“I started listening to Austin’s podcast a few months ago and haven’t made it all the way thru the back catalog but plan to. Originally I listened because our values align well and Austin’s way of bringing a little humor and humanity to hard topics was a way to create mindfulness around them. However Austin has recently been sharing more about his battle with anxiety and I’ve found this content to be such a salve for my own issues in that realm. While I don’t have the issue with the dentist in particular, there are so many similarities between how anxiety shows up for Austin and how it manifests in myself that I can’t help but laugh through these shared experiences. It feels like laughing at it takes a bit of its power over my life away and I am sure there are others out there feeling the same. Austin could change the entire format of this show to talking about his anxiety and I would listen. I love that this show is hitting a sweet spot between vulnerable and funny, enlightenment and understanding, and intellectual but open minded (such as to pagan rituals). There’s no such thing as a perfect show, but I don’t feel like being critical about someone’s life-work - there is so much more power in gratitude so I am grateful for this content and please take it from me, a random person on the internet that you should check it out”
