Summary

In this deeply personal and illuminating conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Russell Kennedy—author of the bestselling book Anxiety Rx and the founder of The Anxiety MD —to explore why anxiety has become one of the defining struggles of our time. Drawing from decades as both a physician and someone who personally battled crippling anxiety, Dr. Kennedy explains why so many traditional approaches fall short and why lasting healing requires addressing not just the mind, but the body and the old wounds stored within it. Together they discuss the rising anxiety rates in children, the powerful role of connection and touch, the hidden addictive nature of worry, and practical ways to calm the body’s alarm system and reconnect with the present moment. This thoughtful conversation offers hope and clarity for anyone who has ever felt trapped in their own mind. A huge thank you to our sponsors!
