Heal Squad x Maria Menounos 853. Embracing the Superpower of Fear, Anxiety, and Panic w/ Matt Gutman
Hello Heal Squad! We have a very special episode for you today as we have ABC’s Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman here with us and we are discussing the inspiration behind his memoir ‘No Time To Panic’ and his journey with anxiety and panic attacks. In this episode, we discover how Matt, driven by the expectation of perfection, found himself grappling with fear and feelings of failure. In a time when anxiety was seldom discussed, Matt shares his struggle of being attracted to chaos while silently battling anxiety. Unveiling the paradox of the courageous coward, Matt explores how anxiety became his unexpected superpower.
You don’t want to miss this candid conversation as we discuss the normality of panic and the profound realization that it is not a genetic flaw but an integral part of the human experience. Make sure to come back for part 2 where we learn about various strategies for dealing with anxiety and panic that may be outside of what we normally go to.
