Martha Beck: How To Overcome Anxiety

LiSTNR
About this episode

What does it really take to free yourself from anxiety? Not just manage it, but truly move beyond it?

Oprah once said Martha Beck is “one of the smartest women I know.” A Harvard-trained sociologist, bestselling author, and world-renowned life coach, Martha has spent decades guiding others to reclaim their peace, purpose, and power. 

In this intimate and eye-opening conversation, Martha joins Sarah Grynberg to talk about her groundbreaking new book Beyond Anxiety, and the practices that helped her move from crippling fear to radical inner freedom. She unpacks the neuroscience of anxiety, the myths we believe about control, and how we can all access the quiet wisdom that already lives within us.

You’ll learn:

*Where most anxiety comes from.

*A simple technique Martha swears by.

*What it actually feels like to live in alignment with your truth.

*The biggest misconception we have about healing, and what to do instead.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or afraid to trust your gut, this episode will change the way you see fear and yourself. It’s a deep breath for your nervous system, and a reminder that peace isn’t something you chase. It’s something you remember.

Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck is available now in all good bookstores and online here.
