Friction Points
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
3w ago
The idea for this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ is something I've personally been practicing with for a while...noticing those little moments or places during the day where things aren't flowing smoothly. When there are hiccups that totally derail my focus. Times when I struggle with something that seems like it should be much easier than it is. ​Friction points​. That's what we're talking about today. Sometimes this is something like: I'm carrying too many things and can't open the car door. Or I keep the lighter in a drawer too far away from where I light candles and I ..read more

Mental Load
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
1M ago
I recently got turned on to the idea of ​mental load​...and I HAD to bring this one to ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​and talk about it with you. Have you heard of this concept? Basically, this is all of the behind-the-scenes, "invisible" work that goes on to get the show on the road. The grocery store runs and laundry and organization and calendar finagling that has to happen to get everyone where they need to go, with everything they need to have, in a somewhat timely and sane manner. It's the thankless, energy-filled effort that goes into supporting the family system, the work department ..read more

Anxiety as an Alarm
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
1M ago
How are you? How's summer treating you so far? Sunscreen, sweat, and late summer nights are all a *thing* over here, and I'm loving it. I went for years craving the fall and winter months; there's something so cozy about that time of year. But I tell ya what: these days, there's something about the brightness and vibrancy of summer that brings me alive in another way. And I'm here for it. I'm curious to hear how it's feeling for you... This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ we're going to explore a metaphor that I hope will really bring your nervous system into color in a whole new way ..read more

Embracing Anxiety w/Karla McLaren
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
1M ago
It's been a while since we've had a guest on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, but I have some GOOD ones lined up for you in the coming months. And we're starting back in with interviews by talking with THE ​Karla McLaren​. I have been reading, leaning on, referencing, and using Karla's books since I first started down the path of this work. The Language of Emotions is one I don't even bother "putting away;" it just has its own spot on the edge of the bookshelf where I can easily grab it throughout the week when I'm teaching and talking with students. Because I DO. Heavy rotation, with that ..read more

Anxiety in Your Body
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
2M ago
Let's go waaaay back to the basics today. I want to pause for a moment and consider what ​anxiety in your body​ looks like and feels like...and how you can approach it. We are taught to fight against, avoid, and try to route around most of our emotions. There's the relentless pursuit of happiness...and anything less is to be dodged at all costs... ...and it does cost us. For this conversation today, ​I invite you to lean towards anxiety a bit​ and consider how this emotion works FOR you and how you can work WITH it...instead of telling such scary stories about it and trying to "fix" it. Let's ..read more

The One About Overwhelm
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
2M ago
Back to school, time for fall, changes are coming...so let's talk about what sometimes happens which is: we get ​overwhelmed​. ? There are a lot of emotional experiences out there and we flow through MANY of them in a day, an hour, a minute sometimes (know what I mean?). But overwhelm is something that doesn't dissipate quite like the others and it requires some special handling. We need to be extra careful with this one. Because: overwhelm can take you out. It can complete derail you and wipe out your sense of confidence, capability, and (let's be honest) sanity. As things gear up for the sch ..read more

Your Magic
The Transforming Anxiety Podcast
by Kelly McCormick
3M ago
Well, I've tried to do this episode a couple of times and I guess this one is tricky to pinpoint and talk directly about...but we're gonna try it anyway this week. We're talking about ​your magic​ on this episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​. What do I mean by "your magic?" I mean: the things that make you YOU. The daily stuff that brings you closer to yourself. The vibe you have when you walk into a room. The little (and big) things that you do, say, create, think up, and offer simply by being here. I think this stuff is *important*. Life-giving, in fact. Because, well, the alternati ..read more
