This episode of Praxis is a deep dive into the world of emotional maturity, focusing on the role of anxiety in our lives and relationships. We kick off the discussion with personal stories on our strong opinions about seemingly insignificant matters (Who knew Mac loathed gum and Katie couldn't drink coffee?) to set the stage for a lighthearted yet profound dialogue.

As we traverse the winding paths of anxiety, we shed light on its various sources ranging from scarcity mentality to double binds and the ensuing tension that arises with responsibility. Unravel the mechanics behind our physiological responses and the 'thinker, feeler, doer' continuum that aids us in managing our anxiety better. We also delve into the intricacies of handling anxiety in relationships, emphasizing the need to distinguish between our responsibilities and those of others.

Wrapping up, we venture into the realm of curiosity, a powerful tool in anxiety management. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' non-anxious leadership model, we discuss how we can embody a non-anxious presence with emotional maturity. Join us, as together, we peel back the layers of anxiety and uncover practical ways to manage it better.
