in my head, feeling anxious thoughts, and it getting to the point where it's getting in the way of me living. Talking about our mental health and our struggles is a key part of opening up to vulnerability. Many people say that suffering is a part of the human condition, but how do we transcend this "limitation"? How do we live our lives despite the chaos around us? In this episode, I talk about the biological understanding of human behavior and some of the science and psychology behind anxiety and our body's fear response. Tune in if you have been curious about anxiety, how to handle big feelings, or really anything existential lol.
