Podcasts about Anxiety

With anxiety off the charts as a growing epidemic among children and teens, we're spending all this week looking at strategies you can employ to prevent anxiety in the kids you know and love. One important step we can take is to teach our kids that the nature of living the Christian life is like running a race. The writer of Hebrews tells us to run with perseverance the race marked out for us. And, as we run and struggle and even stumble at times, we are to fix our eyes on Jesus, who is the pioneer and perfector of our faith. In my own life, one of the greatest causes of anxiety is the tendency to take my eyes off of Christ and to place them onto the temporary matters of life that can consume my thoughts and energies. Instead, we are instructed to look away from these idols and focus our gaze straight ahead to the one who waits for us at the finish line. Teach your kids to keep from looking side to side in the comparison game that only leads to fear and anxiety.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shiloh Bigles. A certified functional nutrition counselor and founder of Level Minds CBD Health Club, joins Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss how CBD, functional nutrition, and holistic wellness help individuals manage pain, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders. She shares her personal experience overcoming lupus and Crohn’s disease through natural remedies.

Experiencing a recurring pattern of anxious thoughts or becoming gripped by worry over a sudden difficult situation can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to stay under the control of your anxiety. You can create a specific plan to relieve your anxiety and stress—one that is just right for you. It’s what our guests, father-and-son authors Ronnie Kent (a medical doctor and behavioral specialist) and James Kent (a therapist), call The Anxiety Algorithm. It is based on Philippians 4:8 in the Bible and is supported by other passages of Scripture and trusted counseling techniques. Even in the midst of life’s hurts, setbacks, and challenges, you can experience true fulfillment and joy.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list? In this episode, anxiety specialist Kimberley Quinlan reveals six sneaky schedule habits that may be fueling your anxiety—and exactly how to shift toward calm, clarity, and confidence in your daily routine.

In this episode, we explore how meaningful conversation can be divided into three emotional spaces — even if you live alone:

With anxiety off the charts as a growing epidemic among children and teens, I want to spend this week offering some strategies you can employ to prevent anxiety in the kids you know and love. Perhaps the most effective strategy is to teach them to preach the Gospel to themselves. Teach them to speak to their hearts, telling their hearts to follow the Gospel rather than allowing their hearts to speak to them. You see, our feelings are not trustworthy. They can lead us astray. They are especially dangerous during times of emotional highs and lows. While the mantra of today's culture is “follow and trust your heart,” the mantra for the Christian should be “follow and trust the Gospel.” I have found the words of this old hymn to be helpful: “God is God, he sees and hears, all our troubles, all our tears. Soul forget not, ‘mid your pains, God o'er all forever reigns. Fear not Death nor Satan's thrusts, God defends who in Him trusts. Soul, remember in your pains, God o'er all forever reigns!”

