Let’s be honest for a moment. Life is a lot right now. Many of us are walking around feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed, trying to hold it together for our families, our jobs, and the people who depend on us—often while quietly wondering if we’re doing any of it “right.”
Tonight is not about labels, diagnoses, or sitting on a couch talking about your childhood. This is not therapy.
This is about Real Life.
Our goal tonight is simple: to have an honest, practical conversation about how to feel better, connect better, and create more calm and happiness — using tools you can actually use tomorrow morning. No jargon. No pressure. No fixing yourself. Just small shifts that make a real difference.
So take a breath. Enjoy your food. Be present.
You don’t have to solve everything tonight—you just have to be here.
Welcome to Stressed. Anxious. Overwhelmed: How to Get Yourself and Your Family Happy—Without Going to Therapy.

MENU FOR THE EVENING
INSTRUCTOR
Randy Floyd, LSCSW, Founder
Randy is the founder of Midwest Anxiety. He is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker who is an optimist and passionate about helping people focus on what they can do rather than what they can't do. Randy believes building a strong therapeutic relationship and tapping into a person's strengths are the most essential components of the therapeutic experience. Randy is passionate about changing the way we do mental health. He is focused on making mental health normal, a positive experience. He is also adamant about doing mental health differently. Randy believes the "old ways" suggest mental health is for the "broken" or "mentally ill." Randy believes that "Everyone Struggles." Sure. Some people struggle more than others, but everyone struggles with something. With this belief, Randy is focused on providing a wide range of programs and services to help people be mentally well ;) Go give Randy a fist bump on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
