I care deeply about people who struggle with anxiety, because for me, I don't really know the first time that anxiety played a role in my life... but that's what we would call a normal state.
Imagine feeling so anxious that you believe gravity itself might disappear. In Episode 9 of 'The Art of Letting Go', James Steensma takes us through his gripping journey with anxiety and panic attacks. Far from a Broadway musical lesson, this episode dives into the raw reality of living with constant fear and the toll it takes on daily life and relationships.
James opens up about a particularly intense anxiety attack where he genuinely feared that gravity would shut off, leaving him untethered and vulnerable. His candid storytelling not only sheds light on his personal struggles but also offers a comforting reminder that you are not alone in your fears. James shares how therapy and self-awareness became his lifelines, helping him to manage his anxiety and start letting go of the things he thought he needed to control.
He even reveals how watching Rocky movies played a surprising role in his recovery, providing a source of strength and resilience. If you've ever battled anxiety or know someone who has, this episode is a must-listen. James's honesty and humor make it an engaging and relatable experience, offering hope and practical advice for anyone looking to overcome their own struggles.