My focus today is on how to take tiny, manageable steps through our fears, allowing us to turn anxiety into confidence. Recognizing how anxiety can often introduce new fears in our lives, I discuss the common triggers that many of us experience, whether it's the anxiety of flying, public speaking, or even simply being in crowded spaces. These moments can provoke an immediate physical response, leaving us feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable.However, I propose a powerful reframe: these fears, rather than being obstacles, can serve as gateways to deeper confidence and inner peace. By gently facing and befriending our triggers, we begin to cultivate a strength that can ultimately help us tackle more profound anxieties, such as feelings of inadequacy or fear of rejection. The essence of this process lies in taking those initial small steps—steps that foster self-kindness and acknowledge the importance of gentleness in our healing journey.I outline three foundational steps to approach our fears, starting with creating proximity without pressure. Using the example of a fear of flying, I encourage listeners to take small, non-threatening actions, like just driving to the airport or sitting in the parking lot observing planes. This method emphasizes building a safe relationship with our fears, recognizing them without judgment, and allowing ourselves the freedom to retreat if needed. The next step involves gradually increasing our exposure by taking more active roles in confronting our fears, ensuring we're in a space where we can feel comfortable and safe while doing so.#anxiety #fear #confidence #tinysteps #healinganxiety #selfcompassion #courage #innerpeace #mentalhealth #anxietycoach #anxietyrelief #fearfacing #confidencebuilding #smallvictories #nervoussystemsupport #selfkindnessjourney #anxietytips #lovesmotivation #progressnotperfection #mentalhealthjourney #anxietyhelp #phobiasnomore #emotionalresilience #gradualexposuretherapy #mindfulanxiety #innerstrengthbuilding #selfsoothingtechniques #breakthecycle #connectionoverfear #imperfectaction #neurologicalrewiring #emotionalwellbeing #GinaRyan #ACP #Anxietycoachespodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm convinced I have lipedema. I haven't been to the Dr to confirm yet. My torso, arms & legs all feel like I have grainy/pebbly texture beneath the skin. My knees have a weird “fat pad” on the side. I listened to another show where you mentioned lipedema, & I thought you said you have been able to help people reverse it. All of my research says it's incurable, but can manage it and calm swelling and pain, but the nodular fat will not go away without lipo. My questions are: are you familiar with any other scenario where texture I feel on myself as I described is normal? Or is that pebbly feeling always lipedema? Have you actually seen people get rid of the nodular lipedema fat & heal completely? Or just reduce swelling, pain & normal fat?Diet advice for this condition? Thanks                   Anonymous: Dr C! Thank you for all you do! I am a 52 yr old post menopausal female, who is pretty healthy, dove into your supplements and detox about 1 yr now. Recently I had normal labs taken by my MD with the results of my alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), serum slighty elevated from last year (range 10-34, mine was 53, last year it was 35). Negative for hepatitis, not a drinker, cholesterol is good, weigh 110 at 5'2, Ultrasound also showed a healthy liver...could it be certain supplements? Thanks in advance! PS have done the 7 day detox 3x now and will do again in May                                     Anonymous: Hey Dr Cabral....Love listening to you daily! Question ... how important is taking creatine if you are in menopause? Want to maintain healthy muscles whiles strength training but not really a fan about how I hear it may bloat you. Thanks for all you do!                                                                                                                                                                  Anonymous: I recently completed my 2nd DNAge test, included in my HPH membership. I was shocked to receive the results indicating that based on my methylation value, l aged an additional 6 years in 8 months! I basically follow Dr. Cabral's lifestyle recommendations to the letter. I eat a primarily Mediterranean diet, detox 4 times a year, sauna, resistance and cardio train, prioritize sleep, PEMF mat, minimal to no alcohol, and practice meditation and mindfulness. Additionally, I do the Big 5 four times per year. The only 2 things I have changed in the time between tests is that I have eliminated a very low dose of estrogen and progesterone that I was prescribed for post menopausal symptoms and I have added cold plunge 3 times per week. I am 63 years old. Please advise.                                                         Emily: My partner 23 (M) has recently started experiencing debilitating anxiety. This is not normal for him and he has not experienced anxiety like this before or at all. He was sick this last month with a 104 degree fever and for a few weeks was experiencing skin sensitivity in certain spots. What would you recommend in helping navigate this new anxiety and help him start feeling “normal” again.                                                                                                                                                        Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for your great podcasts- I look forward to them every week. My question is: what are your thoughts on the use of testosterone to help post-menopausal women maintain muscle mass and bone health as well as hypoactive sexual desire disorder? My physician is recommending a small amount of a compounded formulation of testosterone to be injected in the subcutaneous skin layer every 10 days. Are there any less invasive and more natural ways to achieve the same benefits that you would recommend? I have heard that testosterone is a controlled substance and I am wondering if it could potentially cause side effects such as hair loss on the head and hair growth in unwanted areas.

If you wake up already anxious, overstimulated, or feeling behind—you're not imagining it. Mornings can be brutal when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. And no amount of coffee, planners, or morning routine hacks will fix what's really happening in your body.In this episode, we're unpacking what's actually going on when mornings feel hard—and how to shift it with nervous system-based tools that work in real life (not just on someone's aesthetic IG grid).We're diving into: ✔️ What a dysregulated nervous system looks like first thing in the morning ✔️ The sneaky habits making AM anxiety worse (even when they feel “normal”) ✔️ Simple, body-based shifts to start your day feeling grounded—not reactiveIf you've been telling yourself you're just “not a morning person,” it might be time to look deeper. Your body is asking for safety. Let's help it find it.

