  • The Best!

    These guys are the real deal - both have lived through anxiety disorders and have come out the other side. As someone who has dealt with GAD, panic attacks, etc etc I am so thankful for Josh and Drew. There is a lot of info out there, and a lot of misinformation, but following the advice of Josh and Drew is what helped me. You have to be courageous and brave but you can do it! So very thankful for this podcast 🙏👏.

  • This is the One!

    Josh and Drew are great! If you grapple with anxiety, OCD, GAD, panic disorder, etc., listen to this podcast. They don’t endorse new age junk treatments; They use techniques with years worth of evidence to back it up. Plus, they both have dealt with anxiety and panic themselves, so they get it!
