Description

What if anxiety isn’t something to battle, but something to listen to?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jodi Richardson is joined once again by psychologist Harriet Iles for a deeply compassionate conversation about learning to befriend anxiety rather than resist it. Together, they unpack how reframing your relationship with anxiety - by approaching it with curiosity, kindness and self-awareness - can transform the way it impacts your life.

You’ll learn:

  • Why anxiety is a messenger, not a flaw

  • The difference between fear and anxiety—and how to respond to both

  • How to build your capacity to move through discomfort instead of getting stuck in it

  • The lifestyle pillars that support nervous system regulation

  • Practical, everyday strategies for grounding, soothing and resetting

Whether you live with an anxiety disorder or simply feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures, this episode will leave you feeling understood, equipped, and empowered.
