Mental with Wes Woodson: Recent Episodes
Wes Woodson
Would you ever tell the world an embarrassing secret about yourself?
Probably not. However, this is a series about what happens when one person talks openly about the one thing we often hide most from the world: our mental health struggles. More specifically, anxiety.
Anxiety is the most common mental health challenge experienced in the United States, impacting over 42 million people. However, rarely anyone talks about it openly.
Join Wes Woodson on the journey to unapologetically own anxiety and help others do the same through interviewing real people and experts; one tape at a time.
Today I wanted to tell you about a series of unfortunate events. I wish I was lying. But in a span of one week, I've been interviewed by the FBI and managed to get robbed within 5 days of each other. You just can't make this up people. Although these things are unfortunate, I believe there's a lesson to takeaway. And that lesson is hard to hear: radical acceptance. How the f do we do that?
Let's discuss.

I can’t tell you how many times this podcast has been re-done. Honestly, I almost deleted it before I finally pressed publish. Anxiety can hold us back from starting things, such as starting a podcast. So today, I want to talk about why. Why does anxiety hold us back?
