🎙️ Welcome to Pete vs Anxiety — the mental health podcast that’s breaking the stigma and starting the conversations we don’t have enough of.

Each week, I sit down with mental health experts, advocates, and everyday people to explore their wild, honest, and inspiring mental health journeys. Together, we’re proving that it’s okay to talk about what’s really going on inside.

Because remember — don’t just ask, “How’s your day?”
Ask, “Hey!!! How’s your mental health?” 💭

🗓️ New episodes drop:

Monday, Wednesdays and Friday

There’s plenty of Pete to go around — so tune in, laugh a little, feel a lot, and join the movement to make mental health talk normal
