She discusses the idea that anxiety isn't something to be eliminated, but rather a natural response to uncertainty and responsibility. Carly dives into the work of psychologist Rollo May, who saw anxiety as a signal that something matters. She explains how attentional control can help us break the cycle of anxiety and reconnect with life.