This week on Disordered we're discussing the all too common narrative in wellness circles that demands that we ascribe all anxiety or suffering of any kind to unhealed or unprocessed trauma. And while its certainly a good thing that we are more concerned with life experiences than structural defects now, this narrative can be unhelpful or even harmful in the context of anxiety disorders.All humans experiences crises. Some of those crises remain unresolved and create trauma. In some of those cases that trauma appears as functional impairment long after the traumatizing experiences are over. Some anxious people struggle with this. BUT NOT ALL. It's not automatic. The word "some" is the most important word in this discussion.When there is trauma in the mix - and not all difficult things in life need to be called trauma - that makes anxiety recovery more layered and even more tricky in some cases, but it doesn't make things impossible. And when there is no lasting functional impact due to "trauma", insisting that anxiety disorders are an unhealed / unprocessed pain problem is a really bad strategy.Whatever your experiences in life with crisis, trauma, or anxiety may be, this episode is worth a listen. ---Disordered Roundtables are here!

Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God's unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it's never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we've run out of “do-overs”? Kim's response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God's grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He's still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family's struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it's singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God's word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we're trying our best, we may still fail—but God's forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley's recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we're able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you're grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.

Today we peel back the layers of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) — a condition far beyond simple vanity. Host Gabe Howard and clinician Scott M. Granet tear apart the facade of BDD — a mental battle where the mirror becomes your worst enemy.  This episode exposes a disorder that distorts reality, making you question every reflection. Forget cosmetic fixes — plastic surgery rarely provides salvation. Scott bares his soul, recounting his harrowing struggle from a college crisis over a few stray hairs to a lifelong fight against the obsessive compulsion to fix what isn't really broken. With raw honesty and expert insights, this conversation dives into the complexities of living with BDD, highlighting the vital role of support systems and cognitive behavioral therapy. Whether you or someone you know battles inner demons or simply seeks a deeper understanding of mental health, this episode promises a captivating exploration of perception versus reality. Special thanks to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for sponsoring this episode. “If you're somebody with BDD who has a problem with your physical appearance, your first thought is not going to be, I should go see a psychotherapist. Your first thought is probably going to be, I want to get this fixed. And even if they suspect they have a psychiatric problem, a major issue with BDD is that it's often considered a shame based disorder. There can be so much shame associated with this, to the point where people don't want to go for therapy and, you know, they're too embarrassed to tell somebody about this problem.” ~Scott M. Granet, LCSW Today's guest, Scott Granet, LCSW, specializes in the treatment of OCD and BDD. He has presented at numerous conferences worldwide and has taught continuing education classes at universities and other institutions throughout the U.S., including the Rutgers University School of Social Work, the UC Berkeley Extension, the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice and the NYU Silver School of Social Work. Mr. Granet is the author of “The Complete OCD Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Free Yourself from Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Behaviors” and “Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Mine and Yours: A Personal and Clinical Perspective.” Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD. This week, host David Mendes sits down with Dr. Rob Lion, professor of Human Resource Development at Idaho State University, expert in culture, leadership development, and organizational performance, and co-owner of Black River Performance Management. With over two decades of experience guiding individuals and organizations, Rob shares his personal journey from early leadership roles to consulting, and how his curiosity led him to focus not just on systematic solutions, but on the human factors that drive real, lasting change in organizations. In this conversation, Rob unpacks the realities of workplace culture, the true meaning of leadership, and the importance of behavioral science in making organizational improvements actually “stick.” For grad students and early-career researchers, he offers honest insights about the professional world outside academia, including the value of humility, self-awareness, and team skills in landing your first job—and thriving in your career afterwards. Whether you're interested in active leadership, building workplace culture, or just starting to explore where your PhD might take you, this episode is packed with practical advice and new ways of thinking about the future.   Dr. Rob Lion is a professor of human resource development at Idaho State University. He specializes in culture, leadership development, strategy, and organizational performance. In addition to his teaching and research, Rob and his wife, Angie Lion, own Black River Performance Management. With over 20 years in leadership and organizational development, he is recognized as a visionary leader who promotes sustainable, actionable science-backed solutions for individuals and organizations. Rob is a dynamic speaker and consultant who understands how to integrate the theory and teachings of best practices into organizational practices, resulting in strategic and sustainable improvement solutions. As a professor and researcher specializing in the psychological and behavioral sciences, Rob provides expert guidance to clients, addressing their “people” needs, obstacles, and opportunities. What we covered in the interview:  Embrace Humility & Keep Learning: No matter how advanced your degree, entering a new work environment means there's still much to learn. Being open, humble, and ready to adapt is key to long-term success and professional growth.  Practice Teamwork & Emotional Intelligence: Technical knowledge opens doors, but your ability to collaborate, communicate, and navigate group dynamics determines how far you'll go. Emotional intelligence is a crucial differentiator for hiring managers today.  Take Initiative in University & Beyond: Universities are a “petri dish” for low-risk leadership experiences—get involved beyond the lab or classroom! Organizing events, working with clubs, or connecting with alumni not only build your resume but also expand your professional mindset and network.  Whether you're eyeing your first job outside academia or aiming to grow within an organization, this episode has advice you can act on today!

