FREE LIVE TALK AND MEDITATON:
How to Feel Less Anxious
Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, 6pm PT
There’s plenty to be anxious about these days — and our brains are very good at finding even more things to worry about.
The good news is that there are practical ways to calm the body, steady the mind, and feel more grounded even when there’s uncertainty around you – so that your anxiety doesn’t run the show.
Tonight, I’ll be talking about how to be less anxious — including some simple things you can do to turn down the sense of alarm, get out of repetitive worry, and build a deeper feeling of safety and confidence inside yourself.
