The Courageous Life

On Unwinding Anxiety and Finding Inner Peace | Dr. Jud Brewer


Listen Later

Between the relentless uncertainty—political, environmental, societal—in the world 

and our own personal challenges, 

We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember.

Many of us are feeling overwhelmed, and out of control.

As a result we may find ourselves falling into unhealthy patterns that we struggle to change—

worrying, 

stress-eating, 

constantly scrolling on social media, 

procrastinating, 

and more. 

The good news is that there’s a way out.

In today’s episode, 

which we originally released in 2023,  but chose to re release now given it feels more timely than ever,

Addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and NYT Bestselling Author Dr. Jud Brewer is back on the show. 

And together we’ll explore the possibility of changing our relationship to anxiety for good.

Leveraging the power of mindfulness, curiosity, 

and a 3-step process for habit change developed in his neuroscience lab,

Jud and his team have shown it’s not only possible to unwind anxiety, rediscover peace and calm (in our constantly changing world),

But that the simple brain-based practices for doing so

are accessible to us all.
