Episode notes

When Annabelle got lost en route to a party, she felt a panic attack coming on and had to pull over to the side of the road. A friend recommended she try “breathwork”, and 800 classes later, Annabelle is now an expert on pranayama, holotropic and The Wim Hof Method. Sorry. The actual expert on the topic, who with her colleagues created Breathing with Color (pg. 49) , a technique to help children who are victims of trauma and crisis events. And she is a professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University, the world-renowned Robin Gurwitch, Ph.D. This episode features twice as many Gurwitches as others, and just one House.

Do YOU have a tiny victory to share? 

Call the Tiny Victories Hotline: (323) 285-1675

We want folks to share their tiny victories on our hotline because, frankly, we’ll assume we’re just talking into the void every week and nothing matters. Prove us wrong. Did you finally do that thing you were putting off? Tiny victory! Reconnect with someone you haven’t been in touch with for ages? Victory! We only ask that you try to keep messages to under a minute so we’re able to play it on the show.

If you prefer, you can record a tiny victory on your phone and then email us the audio.

About the show

Tiny Victories is the 15 minute podcast that pushes back on the notion that you have to “go big” or “go home”. Sometimes just going is the victory. Each week, hosts Annabelle Gurwitch and Laura House invite listeners to adopt a TINY victory frame of mind, and share tales of fleeting joys and minor accomplishments in this majorly messed-up world.

What’s your Tiny Victory? Annabelle and Laura invite audience members to share stories on the Tiny Victories Hotline. To send in your Tiny Victory, call (323) 285-1675 or record a voice memo of your victory and email the file to tinyvictories@maximumfun.org.

Follow Tiny Victories at @GetTinyPod on Twitter and Instagram.
