1
00:00:00,367 --> 00:00:02,936
Oh, man, I am fired up.

2
00:00:02,936 --> 00:00:04,938
Yeah, yeah, I'm just excited.

3
00:00:04,938 --> 00:00:08,041
You know, I love hanging out with you
and love, you know, hanging out with you.

4
00:00:08,041 --> 00:00:12,846
And welcome to another edition
of What's Good with John and Joyce.

5
00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:15,348
It's our 30 minutes.

6
00:00:15,348 --> 00:00:18,685
Each and every week
we can get away from all the bias

7
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:21,688
and all the negativity
out there in the world and just kind of

8
00:00:22,122 --> 00:00:25,125
okay, there's a place I can go to
for a little respite, a little escape.

9
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:26,092
Yeah.

10
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:29,095
Are you I like,

11
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:33,199
I know, mellow, I do, I am yeah.

12
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:37,037
I mean I probably, probably cuz
I worked out got the endorphins going.

13
00:00:43,143 --> 00:00:45,378
But you like to work out at night,
don't you?

14
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:48,014
And I work out
first thing in the morning and just.

15
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:51,551
I'm brain dead all the time.

16
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:52,886
Don't you agree with that? No.

17
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:53,987
My wife's going. Oh, yeah?

18
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:56,990
Oh, yeah.

19
00:00:58,758 --> 00:01:00,360
Yeah, yeah,

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,829
I wake up,
you know, my hair is all sticking up.

21
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:06,132
All right, I don't know, we're,
You're still adorable, Joyce.

22
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:06,800
Come on now.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,267
Come on.

24
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:09,002
Nighttime. I'm all fired up.

25
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,304
You guys are going to bed, right?

26
00:01:11,304 --> 00:01:14,074
I remember the days, you know,
when I would rock and roll all night.

27
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:16,910
Like the song by kiss rock and party
every day.

28
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:20,547
You'd be out till one, two in the morning
and then wake up a few hours later,

29
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:23,750
go to work and actually still perform
your duties and do well.

30
00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:26,052
It doesn't work so much nowadays.

31
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:28,221
I think it's because we get smarter.

32
00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:29,389
Yeah, we do something.

33
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:32,358
I never like going to clubs ever.

34
00:01:32,358 --> 00:01:35,228
Because you have
to scream to hear, oh yes,

35
00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:36,930
right.

36
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,399
I've learned
to speak with people who like.

37
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:41,367
So hey, Joyce,
you know what's going on today?

38
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:42,535
Oh, sorry about that, Stephanie.

39
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:45,238
In the back
in the directors room back there.

40
00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:46,806
I never enjoyed that.

41
00:01:46,806 --> 00:01:49,008
I guess
I'm just always the chatter, right?

42
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:51,544
Yeah. I like to talk to people.

43
00:01:51,544 --> 00:01:55,148
I've being in the radio biz
and performing with the DJ biz.

44
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:57,517
I was always back in the early days.

45
00:01:57,517 --> 00:01:59,119
I was in clubs all the time.

46
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,221
And you're right, I had to be in clubs.

47
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:04,724
But I didn't really enjoy
going to a club as much

48
00:02:05,024 --> 00:02:08,027
because like you,
I like to be able to have a conversation.

49
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,829
Costas, I like going to like a

50
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:12,398
like a hall, like
some of the theaters around here I like,

51
00:02:12,398 --> 00:02:14,901
but the club ambiance is
a little bit different. But

52
00:02:16,102 --> 00:02:17,637
you're here with it.

53
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:20,640
Just so you say that
my hearing is actually it.

54
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:23,143
I don't know how this happens,
but it seems to have gotten better.

55
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:23,877
Okay.

56
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:27,413
I mean, I could be doing a DJ gig, Joyce,
and people could be talking on the floor,

57
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:29,449
and I hear everything they're saying,

58
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:31,518
and I get on the microphone and said,
I heard that.

59
00:02:31,518 --> 00:02:33,386
How did you hear that?

60
00:02:33,386 --> 00:02:33,920
Right.

61
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,323
It's for SB that's right, that's right.

62
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,826
I got my shoe, phone and everything.

63
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,829
Maxwell Smart, though

64
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:45,798
it does.

65
00:02:45,798 --> 00:02:47,033
Juice.

66
00:02:47,033 --> 00:02:48,067
Oh, man.

67
00:02:48,067 --> 00:02:50,370
So what are we
what are we talking about today, Joyce?

68
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:52,939
I think about starting your fears, Yeah.

69
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:53,573
We we?

70
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:57,510
Yes, we are going to talk about that today
because based on your book,

71
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:59,512
I mean, why don't you hold up that book
so people can see it?

72
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:01,814
You need to get this book
if you don't have it already.

73
00:03:01,814 --> 00:03:04,217
I wrote this book for all of us.

74
00:03:04,217 --> 00:03:08,588
You know, a few years ago,
just before Covid.

