In this episode of PASSION STRUCK, host John R. Miles sits down with bestselling author and spoken-word artist Humble the Poet to explore the emotional terrain of anxiety, self-worth, and resilience in a world that never slows down. They discuss themes from Humble’s new book Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm, including how modern society fuels anxiety, the trap of overachievement, and how to reclaim inner peace through vulnerability and self-compassion. This episode is a powerful reminder that anxiety isn’t something to fix—it’s something to feel, manage, and grow through. In this conversation, they explore tools and micro-practices to regulate emotion and build resilience. We dig into:
- Why anxiety isn’t a flaw—it’s feedback
- The connection between overachievement and chronic stress
- How shame sabotages personal growth
- Why we mistake success for self-worth
- How to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion
- The dangers of “fast food” emotional connections
