We brought on Abe Heisler onto the podcast today!  He is a breathwork coach but probably not the breathwork you are thinking of.  It’s quite the opposite of meditation.  Both Jeremy and Kyle attended a breathwork class of his and were blown away by the results.

Abe talks about how he uses breathwork to enter “flow state” and explains the neuroscience behind it.  He also talks about his 3 favorite tools he uses when he starts to feel himself slip into a depressive slate.  2 of them, you probably have never heard of.  Listen now!

We brought on the creators of the book Anxious Little Pishy, Brittany Joseph (author) and Chris Joseph (illustrator).  

The book has been showing our children that anxiety is something that we all feel, and that it’s okay to talk about it. It is the perfect way to introduce the subject and open the discussion around anxiety, without worrying if broaching the subject will provoke more worry!  Brittany Joseph writes this tale from a sincere and authentic point of view. As a child and to this very day, our author has battled with anxiety. She understands how isolated a child with anxiety can feel.  Brittany has offered this book to the world in hopes that her anecdote will help children and adults understand the struggle of children with mental health issues.Brittany and Chris (a brother sister duo) have been on NBC to speak about their book, and multiple schools, museums, podcasts and libraries. The book has become a staple in any classroom it has found, as well as a bedtime favorite. For siblings of anxious children, Little Pishy can help us build compassion for our our brothers, sisters, and friends with anxiety. Join us, and watch, as Little Pishy shows us all how to swim away from anxiety.

The book is incredible and so is the conversation we had with Brittany and Chris.

Kyle's review of the book after reading it to his kids:

"They loved it.  I felt like the book was about me haha.  I love how it very similarly explains what anxiety is but in a direct way.   My oldest, who is 6, said "Is that what I have when I worry about mommy not coming home?"  (At the time, my wife was at the hospital most nights due to her mother's poor health)  For her to get even the slightest grasp on that at 6 years old was great.  Then we talked about different things you can do when you feel like that."

The creator of the popular deck of cards called ASK DEEP QUESTIONS and TEDx speaker, Jan Keck, joined the podcast with us.  Human connection is so important for our mental health and sometimes it is hard to find that connection with a stranger because we get anxious about asking people questions or we get stuck asking everyone the same boring "surface-level" questions a lot of people ask like:  How about this weather?, Where do you work?, etc.

Jan explains how to get past "surface-level" connections and find deep, meaningful connection by asking deep, meaningful questions without the anxiety we get sometimes by asking them.    Listen to the show to learn some of Jan's favorite questions to ask people that create deep, meaningful connection.
