"Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen." -Robert Bresson

On today's episode, Abby and Margot welcome their next guest Drew Davis. Drew is a local 28 sheet metal worker and draftsman as well as a competitive table top gamer. His anxiety journey began in childhood as he was regularly emotionally and later physically bullied in school. This caused him to have a severe lack of trust in others and led him to question his self worth. The mental narrative remained insecure and negative into adolescence and early adulthood until everything came to a head one night when suicidal thoughts drove him to the beach, unsure of what was next. Drew bravely shares how he slowly but surely was able to come out of the shadows and find light in the dark..and how ultimately he's found confidence, resilience and joy in building community through gaming and hobbying in forming "Team Drews Basement." With the love and support of his wonderful wife, happy son and super dog, he continues to stand up for himself in all situations, and use his natural leadership skills to help others to find solace and strength through their own anxiety through using creativity. This episode is jam packed with honest and powerful reflections, valuable tips and hopeful inspiration.