In this episode, Chris Guillebeau shares how time anxiety affects nearly everyone—and why naming it might be the first step to freedom. Chris is a New York Times bestselling author known for books like The $100 Startup and The Art of Non-Conformity, and the founder of several beloved communities and events, including the World Domination Summit and Neurodiversion. We dive into his latest book Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live, exploring why productivity often leaves us feeling emptier, not more fulfilled. Chris shares how his own stress around time led him to uncover this nearly universal tension—and why the answer isn't just doing less, but living more intentionally. If you've ever felt like there's never enough time (and who hasn't?), this conversation is for you. Some highlights we explore: “I've never heard of that, but I have that.” — Chris on why time anxiety hit a nerve with almost everyone he talked to. A man who flies to nowhere every week – and what it teaches us about practicing joy. The illusion of control – why managing time is often just magical thinking. The eighth day of the week – a practical tool for designing the life you actually want. Enjoy!  

This week on Win Today, I'm joined by Kris Vallotton for a raw conversation about how well-meaning but bad theology is distorting our view of emotional health and creating systems of self-oppression inside the Church. From the stigma surrounding therapy and medication to the over-spiritualization of trauma, Kris pulls no punches. Together, we explore why real transformation can't just be personal—it must be systemic. Because if the environment around you is sick, your health will always hit a ceiling. If you've ever been shamed for struggling, blamed for being anxious, or silenced when asking hard questions about healing, this conversation will set you free. It's time to confront the beliefs that keep us stuck—and recover a theology that makes room for the whole person: body, soul, and spirit.

Do you reflect on your experiences with self-criticism? In this episode, I revisit a powerful narrative technique called the "Once-Upon-a-Time" technique that helps you gain perspective on challenging situations and cultivate self-compassion. This two-part reflective practice transforms how you view your experiences by allowing you to step back and observe yourself through the lens of a neutral observer.   The technique involves writing about a meaningful experience twice - first from your personal perspective, and then rewriting it as if you're an anthropologist studying someone else's story. Through this process, you discover hidden thought patterns and create space for a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself and your actions.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/173

In this episode, Max sits down with Allison, a former private investigator turned therapist and coach, who shares how she rebuilt her life from burnout to purpose. From her early battles with anxiety and panic attacks in high school to working with men in solitary confinement at Rikers Island, Allison opens up about her path to healing and helping others.

What if anxiety wasn't the enemy—but the invitation?In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Humble The Poet, and we have a real, raw conversation about one of the most common challenges we all face—anxiety. But we don't treat it like a monster hiding in the closet. Instead, we explore it for what it really is: a signal, not a sentence. Humble brings a refreshing, honest lens to what it means to feel anxious in today's world. He says anxiety isn't about danger—it's about uncertainty. It's not that something's wrong with you. It's that you've been conditioned to believe you can't handle life's hard moments. But guess what? You can. “Anxiety is when your intelligence grows faster than your courage,” he says. That line hit me. We're overthinking ourselves into paralysis, while our bodies are screaming for action, for movement, for breath. We also dig into how society—especially social media—is tricking us into thinking we're not enough. That we're missing out. That our value is tied to our achievements. But your worth? It's not on the other side of likes, lists, or trophies. And when Humble said, “The people that matter most don't care about your achievements,” I thought of my mom, my kids, and how true that really is. You're not broken. You don't need to avoid hard things. In fact, you get stronger by facing them—again and again. The goal isn't to be fearless. The goal is to shorten the time between when fear shows up and when you respond with clarity and grace. That's equanimity. That's emotional fitness. That's the real edge.
