On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, Easing Anxiety launched the first five episodes of our new podcast, "uneven." It's a podcast about living life, dealing with anxiety, and surviving the frailties and failures of just being human. Why "uneven," and why now? For the past three years, I have been thinking about a new podcast to host in parallel with "The Benzo Free Podcast." While these two podcasts would have some similarities, they would also have distinct differences. To put it simply, Benzo Free would remain about benzos, while the new podcast would be about anxiety. This new podcast was also to be a bit edgier, more intimate, and less censored than Benzo Free. I would get the opportunity to be more me — and that sounded pretty good. Some may like it, and some may not. I'm not seeking hits or likes or subscriptions here. It's just me, sharing the struggles that I, and many of you, deal with day in and day out — and making plenty of mistakes along the way. If even a few of you find that helpful, then it was a success in my book. In January 2023, I started recording episodes for this new podcast on my road trip to Florida. I still didn't even know what I would call it, but I just kept recording. Eventually, I settled on the name "uneven," because for some of us life is a bit askew, a bit off-kilter, a bit uneven. A couple of months later, I had over two dozen episodes in the can — but I still wasn't ready to release them. Then, on my way home from a road trip to Arizona, I learned of the tragic loss of my friend, Dr. Christy Huff. It was devastating, and after two weeks of emotions and sorrow, I remembered that nobody is promised tomorrow. So, it was time. Release Schedule Over the next week or two I will release all 30 episodes that I have already recorded, with at least one episode posted each day until I am caught up. Yesterday I posted the first five, this morning two more, and tomorrow another one. During this time, I will not post each release to our mailing list so as not to inundate you all with too many emails. Instead, I will post a periodic summary of recent releases until our queue is empty. You can always find the latest episodes on our website, on our podcast carriers like Apple and Spotify, on social media such as our X feed, or on our YouTube channel. Once I am caught up, I will post at least one new episode per week, maybe more. I've streamlined my podcasting process for "uneven," and I'm excited to try it out. Here are links to the first seven episodes. I hope you'll check them out: Episode 1 — a not-so-perfect start | florida road trip Welcome to “uneven,” a podcast about life, anxiety, and finding our way in this chaotic world. This is the first episode, part of our “prequel.” It’s raw, on the road, and from the gut. We’ll figure out the rest as we go. Thanks for stopping by. Episode 2 — a bit about me | florida road trip This is the one where I share a bit about me. Every podcast needs one of these episodes, and this is the one. The road trip takes us to a park in Lenexa, Kansas where we also explore life’s interruptions, values, beliefs, and my hopes for the new year. Episode 3 — waterfalls and comfort zones | florida road trip Cloudland Canyon State Park, Georgia. Sitting near a waterfall on a wooded trail. A brief recap of our time in Nashville. And a look at our comfort zones, and why testing those limitations can be so beneficial. Episode 4 — judgment, blame, & connection | florida road trip Road Trip update. Orlando, Florida. Solo again. The loneliness epidemic in the world today. How do we stop judging, blaming, and isolating, and start connecting? Also, a bit homesick, pondering the long drive back with some challenging weather. Episode 5 — an evening in galaxy's edge | florida road trip Late night in Galaxy’s Edge, Hollywood Studios, Disneyworld. Despite the sound quality issues, I take a few minutes to share my experiences people watching, being alone in a crowd, and why I’m a 58-year-old theme park junkie. Episode 6 — relationships, depression, and a hotel room | florida road trip Slidell, Louisiana. Wind howls against the motel window as I struggle with a bout of depression, still far from home. We explore the fear of dying alone, the art of compromise in relationships, and the benefits of kindness and understanding. Episode 7 — gratitude and three laps at walmart | florida road trip Ideas for the podcast come from everywhere, including the Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana. After a very brief encounter at a nearby Walmart, my morning depression lifted, and gratitude became the focus of the day.