75
00:03:09,289 --> 00:03:13,092
But, 
the reason why I wanted to write that book

76
00:03:13,092 --> 00:03:16,262
is because there's a lot of books
that's been written about,

77
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,832
anxiety and stress,

78
00:03:19,832 --> 00:03:22,835
and some of it gets very technical,

79
00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:26,206
you know, like how the brain works
and all that which is which is fine.

80
00:03:26,839 --> 00:03:30,176
But I thought,
I was coming from a different place

81
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:33,179
because I lived this.

82
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:36,182
And first of all, I lived it with my mom,

83
00:03:36,182 --> 00:03:39,752
and I didn't know that she had phobia.

84
00:03:40,186 --> 00:03:43,156
And I don't even know
that they use that word.

85
00:03:43,156 --> 00:03:44,023
What does that mean?

86
00:03:44,023 --> 00:03:45,225
The definition for those

87
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:49,762
who really comes from the Greek word
meaning fear of the market place.

88
00:03:51,464 --> 00:03:53,900
But it's not really

89
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,237
the fear of going out
or the fear of socializing.

90
00:03:57,503 --> 00:04:00,607
It could be that you're having panic
attacks while you're sitting at home.

91
00:04:00,607 --> 00:04:04,844
Yeah, it's really a misfiring of,

92
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:09,148
your, you know, like,
what makes you anxious?

93
00:04:09,315 --> 00:04:12,619
It's the, you know, cortisol, baby.

94
00:04:13,219 --> 00:04:15,154
Adrenaline. Yeah.

95
00:04:15,154 --> 00:04:18,157
And sometimes with some people,
they're just.

96
00:04:18,891 --> 00:04:20,059
Here's the good news about it.

97
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:22,595
The good news is highly creative.

98
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:26,366
People get this right, and your brain
sometimes

99
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:30,970
is working on overload,
and you're very fast to do things.

100
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:34,040
You know,
I was always like, a fast walker or fast

101
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,043
talker or whatever, but,

102
00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:39,245
you know, everyone's different.

103
00:04:39,245 --> 00:04:41,114
It's sort of like the thumbprint.

104
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,117
Everyone can experience it differently.

105
00:04:44,183 --> 00:04:46,853
As an example, my

106
00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:49,789
so my mother always had
this, did not know she had it.

107
00:04:50,823 --> 00:04:53,526
She was a great mom because she was home.

108
00:04:53,526 --> 00:04:58,097
Mom didn't drive because
she was afraid to drive and she baked.

109
00:04:58,231 --> 00:05:00,500
So she taught me how to bake.

110
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,568
This woman
is, like, the best baker on the planet.

111
00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:05,571
No, no, I think I have,

112
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,409
I just love to do it.

113
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,612
So my mother was very nurturing that way.

114
00:05:13,379 --> 00:05:16,049
But, there were times as a teenager
especially,

115
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:19,552
is very upset with her
that she was doing certain things.

116
00:05:19,552 --> 00:05:22,555
And I didn't know
that it was because of that.

117
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:27,660
Then in my early 20s, I was walking into

118
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:30,663
what is now a big, wide Branchburg,

119
00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:34,834
and suddenly it just looked like
the floor was tilting

120
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:39,005
and I felt like my heart began to race,
like I was going to faint.

121
00:05:40,239 --> 00:05:42,742
I didn't know what was happening to me.

122
00:05:42,742 --> 00:05:46,379
And to make a long story short,
I began having panic attacks

123
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:51,351
and I didn't know how to really deal
with this.

124
00:05:52,618 --> 00:05:55,488
My mother sought help for herself,

125
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:58,891
but her doctor at the time said, quote,

126
00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:04,464
what you need is a kick in the ass, okay?

127
00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:06,799
And you need to go out and get a job.

128
00:06:06,799 --> 00:06:09,769
Well, she could barely leave her house.

129
00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:11,871
So many people would just poo poo
it back in the day.

130
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:13,773
Like, you know, suck it up type thing.

131
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:17,510
But this is a real, real
serious situation.

132
00:06:18,177 --> 00:06:21,080
This is a very serious situation

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,984
when you don't know how to deal with it,
when you realize what it is

134
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:28,988
and you accept, it becomes easier.

135
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:32,291
So I packed a bag

136
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,396
and I'm
in an appointment to see a psychiatrist,

137
00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:40,867
and my sister drove me to the psychiatrist
in New Haven, Connecticut,

138
00:06:41,601 --> 00:06:44,837
and I thought, he's going to put me in a
in a mental ward

139
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:47,907
because I can't work.

140
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:50,376
I can barely go out and get my mail.

141
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:52,278
I feel like I'm going to die.

142
00:06:52,278 --> 00:06:53,946
But my heart's okay.

143
00:06:53,946 --> 00:06:56,048
I've been checked out.

144
00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:59,051
And I told him my whole story and he said,

145
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:01,888
you are suffering

146
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:04,891
with a generalized anxiety disorder.

147
00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:07,627
And he said,
you have one of the best therapists

148
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:11,597
for this in your own backyard
at the Brantford Counseling Center.

149
00:07:12,665 --> 00:07:17,170
And even though it was a weight off
of my shoulders

150
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:20,540
and this,
I didn't have to be institutionalized,

151
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:23,676
I was still dealing with it.

