Here is the full 10 min interview: stevecortes.substack.com/p/tough-enough… And book link: amazon.com/Tough-Enough-C…

Here, Trey Tucker explains why he wrote "Tough Enough" -- our culture dismisses young men, and they need to be guided and affirmed. No wonder he's a mega-viral video creator on social media! The link to the full interview with me and his book, in the replies...

@RelatablewABS Thank you for the fantastic conversation!

Therapist @TTuck10 came on Relatable to talk about anxiety. I asked him, "If you could define anxiety, how would you define it?" Tucker: "Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown. The verse, 'Be still and know that I am God' used to make me so angry. I'm like, God, what do you mean be still? Like, I got a real problem here. I'm in a storm. Why do you want me to just be still? And what I realized is that the word, and I believe it's "Rapha" in the Hebrew, it doesn’t mean just ‘don’t move.’ It means ‘release your grip.’ The idea that I thought that I had control, that was a lie anyway. If I can start to realize like, yes, the circumstances might happen that are negative or I might be in the middle of a battle right now, but if I can loosen my grip and stop white knuckling it, then I can realize that like oh—God is God, not me, and He’s going to take care of me no matter what happens. That really is the solution to anxiety. It’s not changing your circumstances or slapping meds on it.”
