From "Have To" to "Get To": The Mindset Shift That Crushes Anxiety

After more than two years away, Dan Candell — your Anxiety Relief Guy — is back to relaunch The Anxiety Relief Revolution! In this reboot episode, Dan shares life and business updates, including closing his large training center, moving into a more aligned office, getting married in a Harry Potter–themed wedding, and how personal changes have shaped the way he helps clients.

Dan introduces the three mentalities of life — Have To, Choose To, and Get To — and explains how shifting into the "get to" mentality, supported by four transformative pillars (radical acceptance, trust, patience, and letting go), can eliminate stress and create lasting peace of mind.

This episode sets the stage for an exciting new season of deep dives, guest conversations, and practical strategies to break free from anxiety.
