Helpful + validating

I found myself listening to this podcast several times in various places, over and over again.
The chapters that applied to me I found very helpful. After several weeks I found the last chapter about self-help the most important. I had lost the ability to be me; to be calm, fun, fit n strong, and I too become anxious. Raising two boys has been the hardest challenge of my life. Thanks for the great advice and validation that I’m not on this journey alone.
