Ever feel like anxiety is running your life?

Maybe your mind won’t stop racing before bed, or your inner "Nervous Nelly" is always on the internal mic. What if instead of fighting the ever annoying anxiety, you could make it work for you?

We’re joined by Dr. David Rosmarin, Harvard psychologist and author of Thriving with Anxiety, to break down how anxiety really works—and how to actually use it to your advantage. (Hallelujah!)

You’re about to learn…

✨ Why anxiety isn’t a "disorder"—but a normal part of life you can embrace.

✨ How to know if your anxiety is actually a hidden strength.

✨ The link between anxiety, high performance, & success.

What to do when anxiety feels overwhelming (without making it worse).

How to stop passing anxiety to your kids and break the cycle.

Why anxiety can deepen relationships (when handled the right way).

If you’re tired of struggling with anxiety, this episode is full of game-changing insights and evidence-based approaches to help you finally start thriving because of your anxiety, not in spite of it.

In the extended video version of this episode (exclusively on our Patreon!) Dr. David helps Lynnsey through her special flavor of "mom anxiety" and tells the story of how he became a Ted X speaker, twice!
