95. Why on earth is it so hard to rest? w/ Octavia Raheem, Rest Coach, Author, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Speaker
Can you trust that you’ve done enough even when there’s more to do? If your answer to that question is no, my hope is that listening to this week’s guest will help you answer differently.We’re conditioned to be productive, to achieve more, to do more to tick more things off our list. There’s always more to do, there always will be. But what sort of a life are we living if we never stop to reflect, to recharge, to unwind, to rest? So many, including this week’s guest, know all too well that if we don’t do it for ourselves, eventually, we’re forced to stop through burnout, sheer exhaustion, or illness.Olivia Raheem shows us how slowing down, stillness, and intentionally taking care of ourselves gives us the space to breathe and recognise that we are enough, despite what we do; and that we can gain freedom from the ‘always on’ culture that tells us otherwise.Here are links to share:www.octaviaraheem.comwww.pauserestbe.comRest resources: https://www.octaviaraheem.com/rest-resourcesThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

92. Shaky hands, social phobia and self-medicating anxiety with alcohol w/ Megan Webb, Alcohol Recovery Coach, Co-Host She's Sober Sydney Podcast
Meg Webb’s Generalised Anxiety Disorder started young and originally presented as constant worrying. It was incredibly difficult, but not a symptom others would notice. The anxiety she was struggling with eventually became more conspicuous during a high school presentation when her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Later, in her first job, she experienced daily dread that she’d be asked to do something that would mean her colleagues would notice her shaking. She wouldn’t eat or drink in social situations and eventually found them all too difficult. Eventually, Meg self-medicated with alcohol, which only made her anxiety worse. In her 40s, she became curious about sobriety and embarked on a journey that not only freed her from alcohol but also reduced her overall anxiety. This newfound freedom led Meg to discover her purpose as an Alcohol Recovery Coach.Meg works with women in their midlife who are wanting to find a freedom from alcohol, and uses tools for this and for reducing anxiety in their life, and also for finding their joy and passion.She is a certified This Naked Mind coach, a nutrition coach and a teacher’s aide for children with autism. She also previously worked as a photographer but now enjoys photography as a hobby. She is Mum to three beautiful children and lives on Sydney’s Northern beaches.https://glassfulfilled.com.auShe’s Sober SydneyInstagram@glassfulfilled@shessobersydneyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

91. What doesn’t kill you… w/ Paul Taylor, Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist and PhD student in Psychology
Over 10 days of freezing, starving and being ‘hunted’, during brutal resistance to interrogation training with the British Royal Navy, helped inoculate this week’s podcast guest against the stresses of daily life. Events and situations that would have previously caused grief felt like ‘water off a duck’s back’; sparking an epiphany. Paul Taylor realised that psychological and emotional stress stimulated adaptive, protective responses in the same way exercise, physical stress, does. In this conversation Paul explains the good, the bad and the ugly of stress, how our perception of stress changes its affects on us for better or for worse, what’s happening in an anxious brain, how we can all build physical and psychological resilience and so much more.A former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul Taylor is a Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist who is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group & The University of Tasmania.MindBodyBrain Project Podcastwww.mindbodybrain.com.au@mindbodybrainpiDeath By Comfort bookwww.paultaylor.bizThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
