You Have To Love Being You Before Anyone Else Can | Mike Wood #social333podcast #172
In this episode of the Social 333 Podcast, host Chris D. Bentley sits down with Mike Wood, author of One Brave Breath: The Owner’s Manual for Being Human, to discuss anxiety, depression, trauma, negative thought patterns, self-worth, and the process of becoming more comfortable with who you are.
Mike shares insights from his 30-year personal journey with anxiety and depression and explains how fear, past experiences, and negative beliefs can shape the way people see themselves and the world around them. The conversation explores how anxiety can keep people focused on future scenarios while depression can keep them trapped in the past, and why recognizing these patterns can be an important step toward changing them.
Chris and Mike also discuss gratitude, self-love, negative thought loops, the influence of childhood experiences, surrounding yourself with people who elevate you, and practical tools that can help people break destructive patterns and create a healthier relationship with themselves.
