Can your greatest struggles become the foundation for your best work? What if the way through anxiety isn't eliminating it, but creating something meaningful despite it? In this episode, I sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Jerry Saltz to talk about growing up with profound trauma, living with panic attacks, overcoming envy, and finding purpose through creative work. Jerry shares how years of self-doubt, social anxiety, and rejection eventually led him to reinvent himself, why meaningful work matters more than perfection, and how embracing your own voice can transform your life. Tune in to discover why showing up, creating consistently, and letting go of comparison may be the most powerful antidotes to anxiety.Check out our sponsors:Shopify - Sign up for a $1 per month trial, just go to shopify.com/anxiousachieverChime - Head to chime.com/achiever to sign upMonarch - Use code ACHIEVER at monarch.com to get 50% off your first yearPhysician’s Choice - Use code PCPODCAST10 at physicianschoice.com to get 10% off your entire orderWhatnot - Get free shipping on your first order.
