Life in Rhythm with Terry Williams

About this episode

Ericka Graham and Terry Williams discuss anxiety, living with intention, and insights from Williams' book 'Life in Rhythm'.

In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Terry Williams for a conversation about anxiety, rhythm, and what it looks like to live with more intention in a world that constantly pulls us into fear and overwhelm. Together, they explore the relationship between the brain and the mind, why so many of us get stuck in survival mode, and how curiosity, awe, and faith can help us move toward healing. Terry shares insights from his book Life in Rhythm, reflecting on everything from emotional regulation and the neuroscience of fear to the importance of rest, wonder, and paying attention to what is happening beneath the surface. Along the way, Ericka and Terry talk about shame, anger, music, surrender, and the small but powerful space between reaction and response that can change the way we move through the world.
