In this episode, I walk through my biggest life lessons from 2025, reflecting on how becoming a parent shook my routine and forced growth in patience, service, and faith.

I share practical strategies for managing anxiety and distraction—widening your gaze to improve focus, creating sacred time, resisting materialism and phone habits, and maintaining a disciplined foundation of sleep, diet and exercise.

This episode dissects the "anxious identity" — how beliefs, values and daily habits (like doomscrolling or bingeing) shape who you are and fuel anxiety.

I explore the higher self versus the lower self, explain how confronting discomfort rewires the brain, and show how small, challenging actions build competence and emotional regulation.
