Owning It: The Anxiety Podcast

Sign up to Owning It Real Time HERETW: We discuss suicide in this episode. This week on Owning It I am joined by a former uni classmate of mine, Yvonne Keane (now an incredible photographer) who shares with me her experience of being diagnosed with bipolar. The anxiety and depression that preceded the diagnosis for Yvonne, what life with bipolar is like for her, a mother of one, the anxiety around getting such a diagnosis and how we can better support those in our lives who have been diagnosed with this illness (formerly referred to as 'manic depression'). I am very grateful to Yvonne for highlighting such an important topic, being so vulnerable and open with me and educating me on something that's not often talked about.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.

Sign up to Owning It Real Time HERE For this episode I am joined by author of The Career Change Guide Rachel Schofield to talk about career change anxiety. We are anxious about change but there's rarely as significant a life change we're all likely to make as when we change up our work. Maybe you're wanting an entire overhaul in a new direction or you're wanting to start that business you've always thought would be worth doing but fear and anxiety have held you back. Here, Rachel answers your questions as well as talking through her 5 steps to figuring out what to do. The book is available now and widely stocked.

She shares her incredible journey of fertility with me from the perspective of anxiety. The anxiety of not knowing if you'll get pregnant, the anxiety of looking for a reason as to why you're experiencing miscarriages, the anxiety of not knowing how your future will look and coming to terms with possibly never arriving at that happy ending. She also shares her experience of anxiety through the surrogacy journey and how she takes care of her general day to day anxiety since becoming a mother. Read When Dreams Come True here.

Access Owning It Real Time HERE Republishing one from the archives as it is one of my most listened to, and therefore most helpful episodes of all time.I think this might be the most insightful and informative episode I've shared to date where Dr Michael Keane, Behavioural Neuroscientist and founder of actualise.ie, talks me through exactly how our brain functions when it comes to anxiety and how we are best posed to take back control. I've never had someone explain how our brains work and how anxiety can happen in the brain in as digestible a way as Dr Keane does here. We talk about everything from the neuroscience stance on mindfulness, the power of language to enhance or reduce our feelings of anxiety, how we can strengthen our prefrontal cortex to down regulate the limbic system and how incredibly normal it is that we are all walking around this world feeling a little bit anxious. If I had heard this conversation five years ago I would have been so incredibly reassured; I hope it empowers you to know that you absolutely can OWN IT.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.
