For many, anxiety is crippling.  And its prevalence and continued growth in our daily lives is not only keeping us from becoming the people we are destined to become - it’s pushing many of us to turn to substances for some form of relief.

On today’s show, I talk about how to turn anxiety into a superpower with Adam Hill.

Having faced anxiety for most of his life, in college Adam turned to alcohol to help him come out of his shell and become a bolder version of himself.  But like so many of us who struggle with anxiety self-medicating can lead to addictive patterns, and while it appears to work at first, it can lead to destructive tendencies.

After hitting rock bottom, Adam not only turned his life around, but he found a way to use his anxiety to serve himself and others.
