Anxiety and worry are things we all can struggle with at times and the core of those feelings is fear. But at some point, we have to realize we have our own loving power that’s bigger than our fear. And we need to claim that to free ourselves from the bondage of pain and lack of self-worth.
Ever feel like anxiety and worry are running your life? Gigi Langer has been there, and in this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, she shares her incredible journey from fear to freedom. Hosted by Duane Osterlind, LMFT, this conversation dives into Gigi's award-winning book, '50 Ways to Worry Less Now', and how she learned to conquer her anxieties and embrace a life of sobriety.
Growing up in a family affected by alcoholism, Gigi took on the role of the 'good girl'. But as she hit her 40s, juggling a Ph.D. at Stanford and multiple failed relationships, her stress levels soared. It was during this turbulent time that she turned to marijuana for relief. However, it wasn't until she tapped into her own 'loving power' and embraced mindfulness and self-reflection that she truly began to heal.
Throughout the episode, Gigi offers practical tips for managing anxiety and worry, drawing from her personal experiences and the supportive community that kept her accountable. If you're struggling with addiction or mental health challenges, Gigi's story is a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to discover how you too can reclaim your life from the clutches of fear and live more fully.
