The Conflicting Relationship Between Language and Learning

An interesting conversation about anxiety and fears with Samantha Lantagne, an English language coach, and facilitator from Canada who has a background in psychology and mental health.

Samantha delivers workshops and presentations on psychology and mental health topics for workplaces and she's a polyglot herself. She speaks English, French, Italian, and Spanish.

It was a long conversation so I split the episode into 2 parts.

In Part 1 you'll hear us talk about:

• Samatha's background
• Samatha's personal story about anxiety
• How anxiety works against the body and causes physical pain

In Part 2 you'll hear us talk about:

• How Samantha helps learners deal with anxiety through recordings.
• A simple technique for dealing with anxiety.
• Advice on how to overcome a fear of flying.
• Changing your thoughts to avoid anxiety and fear.
• My fear of not being able to sleep.
