In this "Lessons" episode, Dr. John Delony, mental health expert and author of Building a Non-Anxious Life, shares how redefining success and understanding anxiety can lead to a healthier, more intentional life. Drawing from his own experience with burnout and achievement-driven anxiety, he explains why defining what “enough” looks like is essential for protecting relationships and well-being, how solving for peace can create a stronger foundation for success, and why anxiety should be viewed as a signal rather than something to eliminate. Dr. Delony also explores the importance of building margin, separating identity from achievement, and listening to what the body is trying to communicate.
