#19 Worry, Anxiety, and a Poetry Reading That’ll Blow Your C*ck Off

Don't know about you, but Max and Matt both kind of wish somebody had told them that having kids meant signing up for a lifetime of worry. Some of that anxiety is inevitable. As parents, we all have to reconcile the fact that our favorite tiny humans will go out and encounter a world that can be scary and unpredictable. And as mammals, it's our job to protect the offspring, so the Mama/Papa bear instinct needs to be strong. But how do you keep that natural parental worry from slipping into its unproductive big brother, persistent anxiety - especially in an era of rapid change, nonstop incoming information, and 24/7 news that's designed to scare the sh*t out of us. The Boys dive into it all, from sweating it around swimming pools, to pouring over finances, and hand-wringing about the state of the world. The chaos of life isn't going anywhere, so it's all about getting ourselves in a place to meet that uncertainty with confidence and calm. Sleep, exercise, the great outdoors, therapy - Max and Matt talk about the tools and practices they lean on to quiet those internal voices that like to freak the f*ck out. Let's do this!
