| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. |
| 0:27.0 | In today's episode, I wanted to talk about reading and how you can read your way back to peace and calm. |
| 0:38.3 | Anxiety has gotten us very far away from feelings of peace and calm and I wanted to touch in today |
| 0:49.1 | about reading and reading your way back to that state of peace and calm. I received an article in my email. |
| 0:57.8 | I think it was just an email. I don't think it was a blog post, but it was from Chris Kresser and I'm actually |

| 2:36.6 | First, a couple of little tips here out of this email from Chris Kresser. |
