Owning Your Boundaries Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

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.

What if I have a setback? Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

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. I talk about how and why I've been feeling it again in recent weeks and precisely what I've done to help move through it. Follow me on @owningitpodcast for more or for my personal page you'll find me at @carolineforan.

Relationship Anxiety Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

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.

What if your anxiety is a compass? Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

This is the final episode of season 8 and it's just me. I'm talking through some of my biggest learnings from this season. One helpful conclusion I've come to? Maybe your anxiety is a compass. And maybe that compass is pointing you towards something important, which is your values, which makes your values not unlike your own North Star. Hear me out and let me know what you think! Lots more to come with the next season. Follow me on @OwningItPodcast.

Manifestation: Bad for anxiety? Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

Do you believe that you are what you think? I'm not sure I do. This week I'm talking about the manifestation trend and the law of attraction that suggests that what we think or put out into the universe, we receive. Different to positive thinking, I feel that the popularity of manifestation might contribute to anxiety. I talk to scientist Dr David Robert Grimes about the ways in which it might be harmful, why it might not be doing your anxiety any good and how liberating it might be to realise that you are not what you think. Join me on @OwningItPodcast on Instagram. Check out David's book The Irrational Ape and follow him @David_robert_grimes.

Therapy: what kind do I need? Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

This is a very practical episode where I explore - with the help of clinical psychologist Dr Clare Kambamettu - the various types of therapy (not including alternative therapies) that you might encounter when seeking out help for managing anxiety. From psychologist to clinical psychologist, psychotherapist to psychiatrist, it can all become a little overwhelming at a time when, if you're looking for help, you're probably already pretty overwhelmed to begin with. Therapy is something we know little about until we start asking questions, so I hope this episode demystifies some of it for you. Join me on @OwningItPodcast for more.

Why judgement makes us anxious with Dr Soph Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever felt anxious after being judged by someone? Or perceiving that you might be judged? The fear of judgement and the impact of judgement are huge sources of anxiety. But judgement is such an enormous topic, it's a lot to unpack. Helping me do just that is @DrSoph (Dr Sophie Mort), author of A Manual For Being Human and clinical psychologist. We talk about passive aggression, gaslighting and other forms of judgement. Why we fear it, why it matters so much to us.
