Why Anxiety Isn’t Your Problem And What To Do Instead
Join Taylor Welch in this episode of TWC Talks as he dive into the psychology of anxiety, self-image, and performance. He unpacks why anxiety requires time to exist, and how a single 24-hour sprint of doing the hard, necessary work can completely dissolve it. From dopamine fasts in the desert to the power of aligning your daily habits with the self-image you actually want to carry, Taylor explores the overlooked heuristics that rewire confidence and fuel long-term growth.
Through engaging stories and candid reflections, he reveal how shortcuts may feel good in the moment but always lead to misalignment and why choosing the more difficult path usually produces deeper fulfillment. Plus, they share practical exercises for redefining the values you want to be remembered for, and for visualizing how to embody them in your choices this week.
