The End Anxiety Podcast: with James Meade and Friends James G. Meade

Talk about trauma. Katie Love grew up virtually an orphan after her mother committed suicide. She was then adopted into a Jehovah's Witnesses household and she went knocking on doors spreading the Word, but she felt trapped by all the regimentation. What did TM do for her? “What TM did for me,” she says, “was it took all the tools that I had, like therapy, books, my love of nature, and put it all together. Set it on a course of easy, relaxed thinking.” Now she is a published author and a stand-up comedian, and she doesn’t get butterflies before a show any more. And TM fills her with creativity. So what about the trauma? Ancient history for her now.

Twenty-year Air Force Vet George Washington’s life was pretty much a disaster. Homeless (living in his car and a motor home), mentally disabled, unemployed and unemployable, addicted to alcohol and marijuana, divorced. Hear his story of transformation on today's episode of the End Anxiety Podcast.

TM Teacher Ron Pero shares stories of watching transformations as people he’s instructed shed anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and PTSD in this intimate discussion with Jim Meade. He describes remarkable results from the first day, but warns that twice a day TM is necessary for complete effects.

Many of you may recognize Lea Little’s name from her tenure with the Home Shopping Network, where she hosted pitching the advantages of a multitude of products from electronics to beauty products to jewelry, and almost anything else in between. She did it with poise and beauty, and an exuberant attachment to everything she presented on the screen. Lea has that certain magic which makes it clear that sales is more than simply her occupation, it’s her gift—a combined belief in what she is doing and belief in herself that helps her to always connect with her audience. So why does someone like Lea Little need TM? She’s at the top of her game and she seems to be doing just fine. In today’s episode we talk about what TM can do for the high-performance individual to achieve and maintain peak potential. Lea will be the first to let you know she is an ambitious person, but that ambition is driven by compassion and a desire to help others; during the program she goes on to quote another great salesperson, Zig Ziglar with his statement, “Selling is helping.”

As legendary figures in American music go, few are as significant or as prolific as the Wrecking Crew; a loose collection of Los Angeles based studio musicians who initially merged together as session players for producer Phil Spector. They went on to define the sound of rock music laying down tracks for the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Monkees, the Mommas and the Poppas, Jan and Dean, and too many others to count. Though at the time they worked in relative anonymity, a few of them did achieve fame as solo acts, most notably Glenn Campbell and Leon Russell. Others, such as Carol Kaye, Hal Blaine, and Tommy Tedesco, have finally received some name recognition among the general public, thanks in no small part to the documentary film “The Wrecking Crew” produced by Denny Tedesco as a loving tribute to his father’s legacy. The creation of such a monumental testament is clearly no easy task, and in Denny’s case it was a labor of nineteen years which strained his family life and left him bankrupt, anxious, and suffering from an extremely protracted case of insomnia. Today, Jim and Denny will talk about how his tireless work on creating this film impacted his life, and how the Transcendental Meditation program helped him to get himself back on track on The End Anxiety Podcast: with James Meade and Friends.
