    Anxiety Club with Wendy Lobel

    Send us a text What if anxiety didn’t have to be a private battle? In this episode, we sit down with Emmy Award–winning director-producer Wendy Lobel, whose 30-year career includes work with PBS, A&E, VH1, MSNBC, and Nickelodeon. Her feature debut, Anxiety Club—blends humor, evidence-based therapy, and the power of storytelling to make mental health feel more human. In Anxiety Club, comedians like Tiffany Jenkins, Joe List, and Eva Victor pull back the curtain on panic, OCD, and social dread—revealing how avoidance keeps fear in charge and how small, repeatable steps can build real ease. Through sharp humor and on-camera exposure therapy, the film transforms “run from it” into “move toward it,” reminding us that the antidote to anxiety isn’t control… it’s courage. Wendy shares why comedians became the perfect storytellers, how the mantra “Maybe it will, maybe it won’t” helps people tolerate uncertainty, and what the CBT triangle (thoughts, feelings, behaviors) teaches us about changing the patterns that keep us stuck. We also explore everyday tools; like meditation, box breathing, exercise, and medication—that create balance in real life. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this level of anxiety normal?” or “How do I support someone I love when I can’t see what they’re feeling?”—this conversation offers clarity, empathy, and next steps you can start today. We also highlight the film’s festival journey, community screenings, and where to stream Anxiety Club at home. 🎬 Watch the film: jolt.film Find more about Anxiety Club on the website or IG. 🎧 Listen now, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

    Redefining Community: Why Meaningful Connections Can Trump Massive Networks

    Send us a text Have you ever felt like an outsider because you don't have a massive social circle or aren't constantly surrounded by people? You're not alone. This raw, unfiltered conversation tackles the uncomfortable truth about community in our social media-driven world. We're challenging the notion that bigger is always better when it comes to our connections. Community doesn't need to look like packed events or extensive networks to be meaningful. Sometimes, it's found in the quiet moments of deep connection with just one person. As Greg vulnerably shares, "I've always felt like something's wrong with me, that I don't have a big community," many of us have silently wrestled with the same doubts. Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, we explore how life stages naturally affect our communities, and why that's perfectly okay. Greg's experience building intimate musical collaborations reveals how powerful one-on-one connections can be, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond what's visible on the surface. These small connections often hold more meaning than the larger, more visible communities we're taught to pursue. Social media has redefined community in both beautiful and harmful ways. While it connects us with like-minded individuals we might never have encountered otherwise, it also creates unrealistic expectations when we compare our own communities to what we see online. We discuss how to navigate this tension and find authentic connection on your own terms. As Cameo shares her journey of releasing her book and feeling pressured to build community "the right way," she reveals the freedom found in authenticity: "I don't have to play that part anymore. I want to just be me." This sentiment echoes throughout our conversation—community isn't about following a formula but creating connections that matter to you. Listen now to discover why "it doesn't have to be loud to be powerful" and how to build meaningful community your way. Share your thoughts with us about what community means to you and how you've found connection in unexpected places. Support the show More Cameo - Word up!
