An excellent episode, thank you for sharing. It was a courageous thing for you to do. I suffer anxiety of things as well though it would be more accurate to call it fear. A childhood incident left me with a fear of drowning that thus far I have been unable to overcome. So I'll probably be a non-swimmer for the rest of my life.

I also fear falling but I've come a long way in regards to that thanks to Airborne School in the Army and jumping out of planes. A chute failure prevented me from graduating from the school but I at least now know that if I have to I can bail out of a perfectly good aircraft.

Something I've considered but have had a lot of anxiety about is starting a podcast of my own. I have no idea what it would be and the anxiety I feel about nobody caring has held me back. In that you have provided inspiration as you do something I haven't heard on podcasts before and that is sharing your own anxiety about it. So who knows, maybe that will be in my future.

As always thank you for sharing your experience.
