Ep. 7: Anxiety, Control, and Letting Go

from Built, Not Given™ · host Jake Strickland

Anxiety isn’t always loud.Sometimes it’s racing thoughts. Sometimes it’s silence that feels too heavy. Sometimes it shows up when life is actually going well.In this episode, I open up about dealing with anxiety my entire life — the overthinking, the paralysis, the self-sabotage, and the lie that “guys don’t feel this.”This isn’t an episode about curing anxiety.It’s about understanding it, separating it from intuition, and learning how to move forward one small step at a time.If you’ve ever felt like your mind won’t shut off… this one’s for you.You’re not broken. You’re not less. And you’re definitely not alone.Built, Not Given™Connect with me - Jake.Strickland.com
