Dr. Judson Brewer breaks down why anxiety isn’t just an emotion—it’s a habit. We explore how worry gets rewarded, why willpower is a myth, and the real reason so many of us stay stuck. He dismantles the biggest lies we believe about anxiety, from the idea it improves performance to the false comfort of soothing behaviors. At the end of the day, it’s not about managing anxiety. It’s about unlearning it.

27 lessons from 27 years—raw, unfiltered reflections on making moves, trusting your gut, tapping into faith, and learning to let go of needing it all figured out. I break down the power of slowing down, building momentum through micro-actions, and why the best growth happens when you stop obsessing over growth. From back pain to podcasting, this is a blueprint for anyone navigating the messiness of life with heart, conviction, and clarity.

Kelly Gores believes pain isn’t something to avoid — it’s often the portal to who we’re meant to become. We dive into the story behind creating her documentary Heal, the spiritual surrender it required, and why so many people stay sick in a system built to manage symptoms, not address root causes. We unpack the difference between recovery and true healing, the power of language in shaping our experience, and how the body holds a deeper intelligence we’ve forgotten how to listen to. This is a conversation about alignment, trust, and remembering what wholeness actually feels like.
