What if your breaking point was actually your turning point?

In this episode, I sit down with Congressman Adam Smith—a sitting U.S. politician—who opens up about his battle with crippling anxiety, chronic pain, and the brutal identity loss that came with it.

For years, Adam looked like he had it all together. But behind the scenes, he was barely holding on.

We talk about what it really feels like to lose control, why high-achievers often suffer in silence, and how to start rebuilding your confidence when it feels like everything’s falling apart.

Adam shares the exact mindset shifts and daily actions that helped him go from panic to purpose—and why the people around you are everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or like you’re pretending to be okay when you’re not—this conversation will hit home…and more importantly, it will give you a way forward.

TOPICS:
