Today is a conversation I've been wanting to have with you all for a while.

It's something that for the high-achieving accomplished people who have come into my practice for the last 13 years have been struggling with. It's largely unnamed and unrecognized, and unless you really dig deep into understanding yourself and understanding what you're thinking, why you're thinking what you're thinking, you might miss this, so I wanna bring this forward, and it's about existential angst.

I don't even like that word angst, but I think that does a pretty good job of describing what's been going on for a lot of high achievers, especially now since 2020, when the world shut down and we were sent home to work and figure out our lives in a very different way than we have in the past. 

A lot of people took a look around and started asking questions that they've never asked before or never paid attention to when they were asking those questions, questions like, Is this all there is? What am I meant for? What's the purpose of all of this? Is there even a point to me being alive and what about this work I'm doing? Does it even make a difference in the world? And those are some of the questions that arise when somebody's in an existential crossroads— it can tip into angst, it can tip into anxiety, it can even tip into existential depression.

Listen to this podcast to learn how to notice the signs, and more importantly, what to do about it.
