Summary
A Special Episode of Calming Anxiety with Martin Hewlett
In This Episode
Something unexpected happened this week. A dear friend of 40 years went behind Martin's back and did something quietly remarkable.
This short episode is Martin's honest, heartfelt response — and an invitation to be part of something that could help thousands of people.
⚓ Support the Anchored App
Martin's friend Lisa has set up a GoFundMe to help fund an Apple Silicon MacBook (M1 or newer) — the essential tool needed to bring the Anchored app to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Right now, Anchored can only be built for Android because Martin simply doesn't have Apple hardware.

| 0:00.0 | Hi there, Martin here. Well, I want to share something with you that genuinely caught me off |
| 0:08.3 | guard this week. A friend of mine, Lisa, someone I've known for 40 years, went and did something |
| 0:15.9 | behind my back, and to be honest, I'm still not quite sure whether to be embarrassed or deeply touched, |
| 0:23.7 | probably a bit of both. Being a former paramedic and a therapist, I am much more used to being the one |
| 0:32.0 | offering the hand than the one holding it out, but this week the role is reversed. |
| 0:39.3 | Lisa has set up a GoFundMe to help me upgrade the engine behind everything I do for you. |
| 0:47.3 | Specifically, we're looking to get a MacBook with the M1 Apple Silicon Chip. |
| 0:53.3 | As many of you know, I am about to release an app called a MacBook with the M1 Apple Silicon Chip. |
| 0:54.4 | As many of you know, I am about to release an app called Anchored and it is on Android only, |
| 1:02.1 | because I don't have any Apple products and I live a very frugal life. |
| 1:07.7 | I need a machine that can handle the heavy lifting. I want to be honest, I wouldn't normally ask, but Lisa asked on my behalf because she has seen the impact the show has had, |
| 1:19.6 | and she wants to ensure the future of these sessions is secure. |
| 1:24.6 | Everything I'm building and anchored, the specialized breathing tools, the deep |
| 1:30.3 | sleep sessions and the ad-free audio. It all runs better and reaches your ears faster |
| 1:37.3 | if I have the right equipment. This isn't about a laptop for me, it's a tool for us. |
| 1:45.0 | It's about making sure that when you're having a difficult moment and you reach for this podcast, |
| 1:52.0 | the quality and the consistency are there waiting for you. |
| 1:57.0 | Because I genuinely mean that. |
| 2:00.0 | And because I want to honour you for your support, I'm making this promise. |
| 2:04.6 | Anyone who donates any amount at all will get a lifetime premium subscription to Anchored. |
| 2:12.6 | No monthly fees, no annly renewals, ever. You will be helping build the foundation of this app, so it belongs to you. |
| 2:24.3 | If you do, just email me, your GoFundMe receipt, and I will personally add you to our founders list before we launch. |
