Thank you – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
As this year metaphorically mumbles, gurgles and grumbles its last words before finally succumbing to its inevitable passing, I’d like to use my last words of 2020 to say thank you to everyone for reading these weekly pieces, either on my site at cobsalad.com or through the barefootdoctorworld.com emails and […]

How To Deal With Anxiety In Today’s Turbulent World
Okay, so besides the normal day to day hustle and immense stress of daily living in the modern world, we also have an ongoing pandemic to contend with. Unfortunately, dealing with anxiety has become somewhat of a normal part of life for many people in the world today. Although this […]
Open Up Again – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
When you find yourself in a hole, and the hole seems deeper every day and the sides steeper in every way, when you keep on slipping towards the bottom and all the good things have been forgotten, and the size of your life closes in and feels so small it’d […]
