Episode notes
On this episode of Unheard Stories, host Marcus welcomes James—a courageous guest who opens up about his journey from living in the shadows of anxiety and trauma to building a life rooted in bravery and hope.
With raw honesty and vulnerability, James describes the isolating grip of panic attacks, the exhaustion of living in constant fear, and the turning point that made him choose to fight for his life instead of letting anxiety define it. Marcus guides the conversation with compassion and curiosity, asking the questions we’re all thinking and creating a space where nothing is off-limits.
Together, they explore:
• The reality of being “broken”: What it’s like when anxiety and trauma shape every moment.
• The quiet breaking point: How a single, soul-crushing night sparked a decision for change.