152
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:28,181
Certain people, when they hear that,
they think they're better.

153
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,149
Oh, I can deal with this now.

154
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:32,351
But it wasn't going away.

155
00:07:32,351 --> 00:07:38,024
So I worked with this counselor for
for many years, and she would say to me,

156
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:41,494
acceptance, acceptance.

157
00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:44,564
And it wasn't really seeping in that

158
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:47,633
this may never go away

159
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:50,636
until you stop feeding it.

160
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:52,972
Fear of it.

161
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:56,375
The moment you start to feel
that feeling again, if anyone out there

162
00:07:57,276 --> 00:08:00,279
has an anxiety disorder,

163
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,715
you understand that

164
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:05,651
you would rather have a broken leg
or a broken arm

165
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:08,654
because people could see it
and sympathize with it,

166
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:11,958
but when they can't see it
and you look normal, right?

167
00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:15,094
And you're always polite
and you leave like a meeting

168
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:18,097
and say, excuse me, I have to leave.

169
00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:19,932
They don't know what you're really going

170
00:08:19,932 --> 00:08:22,935
through inside,
and it's difficult to explain it.

171
00:08:23,269 --> 00:08:26,239
I think it's a little easier now
to to talk about it,

172
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:30,009
but it's different from just saying
I'm stressful.

173
00:08:30,409 --> 00:08:34,514
This is a panicky feeling
that makes you feel like you're dying.

174
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:37,116
And this is a lot more common
than people think, isn't it?

175
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:39,151
Yeah, especially in this day and age. Yes.

176
00:08:39,151 --> 00:08:43,756
Millions of people really,
really silently suffering.

177
00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:45,258
Absolutely.

178
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:48,995
So I went through all kinds

179
00:08:48,995 --> 00:08:53,065
of therapy and it said in this book,
starving your fears.

180
00:08:53,065 --> 00:08:55,701
Like you said, don't feed the fear, starve
the fear.

181
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:57,370
That was a great piece of advice.

182
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:59,105
You starved the fear.

183
00:08:59,105 --> 00:09:02,341
But first I went on my road of, I'm

184
00:09:02,341 --> 00:09:06,679
going to and I'm not putting down crystals
and things like that.

185
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,714
Everything has their place.

186
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:10,850
But I was looking for a magic cure.

187
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,686
And a lot of people told me
that magic cure

188
00:09:13,686 --> 00:09:18,758
and whether it was a chiropractor
that was going to adjust my neck to,

189
00:09:19,525 --> 00:09:22,528
to like either lying on crystal bends

190
00:09:22,528 --> 00:09:27,567
or whatever, I was waiting for the miracle
because I wasn't understanding

191
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,103
what my therapist had told me.

192
00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:36,809
Except, yes,
I just wanted it to go away and

193
00:09:37,843 --> 00:09:40,313
so one day

194
00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:44,250
I, I said to my husband,

195
00:09:45,484 --> 00:09:47,587
I really want to drive.

196
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,590
I want to get out there and and drive, but

197
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:54,193
follow me because I'll feel comfortable

198
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:57,330
and I was, I was
I was going through a really bad time.

199
00:09:58,197 --> 00:10:00,199
And so he did.

200
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:02,134
And I thought,
oh, this is good. I'm comfortable.

201
00:10:02,134 --> 00:10:04,103
This follow me.

202
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:05,271
And guess what?

203
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:10,242
And the biggest panic attack of all,
oh wow.

204
00:10:10,509 --> 00:10:14,313
My hands were so
my hands were more on the way.

205
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:15,648
I could feel them.

206
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:17,783
You were like,
now you were on a side road.

207
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:19,952
I hope not a highway. Highway.

208
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:21,887
Somewhere you could pull over. Yes. Okay.

209
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:23,089
Good, good.

210
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:26,058
You know that, was on the side
that I could pull over.

211
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:29,328
But this is where the magic happened.

212
00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:34,100
And this is where it was
the beginning of the end.

213
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,801
And for me, fully understanding,

214
00:10:37,403 --> 00:10:39,238
I heard her say, am.

215
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:40,873
I had.

216
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:43,175
You have to accept this.

217
00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:46,345
So while I'm driving now, super slow,

218
00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:49,849
I began to say to myself,

219
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:52,418
instead of saying,
oh my God, this is happening again!

220
00:10:52,418 --> 00:10:54,353
I can't believe this. He's behind me.

221
00:10:54,353 --> 00:10:58,958
Let no, I shut that down and said this.

222
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:01,994
Interesting what my body can do

223
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:05,598
is interesting and I watch.

224
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:07,700
My hands were like shaking on the wheel.

225
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,202
So yeah.

226
00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:13,205
And I began to watch my body calm down.

227
00:11:13,572 --> 00:11:16,709
And I did the breathing techniques
that I was taught

228
00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:21,681
and I saw, oh, I can control this.

229
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:25,418
I don't have to feel this fear.

230
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:30,122
And it was in that moment
that everything changed for me.

