Anxiety + Grief
Access Owning It Real Time HERE This episode of Owning It explores the subject of grief, with my dear friend Robyn Byrne. Having lost her mother almost a year ago now, Robyn teaches me about anxiety in relation to grief, how it very much can be a feature of grief (when you may not necessarily suspect it) and how it manifests for her, as well as how she's moving through it one day at a time. I hope this episode will be helpful to anyone in the midst of a grieving process or for someone trying to better support a friend or family member who is going through it. Robyn is the host of The Beauty of Truth podcast and a highly in-demand makeup artist in Ireland.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast. Hosted on Acast.

Supporting Teenage Anxiety
Access Owning It Real Time HEREThis is a must listen for parents of teens, teens themselves and anyone who experienced anxiety when they were a teenager. I am joined by psychologist Dr Aoife Durcan (@HighlySensitivePsychologist) as she helps me better understand the teenage brain, our window of tolerance, how it might be for a more sensitive child growing into their teenage years, how parents can support their teenager who is struggling with anxiety, how and why anxiety is presenting during the teenage years and how best to approach it. There is a lot to absorb here and it is highly informative as well as relatable and encouraging. I share my own experience of anxiety as a teen which was very challenging, given how little we knew about it then and how much the stigma was still around.

Is social media fuelling my daily anxiety?
Access Owning It Real Time HERETime for another solo episode - don't worry, I haven't given up on guests - and this time I am discussing the very real impact that social media - Instagram in particular - is having on my daily anxiety at the moment. From social comparison to feelings of not doing enough or imposter syndrome, I have come to the conclusion that social media might be the main fuel behind these uncomfortable feelings. I asked my followers if they were feeling similar and among other stats, 55% said they struggle with the social comparison element of social media. This is a short and sweet episode that just might make you think.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast. Hosted on Acast.
