5 Ways to Master Anxiety Fueled Irritability
Hello! It's been a while since I've produced a podcast so today is indeed a good day. Why now? Honestly I'm not sure why I chose today to release a new podcast.

The world has gone mad. It's always been a little nutty I guess, but it seems like things have shifted into a new kind of crazy. I can't possibly explain all the reasons why the world has gone mad, but what I can say with certainty is that much of your anxiety is not entirely of your own making. In fact, I think the modern world has placed human beings in a very bizarre place. A place where people are more like robots created to fill a role rather than live a life. Maybe that's an exaggeration, who really knows, but from the looks of things it
