EPISODE RECAP
Why don’t you start off by introducing yourself and why we’re talking about this topic today (1:53)
That’s a good place to start - what is anxiety and how do we know if we have it? (2:56)
So your first point of call was research - was that helpful? What did you do next? (5:46)
Did your recovery involve anyone else or was it more learning for you? (8:14)
Did it get easier as time went on? How did that journey go? (12:13)
How did you let go of the self pity that you speak about? (13:47)
The way you speak to yourself in your mind makes such a difference. You’ve spoken about gratitude and using that, how did that come into your recovery? (17:29)
How do you let things go? (20:50)
Did you ever have any shame around what you were going through? This is an issue people face sometimes if they feel they shouldn’t be going through it (22:12)
Anxiety can sometimes come out as procrastination or feeling unmotivated or blocking yourself from achieving success. What are your thoughts around that and have you witnessed that at all? (24:49)
I love this idea of ‘earthing’. Can you explain it to anyone who doesn’t know what it is? (27:02)
Often when we’re in pain we’re looking for the answer, the one thing that makes it better. But from what you’re saying it’s never just the one thing, it’s a gradual journey (32:19)
Take the pressure off. That sounds like a good note for us to end on. Do you have a final thought you’d like to leave us with? (33:41)
