Everyone's Going Through Something - Jeff Cavanaugh Shares His Personal Solution for Battling Anxiety and ADHD

The One Big Thing with Steve Campbell

In this episode of the One Big Thing Podcast, I connected with Jeff Cavanaugh, a prominent radio host from the Dallas area. We enjoyed a heartfelt and in-depth conversation about mental health.

As a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, I've admired Jeff's work from afar and have been particularly moved by his openness regarding personal struggles with anxiety and ADHD.

Our discussion sheds light on the often-hidden battles people face, emphasizing the importance of kindness and understanding. Jeff shares his journey, which led him to therapy after experiencing a panic attack that made him realize he needed help. The conversation not only explores Jeff's advocacy for mental health but also provides you with practical insights into living authentically and embracing vulnerability.

Throughout the episode, Jeff's mantra, "You never know what anyone's going through, so be cool to everyone," resonates deeply, serving as a reminder of the compassion required in our daily interactions. This conversation is not merely about sports or celebrity but dives deeper into the human experience, highlighting that behind the personas we see in public, there are real struggles and stories of resilience.

The episode is rich with actionable advice, including the benefits of journaling, the significance of maintaining a support network, and the power of seeking professional help.

Jeff and I encourage all of you to reflect on your own life and the lives of those around you, in order to break the stigma associated with mental health discussions.

Jeff’s journey towards understanding himself, his experiences with therapy, and his decision to speak openly about mental health challenges create a space for honesty and support. This episode serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate their own mental health journey or support a loved one, making it clear that no one is truly alone in their struggles.
