This is the third in a series of bonus episodes of Wild for the holiday period, as inspired by my New York Times bestselling book ‘first, we make the beast beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety'.
I explore how I turn my anxiety into a superpower, something I practice daily.
In this episode I'm joined by Brooke McAlary from Slowyourhome.com and we explore ways I listen to my anxiety and use it to change direction to a better life. I use these techniques daily.
This episode reminded me of the interview I had with New York-based surfer, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Jud Brewer, who uses curiosity to steer anxiety. It's an awesomely effective technique grounded in good science.
Here's the link to the interview:
