From "What's wrong with me?" to "What's up with us humans?" - with Jeremy Sherman PHD, Researcher & Psychoproctologist

Quiet Connections

What if your panic was organic? What if struggling to say the things you want to say, means you could actually be on the edge of a Word Wise Spiral?
What does it mean to be 'Calm-fident'? And what if we’re all learning how to navigate and steer the wheel along a winding road with limitations and obstacles to look out for, and perhaps sometimes oversteering just a little bit too much?
Sounds interesting right? It is! In this episode, Stacie explores this and more with Origins of Life researcher, and pioneering Pyschoproctologist, Jeremy Sherman, PHD.

Shy until his mid-30s, Jeremy has his own story to share around how he overcame being tongued-tied and feeling anxious. Moving from “What’s wrong with me?” to asking the fundamental question of “What’s up with us humans?”.

Jeremy was truly fascinating to chat with, and we're sure this episode will leave you with some intriguing questions and thoughts to explore and consider for yourself!