231
00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:33,759
But I also remember my mother saying

232
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:36,128
my mother had speared,

233
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:38,030
suddenly

234
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:41,033
dying and leaving her kids
and my father not being home.

235
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:43,335
She had a lot of feels like that.

236
00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:46,405
So one day, the things she feared
the most happened.

237
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:49,408
At 52 years old, she had a heart attack.

238
00:11:49,608 --> 00:11:52,611
And I remember
visiting her in the hospital,

239
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:55,981
and she said to me,

240
00:11:56,215 --> 00:12:00,419
if I lived through this,
when I come out, I'm going to live.

241
00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:03,856
I'm going to really live.

242
00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:06,292
And then when she got
out of that hospital,

243
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,061
she was the shape of her life.

244
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:11,530
She never walked alone,

245
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,266
but she began walking for her heart.

246
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:16,268
She began eating differently.

247
00:12:16,268 --> 00:12:19,538
She began thinking a whole new lease
on life.

248
00:12:20,106 --> 00:12:24,944
Wow. Pictured
my mom and dad getting on a plane.

249
00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:28,013
Yeah, and she never flew, right?

250
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,983
No, she couldn't even look at an air.

251
00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:32,818
And she looked like.

252
00:12:32,818 --> 00:12:35,821
I remember seeing that picture,
that big smile on her face.

253
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:37,823
She was ecstatic.

254
00:12:37,823 --> 00:12:41,060
So later on, when I would call home,

255
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:44,363
my, my mom always answered the phone.

256
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:47,700
I remember my dad answering the phone
and they said, Where's mom?

257
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:48,868
He said, oh, she's not,

258
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:53,405
And then I thought, wow,

259
00:12:53,405 --> 00:12:59,411
this is a woman who couldn't drive
unless she was with other people

260
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:02,348
and she couldn't do it. There's
so many things that she couldn't do.

261
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,351
You know, she was in this prison
because she really didn't have the help.

262
00:13:05,751 --> 00:13:08,087
But she began reading a lot of books.

263
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:11,257
I remember one of her
first books was a Norman Vincent Peale.

264
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:12,258
Oh, sure.

265
00:13:12,258 --> 00:13:15,127
So she would pass down

266
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:18,397
these books to me, the power of positive
thinking and all these great books.

267
00:13:18,397 --> 00:13:21,400
That and she shared with me

268
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,905
that she couldn't go into a store,
because if you're waiting in line

269
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,375
and you're paying or you're next up

270
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:33,312
for the at the bank teller,
you have this claustrophobic

271
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:37,516
feeling like, oh my gosh,
what if I can't stand here and pay?

272
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:38,884
What if I have to leave?

273
00:13:38,884 --> 00:13:41,620
And then there's people in front of me,
people behind me.

274
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,923
Where do I go going to be looking at me?

275
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:45,157
What am I going to do?

276
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,893
She had this racing thoughts
and that happened to her.

277
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:49,295
She was in a little store

278
00:13:50,362 --> 00:13:53,766
and she, she left whatever
she was going to buy on the counter.

279
00:13:54,099 --> 00:13:57,102
And she went out of the store
and she fell.

280
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,340
And then she said to herself,
wait a minute,

281
00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:05,778
this must be my mind,
because I'm the same person

282
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:10,082
standing outside the store
that I was standing at that counter.

283
00:14:10,549 --> 00:14:13,552
So nothing really changed.

284
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:15,354
So my thoughts have changed.

285
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:18,123
I learned everything
that's really good deductive thinking.

286
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:19,325
Yeah. Yes.

287
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:21,927
And she was a very wise, wise woman.

288
00:14:21,927 --> 00:14:24,930
So she passed a lot of that on to me.

289
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:28,200
And in this book I pass,

290
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:31,303
I feel like I've been your guinea pig.

291
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:34,840
So you don't have to. Yes.

292
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,843
I don't want anyone to write. You don't.

293
00:14:38,077 --> 00:14:41,013
And someone in the family,

294
00:14:41,013 --> 00:14:44,016
had called me not too long ago

295
00:14:44,149 --> 00:14:47,653
and said
that they were going through this,

296
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:52,124
and they apologized
because they never understood

297
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:55,327
what my mother went through
and what I went through

298
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:58,631
until they went through,
I said, you know,

299
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:01,667
people really don't get it.

300
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:04,870
It's a story, you know,
unless you walk a mile in your shoes,

301
00:15:05,471 --> 00:15:07,907
you don't really know,
but you don't want to be walking a mile in

302
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:10,009
everybody shoes and feel.

303
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:12,978
Yes. You just know that you're not alone.

304
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,048
You're not alone when you feel anxiety

305
00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:19,551
and you feel stress
and you have worrisome thoughts,

306
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:21,887
you get out of control.

307
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:24,156
Like you feel like you can't stop them.

308
00:15:24,156 --> 00:15:27,159
So in this book

309
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:30,529
is to tell you
that you have way more control

310
00:15:30,796 --> 00:15:34,700
than we do have dominion over our body
and what we think.

311
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,636
But but sometimes
you just need a little push.

