Description
<p>Dr. Martha Beck (author; “best-known life coach in America”) is about to release a book on anxiety. The international best-selling author – who holds three Harvard degrees in social science and was described by Oprah as “one of the smartest women I know” – specialises in helping people find meaning and integrity in their lives. </p><br><p>In this episode, Sarah and Martha reconnect after 15 years to discuss their takes on the role of anxiety in our lives, and how it can be used to create purpose and direction (tune in to hear about the time Martha “bent a spoon with her mind” for Sarah!). They also share tangible techniques for using creativity to switch out of anxious spirals. Martha’s book, <em>Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose</em> comes out in early 2025.</p><br><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p>Here’s the <a href="https://sarahwilson.com/2010/07/sunday-life-a-chat-with-oprahs-life-coach-martha-beck/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">newspaper column</a> I wrote about my first meeting with Martha in 2010.</p><p>I refer to previous podcasts with <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ee/podcast/dr-jill-bolte-taylor-the-neuroscientist-shows-sarah/id1548626341?i=1000536178783" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Jill Bolte Taylor</a> and <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/iain-mcgilchrist-our-wretchedness-is-a-left-brain-issue/id1548626341?i=1000669864970" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iain McGilchrist</a>, and another on the role of creativity with <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ian-leslie-why-your-future-depends-on-getting-curious/id1548626341?i=1000627646103" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ian Leslie</a>. </p><p>You can read more about Martha's work <a href="https://marthabeck.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> and connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themarthabeck/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG here</a>. </p><p>Preorder a copy of her upcoming book <a href="https://marthabeck.com/beyond-anxiety/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose</em></a></p><br><p>--</p><br><p>If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "<a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">about</a>" page</p><p>For more such conversations subscribe to my<a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Substack newsletter</a>, it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Get your copy of my book,<a href="https://amzn.to/3vs3tf2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> This One Wild and Precious Life</a></p><p>Let’s connect on<a href="http://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
