I was like literally at the edge of like, do I give up on this and go back home?

We've all had those thoughts.

Yeah.

And I realized like, like I have another gear that I just haven't been using.

They need to build themselves up by pushing other people down.

And to me, that's like the.

Yeah, I can't deal with that.

Yeah, I can't have that around. I had a, yeah, I had a, actually had eating disorder when I, uh, yeah, when I grew up that was like connected to nervousness. It is sort of a right of passage. If you go through that, then you have faced like scary things in your mind. And if you're able to like breathe your way through that,

even though it's scary and hold on and like stay centered, then, you know, whatever life throws

at you then, you know, you've been to boot camp. You know, that's sort of my mission in life

that I'm not going to pass that family tradition down to my kids. Do you feel more comfortable performing emotion than expressing it in real life?

Can you let things go?

Do you still feel like you have something to prove?

What helps you now if you get anxious and nervous?

What do you do?

Did you get hurt?

You're listening to Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum.

Thanks for joining us. You know what? We've got a dog in here. Ricky likes to stay here. That's Ricky. He feels safe. Ricky really likes to hang out. I don't know about you, but do you, well, you don't have an animal, but how many you guys out there just wake up periodically or you're just lying there and you're going, yeah, I just want to kiss and hug my dog.

I do it all the time.

Like I bother them.

Like my dogs get bothered.

It's too much.
