In an eye-opening and powerful episode, Andy talks to Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), one of the most powerful members of Congress, about the debilitating anxiety he faced for years and his road back. Smith tells Andy about the fight against his inner voice that stirred his self-hatred, no matter how much he accomplished and how many people he helped. In his own revealing moment, Andy shares his own challenges with anxiety with Adam and his listeners.
