Triggered by anxiety? Here’s why that’s not a setback We’ve been taught that if something triggers us, if a wave of anxiety hits out of nowhere, it means we’re not coping well. That we’re stuck. That there’s something wrong with us. But that’s not what’s happening. In this video, I share a personal story about something traumatic that happened when one of my dogs was hit by a car (he survived, don’t worry). What followed — the anxiety, the flashbacks, the fear of repeating th

In this short video, I share a powerful personal story about one of my closest friends, who is currently facing a potentially life-altering health crisis. It’s a stark and emotional example—but also a deeply human reminder of something important: 💡 We are far more resilient than we think. I explore: Why we think  we can’t handle certain things—and why that’s just the mind talking The difference between imagining a crisis and actually living through one How real strength show

Have you ever felt completely consumed by worry or anxiety about something that hasn’t even happened yet? Your mind racing, trying to figure it out, plan it out, solve it ahead of time? If so, here are two powerful questions you can ask yourself: Is this happening now? Often, our anxious thoughts are about something in the future—a flight, a job interview, a conversation, an event. But when we stop and ask, Is this actually happening right now? , we create space between ours

Always running late? Stressed before the day even starts? It might feel like the problem is your schedule—or your life—but it’s not. What’s really driving the rush and overwhelm is something much deeper (and far more solvable). In this video, I break down what’s actually  happening when you feel frantic, behind, or like you can’t keep up. It’s not about time. It’s about a state of mind that makes everything feel urgent—even when it’s not. This insight can change how you exper

In this video, Suzie Yeulett and I dive deeper into the topic of anxiety at work, a common issue that many people face. We discuss how situations like high-stake meetings or presentations can feel intimidating and often trigger fear.

For example, two people can have entirely different reactions to the same fairground ri

In this video, I dive deep into the concept of overthinking and how it impacts our daily lives. I explore what overthinking really is and the function of our mind in this process.

So much of our experience of anxiety and worry is about things that haven't even happened yet. It can feel useful to think about what might happen in preparation for challenging events or feelings. But so much of what our minds wander off worrying about doesn't actually happen! Use this phrase as a reminder to yourself when you are lost in worry and future based thinking. Like this video?

When we feel nervous to start new things, this can sometimes put us off from even trying. But what if feeling nervous isn't something we have to take so seriously? It's simply an evolutionary response our brain has to the unknown and uncertainty. This leaves us free to try whatever the heck new things we want to! Like this video?

I would also add to that, ‘ something we believe is hard or we won’t be able to achieve or complete’. Almost all of us will have experienced doing something trivial or mindless instead of getting on with the task we really need to be doing. We might find ourselves putting off writing a report, doing our homework or compet
