Dan Harris: A Problem Shared Is A Problem Halved

Sam & Elliot Episode 24

What if the key to a fulfilling life isn't found in achievement, but in connection? In this episode, we sit down with Dan Harris, former ABC News anchor and renowned meditation advocate, to explore the power of deep relationships, the inner struggles we all face, and how mindfulness can change the way we live.

Dan opens up about his infamous 2004 panic attack on live TV, and how it set him on a journey to redefine his relationship with stress, anxiety, and the constant chatter of the mind. He shares candid stories of how therapy, self-reflection, and even a tough 360 review helped him rebuild his personal relationships—giving listeners practical insights on how to navigate their own inner critic.

We dive deep into why connection is so vital to human happiness, how disconnection fuels trauma, and how the simple act of being truly seen can be transformative. Plus, Dan offers real-world advice on managing conflict, sharing how we can turn difficult conversations into opportunities for growth rather than battles for victory.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by their inner voice or struggled to connect authentically with others. Tune in to discover how mindfulness can not only calm your mind but also deepen your relationships—and maybe even save them.
