Listen "Releasing Anxiety with Three Kinds of Insights"
Episode Synopsis
Many of us live inside an “invisible cage” made from old fears, guardedness, and habits of staying small. Anxiety shows up not only in dread and worry, but in all the subtle ways we avoid risks, silence ourselves, or brace for what might go wrong.So in this talk, I explore how insight — from psychology, somatic work, and early Buddhism — can help you recognize where anxiety really comes from, loosen its grip, and grow a grounded, calm strength inside. Bit by bit, you can expand your inner cage, reclaim your freedom, and meet life with more confidence and ease.You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks—for free—by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to experience the meditation that accompanied this talk, you can listen to it here.And if you'd like to check out any of my online programs, you can receive 20% off by using coupon code PW20 during checkout.
