Dear Paul...

Below is my message to Paul for the 10th anniversary of the podcast. If you haven't emailed one to Brooke (mihhpodcast@gmail.com), I encourage you to do so. She is going to share them all with him at the end of July.

Dear Paul,

When I say your show changed my life, I’m not exaggerating. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a kid. My nerves were so bad for years that I constantly felt like I was going to throw up.

It wasn’t until I stumbled upon your podcast in early 2012 that I realized life didn’t have to be this way. Hearing you and others talk about their struggles and how it’s okay to ask for help made me finally speak up. I went to the doctor and laid it all out. I told her everything. Since then, I’ve been on anti-anxiety medication and I can function normally in most situations. It’s all thanks to you.

I’m just one person, but I know there are many more you have helped. Fuck Mother Teresa, let’s put up a statue of Saint Paul!
