Ranny: Career selection is based not just on monetary gain, but also on prestige and identity. She says we so want our parents approval because it feels like these are the people who biologically are forced to love us. But sometimes they can't help but what they really mean when they say "i want you to be happy in your life," she says. Ranny: We as adults do have called responsibility and opportunity to remind ouurselves of our own inherent self worth.
#367: Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, many commentators have remarked that we’re living in an “epidemic of anxiety.”
More than 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety, and countless millions more notice themselves “acting out” against their responsibilities in smaller, self-sabotaging ways: procrastinating, lacking motivation, grappling with an inability to concentrate.
In today’s episode, Dr. Ellen Vora, M.D., discusses both the internal and environmental factors that can exacerbate anxiety. She talks about nutrition and sleep, as well as the fact that, frankly, your job just might suck.
She applies these ideas to tactics that allow us to better handle our finances, investments, careers and lives.
Dr. Ellen Vora holds a B.A. from Yale University and a medical degree from Columbia University. She’s a board-certified psychiatrist.
