Paula explores the current impact of anxiety on Americans, referencing a recent mental health poll by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) which revealed that 40% of employed individuals worry about job security, while 67% prioritize keeping themselves or their families safe among other significant concerns. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging an increase in anxiety as a signal and addressing it before it becomes unmanageable, particularly for historically underserved populations such as BIPOC individuals and those in rural areas.