312
00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:41,440
Sometimes you need to walk
through the wave coming at you

313
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,010
and know it's going to pass right.

314
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:50,215
And everything's going to be calm
on the other side when you lose the fear.

315
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:52,418
And that's why
I call this starving your fears.

316
00:15:52,418 --> 00:15:56,755
If you don't feed a plant, it's
going to die, right?

317
00:15:57,022 --> 00:15:59,258
And we're the same way.

318
00:15:59,258 --> 00:16:02,328
Don't keep feeding what you fear.

319
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:07,099
So if the news bothers you,
you don't watch the news, right?

320
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:09,935
You don't need change the channel.

321
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:13,138
People will tell you something bad
is happening in your neighborhood that,

322
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,074
people love to gossip.

323
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:16,241
They'll they'll tell you, let you know.

324
00:16:16,241 --> 00:16:19,044
Did you hear that, so-and-so?
People love that. Don't they?

325
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:21,113
Yeah. Yeah.

326
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:22,448
Well, we want to change the world.

327
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:26,051
So people talk about what's good,
and that's right.

328
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,254
And when you start to talk about it,
you start to think about

329
00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:32,858
what are the good things
that happen in your life.

330
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,059
Don't focus on that.

331
00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:37,396
A terrible childhood for this or that.

332
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:41,633
No, you are where you are right now, right
and right now.

333
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:45,170
You could start a fabulous life
just like your mom did.

334
00:16:46,038 --> 00:16:47,639
That was a mindset.

335
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:50,042
This woman, I'm
telling you, couldn't do anything.

336
00:16:50,042 --> 00:16:53,912
She left that hospital
and that was in her first plane, right?

337
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:56,949
She went on many planes
and with the anxiety

338
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:59,251
before thinking about,
you know, passing away.

339
00:16:59,251 --> 00:17:01,720
And then she had that heart attack at 52.

340
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,723
She got a new lease
and she started thinking differently.

341
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:08,527
And her life changed to fear in the face.

342
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,562
Right. She said, I'm not afraid.

343
00:17:10,562 --> 00:17:13,165
Don't be to that wave.
Like you said, walk into the wave.

344
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:16,001
And some people, because I've

345
00:17:16,001 --> 00:17:19,104
dealt with hundreds
and hundreds of people with this,

346
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:23,142
they will be so disappointed

347
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:28,313
when they get a panic attack
after they've tried things.

348
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:30,816
I said, no, that's a good thing.

349
00:17:30,816 --> 00:17:32,718
This is your time to practice.

350
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:36,255
Because that feeling may never go away.

351
00:17:36,522 --> 00:17:41,894
Your body may always be like you know
geared to sending out more adrenaline.

352
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,328
Yeah.

353
00:17:43,328 --> 00:17:46,999
You just have to look at it like
I'm just going to practice through this

354
00:17:47,299 --> 00:17:48,100
and look at it.

355
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,335
See, you know I've been here before.

356
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:52,104
You go away. Right.

357
00:17:52,104 --> 00:17:53,472
If it does go away.

358
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:56,475
But don't give it credibility.

359
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:58,977
And here's a good, good trick.

360
00:17:58,977 --> 00:18:02,581
And I know we've talked about this before,
but I think you can never hear

361
00:18:02,614 --> 00:18:05,451
enough, I'm sure. Yep. Your breath.

362
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:10,089
It's all in your breath
the moment you start breathing like this.

363
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:13,892
I guess you just said.

364
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:17,463
And I just sent a message to my brain
that I'm in trouble.

365
00:18:18,163 --> 00:18:21,500
So we automatically go into the fight
or flight.

366
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,536
Yes, but back in the caveman days,

367
00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:28,774
when you had that adrenaline rush,
you had a for a reason.

368
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:31,977
Because you were supposed to run
right for,

369
00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:36,081
We're not doing that today.

370
00:18:36,081 --> 00:18:39,084
You're there
going to get food or be food back then.

371
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:43,355
So while you're sitting at your computer
or you're in bed, even watch a movie,

372
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:48,727
whatever, and you get that panic feeling
your brain is thinking, do something.

373
00:18:48,727 --> 00:18:50,596
It's telling you to do something.

374
00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:54,199
And when you don't do anything
but like say, oh my God, what's happening?

375
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,635
It pumps out more.

376
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:58,036
Why isn't Joyce running.

377
00:18:58,036 --> 00:19:00,439
Why isn't Joyce right.

378
00:19:00,439 --> 00:19:04,943
So it just exacerbates
what's, what's happening within you.

379
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:08,480
But the mom that I'm talking nanosecond

380
00:19:09,014 --> 00:19:11,717
you get breath down into your belly

381
00:19:11,717 --> 00:19:14,720
and you do diaphragmatic breathing.

382
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:18,357
You send a message to your brain
that you're okay

383
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:22,394
and you can't have an anxiety attack.

384
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:25,430
It's impossible
because your brain has shut

385
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:28,433
all those valves off for you.

386
00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:32,004
Now you can get right back
into the panic mode again

387
00:19:32,604 --> 00:19:35,607
but learn to breathe diaphragmatic like.

