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.

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.

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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 Time to talk about therapy again.

Sometimes we go through something that you think would bring a huge amount of anxiety down on top of us, but it doesn't hit us until we're out the other side. That's exactly what happened for Deborah Somorin. Here she shares her story - documented in her new book Believing In Me - about being taken into care at the age of 11, becoming homeless and pregnant and welcoming her baby boy when she was just 14 years of age. Despite the adversity she faced, Debbie went on to achieve incredible things and it wasn't until she was living a 'normal' life that anxiety eventually reared its head, along with imposter syndrome.

This episode of @owningitpodcast is specific to those of us struggling with anxiety as we parent our kids. Namely, it's about how to regulate yourself so that you can help to regulate your child when their emotions are so erratic (which they are, naturally, at such a young age). How to handle tantrums, meltdowns, hard days and irrational toddlers without being left reeling in stress and anxiety yourself.  For this episode I am joined by world renowned self regulation expert Dr Ethan Kross, neuroscientist and psychologist and New York Times Bestselling Author of Chatter. He's also a parent so he just gets it. I hope you find it useful! Follow me on Instagram at the link above. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast. Hosted on Acast.

For this episode I am honing in on the world of boundaries. Here's the thing: boundary setting can give us anxiety in the first place, but living our lives devoid of boundaries can give us anxiety in the longterm which is what we don't want. I am joined here by 6-time New York Times Bestselling Author Melissa Urban, CEO of Whole 30 and now the author of The Book of Boundaries to talk about this unrecognised source of our collective anxiety, how to handle boundary push back, why a lack of boundaries gives rise to anxiety and why it's important that we also work on how we perceive other people's boundaries too.

It's not a setback, it's a bump in the road. In this solo episode I talk you through how to frame it when you go through little wobbles with anxiety. It doesn't mean you've gone backwards.

This week I am joined by host of Private Education podcast and sex and relationships expert Aisling Keenan. Our topic? Relationship anxiety. I get a whole lot of DMs with questions relating to relationship anxiety so I thought it was time I did a special episode covering some of the ways in which anxiety can show up in relationships and ask Aisling how one might best move through that. From recovering from a break up to worrying that you'll never meet a suitable partner, we try to cover a lot of ground here. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.
