  • Debora Masterson
    Today’s guest is Debora Masterson and she will share her inspiring and remarkable story of transformation, all made possible by her taking up the practice of Transcendental Meditation. As a young woman Debora did experience some bouts of depression and drastic mood swings, however this was nothing like the overwhelming grief that she experienced when her soul-mate Craig succumbed to illness at a relatively young age. She describes how this loss triggered patterns of self-destructive behavior in the form of alcohol and substance abuse, and a general lack of control in her life. Then from the most unlikely source, a Jerry Seinfeld interview, she found the motivation to try out TM and the results have been astonishing. Since then she has written a book manuscript, engaged in the refurbishment of a historic home, and pursued her love of music to name just a few of her creative activities. Through TM Debora has found a calm center while at the same time a powerful energy to pursue any endeavor she puts her mind to. Listen to her fascinating story.

  • Carol Conant

    There often doesn’t seem to be any good reason for us to suffer from anxiety or depression. Sometimes the causes lie in some deep-rooted ailment or a physiological condition. It could be something that we are born with, or something that slowly and subtly develops over time. Carol Conant seemed to be leading a life of fulfillment. She had all the things for which she had strived—in her career she successfully followed her calling as an educator; she had a wonderful marriage and family; and she lived in a setting of natural splendor in Seward Alaska. If you asked her, she would probably tell that there was nothing else she could ask for. But she was unhappy…profoundly unhappy. In today’s episode we will explore Carol’s journey from clinical depression and anxiety to finding Transcendental Meditation as a way to cut through the noise and find her priorities, and in so doing lead an authentic life.

  • Josh Griffith

    Welcome to End Anxiety! The Podcast with James Meade and Friends. Today we have a fascinating guest with the acclaimed soap opera producer and daytime television executive, Josh Griffith.  If you have ever watched any of the programs that Mr. Griffith has written or produced, such as One Life to Live, Days of Our Lives, or The Young and the Restless, to name just a few, you will have witnessed a multitude of often high-strung characters engaged in countless plots, schemes, betrayals, and machinations designed to leave you at the edge of your seat until you “tune in tomorrow” when the whole process starts up again. When we talk about people dealing with anxiety, these should be the poster children—but that’s just television, right? Well, yes, but when you hear Josh Griffith talk about his own experiences dealing with the very real and high-pressure environment of network television you may be reminded of the saying “art imitates reality”.  How does Josh survive and thrive in this notoriously tough industry? Transcendental Meditation has been his key to success for close to a decade, and it has led him to perform at a highest level of his entire career. Are you dealing with work stress, difficulties in the office, interpersonal problems, and excessive workload? Listen to today’s episode to get some ideas about what Transcendental Meditation can do for you! 

    “The stress was not allowing me to explore my full creativity,” says Griffith. “Stress and anxiety were controlling my life. The effect of TM was instant and effortless. I went from stress controlling my life to my life controlling the stress.” 

    Josh Griffith is an Emmy award winning soap opera writer and producer. Programs that he has worked on include One Life to Live, Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, As the World Turns, and others.

  • Mike Love of the Beach Boys

    Welcome to the first episode of End Anxiety! The Podcast with James Meade and Friends. For our inaugural episode, we are honored to have a very special guest, the legendary Mike Love of the Beach Boys. Mike will talk to us about his personal development and how Transcendental Meditation has been a key factor behind his longevity as a performing artist and his overall well-being. We will hear stories from the turbulent 1960s when the Beach Boys rose to super stardom, and of that important encounter when Mike met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and began to practice TM under his guidance. Mike will also discuss how taking on the practice of Transcendental Meditation helped him avoid the drugs, alcohol, and other pitfalls of the 1960s era that damaged or ruined the careers and lives of so many young people during rock-and-roll’s heyday. 

    Mike Love is an American singer and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys with his cousins Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson and their friend Al Jardine. Characterized by his nasal tenor and occasional bass-baritone singing, Love has been one of the band's vocalists and lyricists for their entire career, contributing to each of their studio albums and serving as their frontman for live performances. During the mid-1960s, he was one of Brian's main collaborators, co-writing hit records such as "Fun, Fun, Fun" (1964), "I Get Around" (1964), "Help Me, Rhonda" (1965), "California Girls."
