IAA 19: I'm Anxious About The New Normal

I'm Anxious About - A Humorous Podcast About Anxiety

Allison and Chris knew that recording this episode had to be done eventually, and that they also had to use the term "the new normal," much to their chagrin.

They break down why this period has been difficult for those with anxiety or mental health challenges, but, since Chris, ever the optimist, is one half of the podcast, they also address potential silver linings. In a bit of a change of pace, Allison and Chris focus heavily here on the present, with the idea that these musings on the present day might help listeners with their mindset moving forward. They also, as usual, used this as free therapy for themselves, so don't think it was all selfless.

For those interested, here's the study from the American Journal of Psychiatry on exercise referenced in the episode.

Chris also mentioned his Ontario travel website, and since he is writing this description right now, he's going to shamelessly self-promote that site.