388
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,911
And I always like to give people
the vision of,

389
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:43,115
thinking of a toddler standing there,

390
00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:46,618
you know, a little diaper on,
and they got that rounded. Yes.

391
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,655
And they're breathing.

392
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:55,761
The moment
they get stressed they're all here.

393
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:56,328
Right.

394
00:19:56,328 --> 00:20:00,132
Yeah a dog, a cat is the same way

395
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,169
when they're, they're just stretched out,
they're belly breathing.

396
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:08,140
But if there's stress
they're barking right here.

397
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:11,743
We're meant to be breathing

398
00:20:11,743 --> 00:20:14,213
through the belly area.

399
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,316
And only when we're speaking,
even when you're speaking of

400
00:20:17,349 --> 00:20:20,352
you can train yourself to
because I do that

401
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,655
as a singer, as a singer.

402
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:25,457
And when you're out there doing public
speaking or whatever,

403
00:20:25,457 --> 00:20:28,627
using that diaphragm,
good posture, shoulders back

404
00:20:30,128 --> 00:20:33,131
and and the biggest trick I learned,

405
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,568
it was through a wonderful book
about breathwork.

406
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:39,605
I wish I could remember like that,

407
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:43,842
but they said that your nose is designed

408
00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:48,080
to breathe, you know, because of the hairs

409
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,749
in our nose and everything,
it captures the, you know, the follicles.

410
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:53,952
And, and so

411
00:20:53,952 --> 00:20:56,955
when you close off one nostril,

412
00:20:57,189 --> 00:21:00,859
taking a deep breath, even if you're
in your car, you could do this.

413
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:02,928
I do this in traffic.

414
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:05,931
It automatically makes you
breathe diagrammatically

415
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:09,134
and then exhale through the nostril.

416
00:21:09,134 --> 00:21:13,438
Also some people
like to take the breath in and go

417
00:21:14,706 --> 00:21:16,775
oh yeah, that's fine too.

418
00:21:16,775 --> 00:21:20,445
But if you can do it just, you know,
you just lean like this and

419
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,448
you take the breath in, breath out

420
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:26,451
like alternating three times,

421
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,288
you will calm your body.

422
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:33,659
And it's it's like a miracle
because you are a miracle witness.

423
00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:37,429
And I do the same thing every morning
along with my workout in the morning,

424
00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:40,432
like a little core
Pilates, yoga exercises in the morning.

425
00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,534
And I spend time breathing,

426
00:21:42,534 --> 00:21:45,504
you know, just breathing
in through my nose, like you were saying,

427
00:21:45,504 --> 00:21:49,007
alternate this and that, and then then
maybe after every 30 times, I'll.

428
00:21:49,841 --> 00:21:52,110
I breathe in real deep and hold it

429
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:56,214
for as long as I can, and I go out slowly,
and I.

430
00:21:56,214 --> 00:21:59,217
Any kind of stress is gone.

431
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:02,621
You can't help but feel good,
because the more oxygen

432
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:05,624
you have in your body,
the less chance of disease.

433
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:07,326
Yes, because there's more ease.

434
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,127
Disease means lack of ease.

435
00:22:09,127 --> 00:22:11,029
The more ease you have in the body.

436
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:13,832
Oxygen,
you know, the more oxygen you have in

437
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:16,835
your body,
the less apt you're going to have disease.

438
00:22:16,902 --> 00:22:21,540
So breathing is extraordinarily important,
and people forget to breathe.

439
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,041
They do, they do.

440
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:25,344
You don't realize
at times that you're holding your breath

441
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,912
or breathing very shallow.

442
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:30,048
Most people you're so right
there as people that are over 30,

443
00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:31,616
35 years old too.

444
00:22:31,616 --> 00:22:33,719
They get less
and less oxygen in their body

445
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:35,187
because they're not sprinting.

446
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,022
They're not running as much anymore.

447
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,091
They're not exercising as much.

448
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:41,093
They're becoming more lethargic.

449
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,628
And, that's that's a dangerous situation.

450
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:47,265
You want to continually expand
those lungs to get air in your body.

451
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:49,000
And exercise.

452
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,303
It's a it's really, really important.

453
00:22:51,303 --> 00:22:53,772
And breathing in
and getting that air in the body,

454
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:56,908
if you could just walk a little slowly,

455
00:22:56,908 --> 00:22:59,911
you know, there's a saying that let's see

456
00:23:00,278 --> 00:23:04,449
if you're lying down,
but you can stand up, stand up.

457
00:23:05,150 --> 00:23:06,752
If you're sitting,

458
00:23:07,986 --> 00:23:09,221
stand up

459
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:14,493
if you can walk, walk
if you can, then put it in a faster walk.

460
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:15,761
Do that.

461
00:23:15,761 --> 00:23:19,364
Because what happens
when you exercise in any form?

462
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:24,169
You're actually telling your brain,
your body that you're alive? Yes.

463
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:27,205
And your body responds to that.

464
00:23:27,205 --> 00:23:30,909
Almost like saying,
oh, John wants to live. Yes.