Christy Huff passed away on March 5, 2024. This page is dedicated to her memory. Donations may be made to the Christy Huff Memorial Fund for the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition (BIC) at benzoinfo.com. BIC also welcomes your memories of Christy at bic@benzoinfo.com Memories of Christy, from D Today, March 14th, is Christy's funeral — and I still have no idea what to say. Christy was a dear friend, and my closest ally in the benzo community. I wanted to do something today in remembrance of her, so I chose to set up this tribute page. It will remain as a permanent part of our website, and is only the second tribute page we have ever set up — the other was for Professor Ashton. That might give you some idea as to Christy's importance. I am not going to review Christy's accomplishments here. There are resource links at the bottom of this page if you'd like to learn more about Christy, make a donation in her memory, or just share your thoughts with others. Instead, I just want to say a few personal words here about the Christy I knew. For almost five years, a week rarely went by when I wasn't in a meeting with Christy preparing a presentation, creating training or a research paper, or doing something related to benzo awareness. She was a valued colleague and a good friend. She has been a big part of my life in recent years and her absence leaves a hole. A big hole. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Christy is kindness. Yes, she was very intelligent. And yes, her dedication to those who have been affected by benzodiazepines was unwavering. But for me personally, I'll remember her most as a kind and humble human being. And since those are traits that I value the most, that made her pretty amazing. The second thing that comes to mind was her love for her family. A year or two ago, I remember a series of Zoom calls where Christy would appear on screen with what some might call "unusual" makeup — and each time, we would laugh about it. It turns out that her daughter would use her computer when she was not on it and change the makeup filters for her camera. It was all just part of being a mom, and it was clear that Christy loved it. The last time I saw Christy in person was last year. She was invited to speak at a conference in Boulder, Colorado, and my wife and I met her for dinner. We had good Italian food, wandered around the Pearl Street Arts Festival, and wound up the evening eating ice cream outdoors as the sun set behind the mountains. It was perfect. Good friends enjoying each other's company — and that's how I want to remember her. I am proud to say that Christy was my friend. I will miss her dearly. With a sad heart, D Obituary for Christy Huff from Greenwood Funeral Home and Memorial Park Read the original notice here: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/dfw/name/laura-huff-obituary?id=54587491 On Tuesday, March 5, Laura Christine (Christy) Huff, MD, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and sister, went to be with the Lord in Heaven at the age of 47. Christy was born to Lawrence and Kerry Mitchell in Wichita Falls, Texas. As a child, Christy excelled in academics and music. She placed 7th in the 1987 Scripps National Spelling Bee, played viola in the TMEA All-State orchestra, graduated with honors from Wichita Falls High School, and was an accomplished pianist. She graduated summa cum laude from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. During that time, she continued playing viola in the university orchestra as well as the Abilene Philharmonic. She subsequently attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern at Dallas, graduating with Alpha Omega Alpha honors, playing in the Irving Symphony, and meeting her future husband. She completed an internal medicine residency at Washington University in St. Louis, followed by a cardiology fellowship and a cardiac imaging advanced fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern. Christy was married in 2007 to Joshua Huff, MD, in Dallas. She worked as a cardiologist at Fort Worth Heart until shortly after the birth of her daughter, Kathryn, in 2011, who was the light of her life. Christy enjoyed caring for and being with her family, traveling, cooking, sewing, playing in the church orchestra and praise band, and being a dog owner. Unfortunately, Christy was subsequently confronted with several medical challenges, including becoming a breast cancer survivor. The most significant of these was illness caused by the prescription benzodiazepine, Xanax, which caused her incredible harm in a short time despite being taken as prescribed. She endured three long years of debilitating sickness while slowly tapering off the medications. Her experience inspired her to become a leader in the field of advocating for patients injured by these medications and educating physicians about the potential long-term harm of these drugs. She became the medical director at Benzodiazepine Information Coalition and gave many interviews and presentations at medical conferences. As a result of her personal experiences and advocacy for others going through the same, hundreds have testified of their appreciation and gratitude for the help they received from her. She overcame so much, but the damage caused by these medications was deep and ultimately cost her, her life. She was immensely loved by her family and was a respected colleague. She will be remembered for her dedication to her cause and her family, as well as her determination and intelligence. Christy is preceded in death by her father. She is survived by her husband; daughter; mother; and sister, Missy Mitchell-McBeth. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Christy Huff Memorial Fund for the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition at benzoinfo.com.
