"The only thing that frees us from anxiety is doing the thing you are afraid to do." So many nuggets of advice for facing anxiety head-on today in a new episode of The Workplace Therapist Show with Licensed Counselor, Mazi Robinson. Mazi notes that our anger is often unaddressed anxiety. And folks, today we talk about how we've entered "next level" anxiety in post-pandemic times. But take heart, Mazi also walks us through how to build resiliency and turn things around.

It's an exciting podcast day because producer, Whitney, and I are back in front of the mics to talk about my new book, "The Author vs. Editor Dilemma: The Leadership Secret to Unlocking Your Team, Your Time, and Your Impact" launching Thursday, June 23, 2022!

Today, I'm reflecting on this special episode of The Workplace Therapist Show where producer, Whitney, and I discuss why I wrote "The Hot Sauce Principle" and how we can apply it to our working relationships today. While it's a fun episode, it's a great reminder that life is not meant to be an endless sea of to-dos. It's a reminder that, taking control of our schedules, projects and other forms of urgency in our lives is a form a self-care - because that means more time for doing other things we enjoy.

"The greatest opportunity you have in your career is when you're happy in it." I'm excited to have Dr. Benjamin Ritter with me on today's episode of The Workplace Therapist Show to talk about authoring a career you love. Together, we cover how to retain talent and the three buckets where leaders need to live for their teams.

More than 70% of us feel like pretenders; we feel like everyone around us has their life together while we continue to swing and miss. My guest today on The Workplace Therapist Show, Dr. Carolyn Goerner, has gone great lengths to combat imposter syndrome, including trying out for Broadway! While the feelings of imposter syndrome never fully go away, we can give such thoughts less power. We can learn to embrace our authentic self! On the podcast, Carolyn shares her three steps to do just that.
