Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

Well, it's only just a matter around. It's only just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you late. Welcome, welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson, so honored to get to spend this time with you.

stressed, anxious, worried, maybe in desperate need of a vacation? Well, just for the record,

I am all four those much-needed times away. Did you know that millions of hours of earned vacation

go to waste

every single year because Americans refuse to slow their pace and get some rest? However, sometimes

the stress we're feeling isn't about our need of a vacation. It's about something altogether

different, something even deeper. My guest today writes this. Most people think their anxiety,

depression, or unrest is caused

by their circumstances. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of people who are anxious or depressed,

who do not have circumstances to match their level of unrest. And on the flip side, many people

with extremely intense lives and life circumstances can live without such torment. So what is at the

root of unrest, really?

How do we eliminate it?

Well, first you have to believe that you can, that you can have rest,

and you can be still even in the midst of the chaos.
