Agree, the article had me invested in the issue of anxiety but the sales pitch at the end made the whole article a little disingenuous. But it was still a good read. I think if the sales pitch was separated into another section below, so that it doesn't seem like it is part of the article, it might've worked a little better.

It makes me wonder a little bit. Does the author want to help the reader out of his good will or is it purely for profit (and a clever way of copywriting)? or is it both?

Thanks for the suggestion! I believe I gave enough tools and practical tips that someone can try and apply in their daily life for free and I was doing that before with my podcast too while not charging anything. I can see your concern, but I also don't see anything wrong with offering something while charging money for it. If the suggestions in my article helps at least one person to feel a little bit better and motivated to start incorporating some changes in their life, then, I accomplished my goal and I haven't charged anyone for anything. The program is optional, I didn't mention anything about it until the end after sharing my story and what helped me. But I can see your point!