465
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:33,845
You know, let's let's help him live.

466
00:23:33,845 --> 00:23:34,646
Right?

467
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:39,885
But when you just let go
and you think I'm too old or I'm too sick,

468
00:23:39,918 --> 00:23:43,688
whatever your body response is, oh,

469
00:23:43,688 --> 00:23:46,925
they're too old and and you're prophesize
in your future with that too.

470
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:49,428
And the thing is, we really are.

471
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,397
It sounds cliche,
but we really are ageless.

472
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:55,267
Yes, because, I mean, I know people
that are 20 who are old, by the way.

473
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:57,436
They think, oh, I'm so old now.

474
00:23:57,436 --> 00:24:00,138
I was a guy at the gym
the other day. Can't do what I used to do.

475
00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:02,507
I'm 30 years old now and I'm
thinking to myself, what do you do?

476
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,009
You know who you're talking to?

477
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:06,978
I mean, come on, come on, you know,
but we do.

478
00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:10,215
We do kind of, like, manifest what we say
and what we think.

479
00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:14,486
I've watched people prophesize
that and like, from years of go

480
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:17,823
now I'm not going to be able to do this
right.

481
00:24:17,823 --> 00:24:18,990
I can't do this.

482
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:23,762
And then I look at them today
and I think, yeah,

483
00:24:23,762 --> 00:24:28,633
I may be aging,
but I right now, you know what?

484
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:29,901
We are not aging.

485
00:24:29,901 --> 00:24:33,238
We are using for
we are using we're not used.

486
00:24:33,238 --> 00:24:35,540
No no no no no, I don't know.

487
00:24:35,540 --> 00:24:37,075
That's a whole different show.

488
00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:39,678
But we are youth not aging.

489
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:41,213
Yes, we are.

490
00:24:43,215 --> 00:24:45,817
Think that's right.

491
00:24:45,817 --> 00:24:47,619
Actually it has. Right. Yes. Right.

492
00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:48,286
Mindset.

493
00:24:48,286 --> 00:24:51,556
It, it right
that saying you're as young as you feel

494
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:54,559
we're going to go out
kicking and screaming no matter what.

495
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,127
We're kicking and screaming. So are you.

496
00:24:56,127 --> 00:24:57,696
We believe in you.

497
00:24:57,696 --> 00:25:01,066
So just know that you have more power
than you know.

498
00:25:01,066 --> 00:25:02,234
It's in your breath.

499
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:05,504
It's in the way
you think. And life is good.

500
00:25:05,704 --> 00:25:06,404
It is good.

501
00:25:06,404 --> 00:25:09,407
Listening to us right
now, you have ears to hear.

502
00:25:09,407 --> 00:25:11,209
Maybe you have eyes to see.

503
00:25:11,209 --> 00:25:13,745
Maybe you can walk. Or you could talk.

504
00:25:13,745 --> 00:25:18,049
Focus on what's good in your body,
what's going on in your life,

505
00:25:18,683 --> 00:25:22,554
and know that nothing bad
is going to last forever.

506
00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:25,490
And unless you make it, what do they say?

507
00:25:25,490 --> 00:25:29,327
What 9,596% of what you worry about
never comes to fruition anyway,

508
00:25:29,761 --> 00:25:33,064
we let fear take over
and my my whole motto is faith over fear

509
00:25:33,798 --> 00:25:35,567
has always been
my motto of faith over fear.

510
00:25:35,567 --> 00:25:41,339
So again, starving those fears and just
feeding our faith, feeding positive.

511
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,976
A lot of us have things in our life
that we'd like to change, but

512
00:25:44,976 --> 00:25:47,979
I want to focus on the things that I like
that are good in my life.

513
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:49,214
It's too easy to go down the road.

514
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,816
I wish I had this,
I wish I had that, no, no, no.

515
00:25:51,816 --> 00:25:54,452
You know, just, you know, it's
okay to want to want things.

516
00:25:54,452 --> 00:25:57,956
But as I get older too,
I think more and more about experiences

517
00:25:58,423 --> 00:26:01,726
and friendships more than things,
you know,

518
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,630
the more you appreciate what you have
right now, you may see those things.

519
00:26:06,131 --> 00:26:06,731
You may.

520
00:26:06,731 --> 00:26:09,167
And the more you're more grateful
you're about things,

521
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:10,502
the more goods is
going to come into your life.

522
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:13,638
So we wish that for you.

523
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:14,839
Breathe.

524
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:16,775
Breathe. Smile.

525
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,443
Smile, everybody.

526
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:21,179
Like a Raggedy Ann or Andy doll.

527
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:24,182
Just sitting there limp like this.

528
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:27,185
You can't have a panic attack

529
00:26:27,185 --> 00:26:30,589
because you're diaphragmatic breathing
when you do that, right?

530
00:26:30,822 --> 00:26:33,558
So think of yourself as

531
00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:35,460
and happy and.

532
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:37,395
Yeah, life will be better.

533
00:26:37,395 --> 00:26:40,398
So if somebody calls you Raggedy
Ann, it's a compliment.

