Why do some people constantly prepare for the worst while others seem able to stay rooted in the present?

In this episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore anxiety and depression through the lenses of self-trust, childhood conditioning, the nervous system, identity, and Eastern medicine. Lindsay shares how worrying became a form of protection—mentally rehearsing worst-case scenarios so she wouldn’t be caught off guard—and why anxiety often points to a deeper fear that we won’t be able to handle what happens next.

They also discuss how the language we use can turn a temporary emotional experience into an identity, the connection between creativity and emotional expression, and the ways food, media, stress, and our environment may influence how we feel. Dr. Perry offers simple practices for interrupting rumination, including speaking your thoughts aloud, walking meditation, grounding, and becoming more intentional about what you allow into your mind.

This conversation is an invitation to stop automatically absorbing everything around you and begin asking: Is this mine? Where is this feeling coming from? And what is it trying to show me?

Because anxiety isn’t necessarily who you are. It may be an experience you’re moving through—and a signal calling you back into a deeper relationship with yourself.

Stranger Than Human is a podcast about the deeper mechanics of being alive — where holistic medicine meets energy, consciousness, and the questions most people are afraid to ask out loud.

Have you ever traveled somewhere and suddenly felt more energized, inspired—or more like yourself?

In this episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore how where we live may shape far more than our mood. From the identity we embody and the motivation we feel to the ways our bodies respond to climate, seasons, air quality, water, mold, EMFs, and the energy of the people around us—our environment may be influencing us in ways we don’t always recognize.

They also unpack why certain places seem to bring us back to life while others leave us feeling stagnant, uninspired, or physically unwell—and whether our bodies intuitively know where they’re meant to thrive.

Could changing your environment change your health, your energy, and even who you believe yourself to be?

Press play for a wide-ranging conversation about location, identity, Eastern medicine, natural healing, and learning to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you.

What if the beliefs you've spent your entire life defending aren't actually yours?

In this thought-provoking episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore the unseen forces that shape our reality—from religion and childhood conditioning to consciousness, neuroplasticity, intuition, and the deeper questions of why we're here.

Together, they discuss:

• Why questioning your beliefs may be the key to personal freedom
• The difference between religion and spirituality
• How childhood experiences become subconscious programs that shape your life
• Neuroplasticity, memory reconsolidation, and the possibility of rewriting old patterns
• Past lives, near-death experiences, and the nature of consciousness
• Highly sensitive people, intuition, and what it means to be deeply attuned
• The changing state of human consciousness and our connection to the Earth
• Why healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you've always been

Whether you're deeply spiritual, scientifically curious, religious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation isn't about giving you answers—it's about asking better questions.

Because sometimes the most profound transformation begins the moment you're willing to question everything you thought you knew.
