Out of the Fog: Break Free From Anxiety with Wendy Tamis Robbins

Anxiety can rob us of joy, pull us out of the present moment … and it is exhausting. My guest today is Wendy Tamis Robbins, and even as her life looked perfect and high-achieving on the outside … anxiety and panic attacks were increasingly limiting her life. She’ll share how we can free ourselves from the prison of anxiety through self-compassion and the hard work of introspection. Wendy got herself free, and she says you can too.

Wendy Tamis Robbins, author of The Box: An Invitation to Freedom from Anxiety, is a lawyer by day, writer by night, and a “professional panic attacker.” Despite near-crippling anxiety, she worked her way through Dartmouth College and law school before, in her 30s, she set her mind to overcoming the anxiety and panic attacks that increasingly limited her life. For the past 20 years she has worked in corporate finance, creating and preserving affordable housing and lending to underserved communities.
