Episode Overview
You don’t need to get rid of your anxiety to feel better.

In today’s solo episode of The Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein challenges the myth that anxiety is a problem to fix—and shows you how to see it for what it really is: a protective, human process that you can learn to live with, not fear.

This episode will help you:

▪️Understand the real purpose of anxiety (and why it’s not a flaw)

▪️Spot when anxiety becomes harmful—and how to stop it from running your life

▪️Defuse from the “I’m just an anxious person” identity

▪️Practice 3 research-backed tools to create space from anxiety and reclaim your sense of agency

▪️Learn the bus driver metaphor to remember: anxiety may be along for the ride, but you’re still in control

If you’ve ever thought, If I could just get rid of this anxiety, everything would finally feel better, this episode is your wake-up call. You don’t have to be free from anxiety—you can be free with it.
