Owning It: The Anxiety Podcast

Access Owning It Real Time HEREIn this audio guide as part of Owning It Real Time, I step through the feelings of anxiety as or after you scroll on social media as well as consuming the news in high volume via your smart phone. There are many reasons why this can make us feel anxious but here I hone in on our threat response being activated by negative news and the impacts of social comparison. Together we address the anxiety, unpack why you're feeling it and try to settle the mind and body so you can move beyond it.Order yourself (or for a friend) a copy of my new book, Everything I Wish I'd Known About Anxiety: A Roadmap out of the Overwhelm and Back to Yourself here Follow me on Instagram @CarolineForan and @OwningItPodcast, on Tik Tok hereSubscribe to my weekly Substack here (not always anxiety related, often parenting related)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.

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. 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.

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.Order yourself (or for a friend) a copy of my new book, Everything I Wish I'd Known About Anxiety: A Roadmap out of the Overwhelm and Back to Yourself here Follow me on Instagram @CarolineForan and @OwningItPodcast, on Tik Tok hereSubscribe to my weekly Substack here (not always anxiety related, often parenting related)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.
