The anxious achiever is the podcast about your mental health and your work where

leaders from top companies, entrepreneurs, athletes, celebrities, and leading

experts share how they've managed through anxiety, depression, and other mental

laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel seen, and you'll learn great tools and skills. And I

guarantee you're gonna look at leadership in a new way. Come find out why we won
