107 — Dealing with Panic Attacks with ABC News Reporter Matt Gutman
Panic attacks and anxiety are common. But almost no one talks about how to deal with them.
For years, Matt Gutman, the Chief National Correspondent for ABC News, kept his panic attacks secret. He worried what people would think if he revealed his mental health struggles. After years of suffering in silence, followed by years of searching for help, he's written a book to help others learn how to cope with panic attacks. Some of the things he shares are the link between anxiety and his childhood trauma, the treatments he found most effective, and the steps he takes to manage his mental health.

103 — How to Find Peace in the Unknown with Professor/Author Brian Klaas
The fear of the unknown can cause us to over-plan, micromanage, and worry about things that are beyond our control. But coping with uncertainty feels uncomfortable.
According to author/professor Brian Klaas, many of the things that shape our lives aren't really within our control. A chance meeting at the grocery store might have a much more profound effect on your life than where you went to college. His book Fluke explains the role chance and chaos play in our lives. But he says everything we do is still important.
Some of the things he talks about today are how to embrace radical uncertainty, accept things that you can't control, and recognize why every little thing you do matters.
