Ep. 10: How to Find Your Way When You've Lost Control

Why it works: It's a direct, high-intent title that speaks to a universal pain point. People actively search for solutions to anxiety and feeling out of control. This title promises a guide.

Episode Description (Show Notes):

After a three-month hiatus, Anish returns with the most personal and vulnerable episode of Still Becoming yet. He opens up about the storm of anxiety that led to his break—a perfect storm of a massive financial decision and the professional uncertainty of widespread layoffs at his company.

This episode is a raw, honest look at what happens when our brain's addiction to certainty is shattered by the static of the unknown. It's a deep dive into the physiological hijacking of anxiety and a search for the tools that can bring us back to solid ground.

Anish shares two profound, unexpected moments of grace that provided a user manual for navigating the storm: a simple, three-rule lesson from a paddleboarding priest, and the unshakable, anchoring faith of his mother. This is a conversation about finding your direction when you're lost in the waves and holding on to an anchor when you feel adrift.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Hiatus: An honest explanation for the three-month break and the power of returning to the messy, unfinished parts.
• The Neuroscience of Anxiety: A simple, powerful metaphor for why uncertainty feels like a biological emergency (and why it's not your fault).
• The Horizon, The Paddle, The Grip: A practical, three-step user manual for navigating anxiety, inspired by the rules of stand-up paddleboarding.
• The Anchor of Belief: A moving story about the power of borrowed faith and a mother's love to regulate our nervous system.
• Finding Your Own Anchor: A guide to identifying the people, places, practices, and ideas that can hold you steady in your own storms.

It’s two in the morning, and your brain decides to reopen its coldest case: a past mistake, a moment of shame, a decision you regret. Welcome to the late-night court case against your past self—a trial where you are always found guilty.

This episode is a deep, compassionate dive into the universal struggle of self-forgiveness. Anish opens his own coldest case file—"The Ghost of Potential"—sharing a raw, personal story about being a gifted student who lost his way and the "what if?" that has haunted him for years.

This isn't just a conversation about regret; it's a toolkit for healing. It’s a permission slip to fire your inner prosecutor and a guide to transforming your inner courtroom from a place of judgment to a place of profound context and compassion.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Inner Prosecutor: Understanding the true, misguided job of your inner critic (and how to give it a new one).
• The Ghost Self: A powerful way to understand the grief we feel for the versions of ourselves that never came to be.
• Inherited Ghosts: Acknowledging the family scripts, cultural messages, and traumas that we carry but did not create.
• The Court of Context: A life-changing framework for shifting from self-judgment to self-understanding.
• A Compassionate Cross-Examination: A gentle, three-question practice to dissolve shame and build empathy for your past self.
• An Embodied Practice: A simple, somatic tool to connect with your body and calm your nervous system when painful memories arise.

For many of us, prayer is the most awkward conversation we've ever had. It can feel like a performance, a negotiation, or a desperate text message sent into the cosmos, leaving us waiting for a "divine read receipt" that never comes.

This episode is a deeply personal and inclusive exploration of prayer for the modern world. It’s a permission slip to let go of the rigid scripts and find a more honest, intimate way to connect with the mystery of it all. Anish shares his own messy evolution with prayer—from a transactional "vending machine" to a more profound practice of just being present.

This is a conversation for the spiritual, the religious, the skeptic, and anyone who has ever felt like they were talking to the ceiling.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Divine Read Receipt: Why our obsession with getting a "response" is the biggest obstacle to a meaningful prayer life.
• Religion vs. Faith vs. Spirituality: A simple, powerful framework (The Map, The Step, and The Walk) to untangle these loaded terms.
• The Four Stages of Prayer: A guide to the natural evolution of our spiritual conversations.
• The Elephant Metaphor: A life-changing way to understand how prayer and meditation give us the perspective we need to navigate our problems.
• The Prayer of Breakdown: The ultimate, most vulnerable form of prayer, and why it is the key to true healing.
