What to Do When Your Anxiety Doesn't Go Away

You've tried to push through it. You've prayed about it. You've told yourself to just focus on what you can control. But that low-grade anxiety—about your marriage, your kids, whether you're actually making the impact you thought you would—it's still there. Every morning. Every drive home. Every time you sit down to dinner and feel like you're a million miles away.Marc and Joel get it. They've sat across from guys who've built incredible careers but can't shake the weight they're carrying. In this conversation, they talk about a guy obsessing over his teenage daughter, a leader who couldn't let go of things outside his control, and a simple image—a red quarter in a field of silver ones—that shifts everything. Oh, and the balloon illustration might make you say, “oh, that’s definitely what I feel like.” They don't just validate the struggle. They walk through the questions they ask themselves (and the men they coach) when anxiety won't let go: Is this thought true? Is it helpful? Is it necessary? And they share what happens when you stop white-knuckling the things you were never meant to carry in the first place.This isn't about grinding harder or "finding balance." It's about identifying what's actually yours to hold—and what you've been gripping that's crushing you from the inside out.Don’t know what to do about that nagging low-grade anxiety you don’t like to talk about?
