Panic Attacks, Hurricanes, & An Amazing College Kid

The last two weeks have been a lot in the Holderness house. First, Hurricane Helene has devastated the western part of North Carolina, where some of Penn's family still lives. So many people lost their lives and whole towns were wiped out. Before we could even wrap our minds around it, Hurricane Milton was barreling towards my hometown in Florida. Enter an ill-timed panic attack. This week we talk about how to have grace for someone living with anxiety, what professions we would have been if we followed our elementary school passions, and most importantly, we talk to Ethan Clark.

Ethan Clark is a 21-year old college student and founder of North Carolina’s Weather Authority. He gained national attention for sharing real-time weather information during Hurricane Helene. Ethan has been running the NC Weather Authority since the 7th grade. He has over 600,000 followers and he has not missed a day of posting since 2016. He is an inspiration to Penn and I - we were so happy to have him on the show. You can learn more about Ethan here: https://www.ncwxauthority.com/. If you're looking to donate to western NC, check out our blog post.
