1. Overcoming Social Anxiety: A Journey To Emotional Freedom With Kam Knight Nick McGowan 35:53

“I just allow the feelings to take over, and as long as I sit in it, they tend to subside.”

In this episode, Nick speaks with Kam Knight about the complexities of social anxiety, emotional intelligence, and the journey of self-discovery. Kam shares his personal experiences with social anxiety, the impact of his upbringing, and how he navigates emotions in various situations.

What to listen for:

• Social anxiety can stem from childhood experiences
• Sitting with emotions can lead to Clarity and insights
• Vulnerability is key to overcoming personal struggles
• Expressing feelings can alleviate the pressure of holding them in
• The importance of finding supportive spaces to share experiences
• Self-mastery involves recognizing and overcoming mental blocks
• Desire alone is not enough; action is required to achieve goals

“The more I sit with my emotions instead of fighting them, the more they lose their hold on me.”

• The more you fight an emotion, the stronger it feels. Sitting with it allows it to pass naturally
• Feelings, no matter how overwhelming, always change. Letting them flow instead of suppressing them helps you move forward
• Observing emotions without reacting gives you power over them instead of letting them control you
• Facing emotions head-on, even the tough ones, builds resilience and self-awareness

“Healing comes from allowing yourself to feel, without fear, without judgment, and without running away.”

• True healing happens when you give yourself permission to experience emotions fully, rather than avoiding them
• Avoiding emotions out of fear only prolongs pain
• Being hard on yourself for feeling a certain way only adds to the struggle
• Distractions and numbing only delay the inevitable
• Every feeling has something to teach you
