Zulma Williams' journey from cancer survivor to thriving therapist by the ocean proves age is just a number. Join Anthony Dahya and 'The Swearing Therapist' Zulma Williams as she shares her incredible story of overcoming cancer, abusive relationships, depression, and suicidal ideation to build a life of purpose and joy. Learn how to conquer anxiety by embracing radical presence and identifying the warrior within you.Key Takeaways Age is truly just a number: Zulma started a new career path at 42, graduated at 46, battled cancer, and moved to Panama at 60 to live her dream. Anxiety is about trying to control the future, which is impossible; it stops when you focus on the present moment. Your brain is like a two-year-old: you are the CEO and boss of your mind, not the other way around. Being fully present is the ultimate counter to anxiety and depression, as both are rooted in future or past thinking. Healthy worry is manageable, while an anxiety disorder significantly impacts daily functioning and often requires professional help. You don't have to do it alone: seeking support from therapists or doctors (for medication) is a valid and effective tool for mental health.Chapters 0:00 Living Your Dream Life After 60 1:04 Zulma's Journey: Argentina to Panama 1:41 New Career at 42, Cancer at 46 3:58 Defining Anxiety: Controlling the Future 5:16 How to Counter Anxiety: The Power of Presence 6:45 You Are the CEO of Your Brain 7:59 Eckhart Tolle & The Power of Now 10:52 Worry vs. Anxiety Disorder 11:50 Why Asking for Help is EssentialLinksGuest: Zulma Williams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theswearingtherapist/Connect with Anthony Dahya Champion Mindset Collective AI Workflows Agency LinkedInBe a Guest on the Show