534
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:43,401
Your ankle

535
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:45,770
starving your fears, you can get it on

536
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:49,274
and you can do whatever
for literally pennies. So,

537
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:51,242
where else can they get?

538
00:26:51,242 --> 00:26:53,612
Can they get on Amazon?

539
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,012
I don't want to.

540
00:26:54,012 --> 00:26:57,015
First came out it was number one on Amazon
for like 13 straight weeks.

541
00:26:57,749 --> 00:26:58,316
Thank you.

542
00:26:58,316 --> 00:27:01,786
I see how I'm manifesting that you have.

543
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:05,590
Oh I just want you to know I have stories
worth of people that I've worked with

544
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:09,194
and how they came out of their fears.

545
00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:11,930
It's I think it's a great read.

546
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:13,965
It's a it's an easy read.

547
00:27:13,965 --> 00:27:16,968
And every page
there's going to be something on here.

548
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:18,637
I like all the pictures in there too.

549
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:22,073
You know, which which my husband took
these pictures means a lot.

550
00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:23,742
That meant a lot.

551
00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:26,277
And plus, at the outset of the show,
you were saying there have been,

552
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:30,015
you know, books written about this,
but they've been so, you know, technical

553
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:33,618
the way that the way you.

554
00:27:33,618 --> 00:27:34,219
Yeah.

555
00:27:34,219 --> 00:27:38,223
And I like that because the average
everyday person can understand this

556
00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:40,458
and doesn't have to be a rocket scientist
about it.

557
00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:42,961
I'm not talking about someone who.

558
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:43,161
Yeah.

559
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:46,164
I mean, let me just say
also this that the,

560
00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:49,968
the therapist that I saw said
she could understand

561
00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:53,605
what I was going through
because she once had a panic attack.

562
00:27:53,605 --> 00:27:54,906
And then something happened.

563
00:27:54,906 --> 00:27:57,909
She said, well, it's
my first time flying solo.

564
00:27:58,209 --> 00:28:02,781
And I looked like I was running on a gas
and it's like, get out of here.

565
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:05,417
I said anyone would have a panic, right.

566
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:08,286
You're crying solo I said no is it.

567
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:09,387
You don't understand.

568
00:28:09,387 --> 00:28:12,390
These are panic attacks
while you're sitting home watching TV.

569
00:28:12,390 --> 00:28:14,526
Yeah.

570
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:19,698
And that's what made me want to write
this book, from someone who's lived it.

571
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:21,366
Anyway. That's enough.

572
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:22,100
Yeah.

573
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,603
No no no no, I, I think that's great,
I really do, but there

574
00:28:25,904 --> 00:28:27,706
there is, there is hope for for you.

575
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,508
I mean, people like we talk about
all the time don't want to feel like

576
00:28:30,508 --> 00:28:34,345
they're alone and feel like,
is this really just happening to me? No.

577
00:28:34,579 --> 00:28:38,316
There's a lot of people that,
that, that deal with this

578
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:39,718
don't know how to express it.

579
00:28:39,718 --> 00:28:41,886
Like I said,
you get sympathy with a broken arm

580
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:44,889
because people can see it,
but if they can't see, right,

581
00:28:45,323 --> 00:28:47,792
just the amount of angst

582
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:50,795
over the stress that you're living, right?

583
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:52,330
They don't understand it.

584
00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:55,333
Like the doctor said to my mother,
just go get a job.

585
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,036
I went out to coffee recently
with a gentleman who was a dear

586
00:28:58,036 --> 00:29:02,240
friend of mine, who's really suffering
from major anxiety and so many levels.

587
00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:04,642
He just wanted to be.
He wanted to be heard.

588
00:29:04,642 --> 00:29:07,378
I just sat down with him,
listen to and let him talk.

589
00:29:07,378 --> 00:29:09,581
Didn't Pooh Pooh anything he was saying.

590
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:11,182
See? Listen, man, this is a free place.

591
00:29:11,182 --> 00:29:13,351
This is a judgment free zone.

592
00:29:13,351 --> 00:29:15,019
Kind of like Planet Fitness, right?

593
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:17,355
And you could talk to me
and say anything to me, and,

594
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:19,691
you know, it's
not going to go anywhere, right?

595
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:20,558
Because I always tell people,

596
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:23,561
if you tell me something, you say,
I want this to be in confidence.

597
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,765
I will always say,
this is only between me and my wife,

598
00:29:27,031 --> 00:29:31,369
because my wife and I are one,
and they oh, we expect that, you know.

599
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:33,471
And so that's that's
what that's where it goes.

600
00:29:33,471 --> 00:29:34,806
But that's as far as it goes.

601
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:37,709
And they know that
they're not being judged. Right.

602
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:39,544
Because we all have issues.

603
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:40,979
Every one of us has issues.

604
00:29:40,979 --> 00:29:43,748
We all have that in common.
We love you very much.

605
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:46,184
Thank you so much for tuning in.

606
00:29:46,184 --> 00:29:47,452
The what's good with John enjoys.

607
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:50,221
