About this episode

Anxiety, sadness, depression. Sometimes life feels heavy and hard. It's in those moments when we may feel like we're suffocating and can barely breathe. I see you and want you to know how loved you are.

In this week's episode of The Second of Strength podcast, host Tanner Clark, gives 5 tools and tips to help you regain control in the moment of struggle.

Anxiety can be debilitating. Depression can leave you feeling helpless and hopeless. My hope is that his episode will give you a little bit of light in the darkness.

Remember, dark cannot exist where there is light. If you want to find hope in the darkness, lean into the light.
