What if anxiety isn’t something you need to eliminate, but something you can approach with curiosity?
In this first part of a two-part past conversation, Kelly speaks with fellow Canadian minimalist, musician and international bestselling author Humble the Poet about changing the way we respond to anxiety so we can experience less stress and more calm.

How sitting with uncomfortable emotions can build emotional strength
How societal pressures can contribute to anxiety and overthinking
