This may be one of the most vulnerable episodes I will ever record. I didn’t wait until the panic passed. I hit record right in the middle of it, hoping that sitting with you through this moment might help you feel a little less alone in yours.

Listen to this when your thoughts are racing.

When your chest feels tight and you can’t catch your breath.

When everything feels like too much, and nothing feels safe.

When you just want company, not coping skills.

This isn’t a pep talk or a list of steps to calm down.

It’s just a moment to sit together in the middle of it.

Press play. Let’s get through this together.
