The Transforming Anxiety Podcast

Ohhhh, do I have a treat for you today. There are a few books that I recommend to clients, students, friends, family, people in line at the grocery store, you name it...and THIS guy has done it again. Oliver Burkeman is the author of the NYT Bestseller Four Thousand Weeks (that's the one I've been known to push into the hands of anyone who will listen) and he's back at it with the just-released ​Meditations for Mortals​. And this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ is an interview with Mr. Burkeman. A few nuggets from new book: "The whole point of facing the truth about finitude is that it gets easier to spend more of your time on worthwhile and life-enriching activities once you're no longer trying to do all of them, or do them perfectly, or do them with the secret agenda of achieving a feeling of security or control." And this is another great quote... "...the life-enhancing route is to think of decisions not as things that come along, but as things to go hunting for. In other words: to operate on the assumption that somewhere, in the confusing morass of your work or your life, lurks at least one decision you could make, right now, in order to get unstuck and get moving." This is a really great conversation and I'm thrilled he spent some time with us. You can find the video ​HERE​ and audio is in your podcast feed or ​over on the website​.

Ahhhhh, it's good to be back...back to transforming anxiety. I missed you. In this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast I'm sharing a bit with you about why I took a(n unplanned) break, how I personally struggle a bit, and what we have to look forward to together: work that I want to do, practices I want to steep myself in, teachings I want to stay close to. With you... I want you to know that I don't take the fact that you're here lightly. I don't for a second take it for granted that you're here with me. That you listen in. That you share your inbox with me. That this work means something to you. It means the world to me, too. And that's why I do it. That's why I show up. That's why I love on you and bring you these conversations, from my heart and my research and my curiosity and a deep love for all of us who feel and struggle and work with and around and inside of anxiety. I get it. I walk this path right alongside you. I'm so glad to be back. I've been thinking about you. And working hard. And also had to just take a moment to breathe and sit in the dark. But I missed you. Let's get back to transforming anxiety...

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going to talk about that inner pileup of garbage that happens after days, weeks, months, YEARS of conversations, work, get-togethers, parenting, and activities. Alllll the garbage that starts gumming up the works, internally. The residue that happens when we ignore ourselves a little bit, when we bite our tongues, when we hold back, when we make ourselves small… And, more importantly, we're going to talk about a few specific ways you can take out the trash for yourself so that you feel better and things run more smoothly. If you've ever felt bogged down at work, slow to make decisions, overly impatient with your family, or just like you can quite THINK clearly…it may be because the inner trash is piling up. These are all pretty common signals that something needs to be said, that it's time to take a good, hard look at how you're adulting, or that maybe a regular routine or pattern could use some adjustment. This one is full of practical approaches to emotional ick. Ways to take care of yourself and clear things out. A little preemptive spring cleaning mid-winter, y'know. Join me and let's do this one together. Let's take out all the trash… Full show notes are located at: www.kellyhanlinmccormick.com/podcast/250 Be sure to join my email list so you don't miss announcements, new classes, and podcast updates by visiting www.kellyhanlinmccormick.com Submit your questions to me by CLICKING THIS LINK.

I don't know about you, but I looooove to put my nose into other people's business. (Except I do know about you...I'm guessing you do this, too. Only about 100% of my students and friends and family do it. 🙃) I mean, from our vantage point, we can so clearly see what they should be doing, right? If they would just behave, if they would just cooperate, if they would just do it the right way then all our lives will be easier. * sigh * The cost of taking your eyes off your paper and nosing around to see what someone else is doing is HUGE. And that's what we're going to talk about on today's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast. Using a cute little story I like to call: the neighbor's dandelions. What are we looking for when we try and control someone else? Are there any upsides? And what are the consequences? Join me for today's show and let's discuss… Full show notes are located at: www.kellyhanlinmccormick.com/podcast/249 Be sure to join my email list so you don't miss announcements, new classes, and podcast updates by visiting www.kellyhanlinmccormick.com Submit your questions to me by CLICKING THIS LINK.
