Fielding Edlow: Finding Authentic Self by Shedding the Bullshit and Grief of "Self"

The Fear Addict Podcast

Super special guest, Fielding Edlow, a smart, hilarious writer, actor, comedian and mom, takes us on a journey from her East Coast origins, coming of age in NYC, while dealing with body image, sugar-addiction and relationship obsession. When she discovered she had a problem with drinking, it was later revealed to her in Alanon that she suffered from that old familiar fear of being unloved and abandoned, but also having a deep-seated fear of actually being seen (we know, it's frikkin' complicated being us). Josh and Mark get down to their own problems with "self" and distorted perceptions, but find hope and strength by sharing how they implement new, learned methods of finding joy, satisfaction, creativity and recovery from obsessive thinking and anxiety. Fielding also shares the tools she's learned to authentically not care-take OTHER people's fears or problems and let go of the exhausting dance we all do of trying to get love and emotional support from basically human versions of fireplugs!
