Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson

The state of our nervous system influences how 'at home' we feel in our body. When we're feeling stressed and anxious we often look outside of ourselves to try and feel better. We might try to control the stress in our life, which isn't always easy to do, or turn to unhelpful coping strategies to help us relax and feel more regulated. Today's episode reveals a better way. In this conversation globally renowned nervous system educator Jessica Maguire teaches us nervous system fundamentals, what influences the state of our nervous system, how we can coax our nervous system back to a more regulated state using different strategies and more. Jessica helps us understand what's underneath the symptoms we feel and why we respond in different circumstances the way we do. We talk about anxiety, people pleasing, parenting, the Vagus Nerve and how we can repair our own nervous system over time.

Ever find yourself trapped in a cycle of overthinking; going over and over the same situation in your mind without knowing how to move on? Maybe you worry a lot about things that might happen, or you're very good at jumping to the worst case scenario? Overthinking, rumination and worry can make life extremely difficult. The tendency to replay situations or events from the past, or worry about something that might happen, is common but doesn't have to be debilitating. In this conversation, Dr Jodi talks with Carly Taylor to shed light on why we can get stuck in a cycle of overthinking and importantly, exactly what we can do about it. Carly uncovers the differences between rumination and worry, explains why we do it, shares openly about her son's rumination as he struggled with the challenges of Cushing's Disease, shares a powerful metaphor to help anyone struggling with overthinking to make change and more.

Welcome to Episode 3 of our Summer Series on "Well, Hello Anxiety." In this instalment, your host, Dr Jodi Richardson, takes centre stage to explore a topic that affects us all: worry. Worry is a normal and sometimes helpful aspect of our lives, but when it becomes overwhelming or impedes our ability to fully engage in life, it's time to address it. Dr. Richardson believes that this episode can be a turning point for anyone wrestling with excessive worry. Worry and anxiety are deeply interconnected. The constant anticipation of things going wrong, coupled with the fear of worst-case scenarios, can trigger our stress response, further fueling anxiety. Conversely, anxiety can intensify our worries, creating a feedback loop that can be incredibly distressing. What makes this episode truly special is the practical takeaway it offers. Dr. Richardson introduces a memorable 3-step strategy for managing worry, making it a personal tool and something you can teach and share with your family. The beauty of this strategy is its adaptability; you'll hear a variety of approaches to each step, ensuring you find what resonates best with you. Throughout the episode, Dr. Richardson emphasizes the importance of grounding oneself through the body, starting with the breath. Even small changes in our breathing patterns can make a meaningful difference, and mindfulness techniques are introduced to enhance this process. Anxiety can be challenging, but it's treatable, and worry is one of those aspects of anxiety that, after listening to this episode, may no longer feel insurmountable. Dr. Richardson hopes that you'll find the strategy achievable and that it remains with you, ready to be employed whenever you need it most. Join us in this empowering episode and take the first steps toward managing worry and reclaiming your peace of mind.

ABOUT OUR GUEST: Dr Tim Sharp, aka Dr Happy, is a renowned leader in the field of Positive Psychology, a sought-after speaker, consultant, podcaster, spokesperson, author and the founder and Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) of The Happiness Institute. He’s achieved unparalleled success in the academic, professional and business worlds, is a proud recipient of the Future Leadership Award and, in 2011, was appointed as Australia Day Ambassador. What makes his success and impact more extraordinary, is that Dr Sharp experiences severe depression and has done most of his adult life. Before he was Dr Happy, he was Dr Miserable. In this episode we talk about speaking out, the dangers of putting on a brave face, the most effective anti-depressant (hint: not a medication), how Dr Happy manages his depression, practical ways to manage insomnia and how, metaphorically speaking, there’s a time for snuggling up, and a time for putting on a coat and getting out in the rain. So much wisdom in this episode.

In this podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my live, online program designed specifically for parents like you. We all want to give our children the best tools and strategies to navigate the transition to school in 2024 smoothly and with less stress. Drawing on my extensive background as an anxiety educator, published author and keynote speaker I'm here to share evidence-based, practical advice to make this transition a success.

Together, we'll explore practical strategies and approaches to empower you, your children, and their siblings as you navigate the back-to-school journey, ensuring it's a more positive and anxiety-free experience.

She has a PhD, along with a Masters in both Professional and Clinical Psychology.

Everyone worries at some time or another but that’s little consolation when worry feels like it’s completely taking over. I’ve been there, I know how sickening it can feel when worry is part of the fabric of every single day; I also know what helps. In this week’s episode I’m sharing the ABC technique for managing worry. It’s a powerful and practical technique that can be applied to the occasional worry and, of course, to worry that so often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Can you trust that you’ve done enough even when there’s more to do? If your answer to that question is no, my hope is that listening to this week’s guest will help you answer differently.We’re conditioned to be productive, to achieve more, to do more to tick more things off our list. There’s always more to do, there always will be. But what sort of a life are we living if we never stop to reflect, to recharge, to unwind, to rest? So many, including this week’s guest, know all too well that if we don’t do it for ourselves, eventually, we’re forced to stop through burnout, sheer exhaustion, or illness.Olivia Raheem shows us how slowing down, stillness, and intentionally taking care of ourselves gives us the space to breathe and recognise that we are enough, despite what we do; and that we can gain freedom from the ‘always on’ culture that tells us otherwise.Here are links to share:www.octaviaraheem.comwww.pauserestbe.comRest resources: https://www.octaviaraheem.com/rest-resourcesThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Meg Webb’s Generalised Anxiety Disorder started young and originally presented as constant worrying. It was incredibly difficult, but not a symptom others would notice. The anxiety she was struggling with eventually became more conspicuous during a high school presentation when her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Later, in her first job, she experienced daily dread that she’d be asked to do something that would mean her colleagues would notice her shaking. She wouldn’t eat or drink in social situations and eventually found them all too difficult. Eventually, Meg self-medicated with alcohol, which only made her anxiety worse. In her 40s, she became curious about sobriety and embarked on a journey that not only freed her from alcohol but also reduced her overall anxiety. This newfound freedom led Meg to discover her purpose as an Alcohol Recovery Coach.Meg works with women in their midlife who are wanting to find a freedom from alcohol, and uses tools for this and for reducing anxiety in their life, and also for finding their joy and passion.She is a certified This Naked Mind coach, a nutrition coach and a teacher’s aide for children with autism. She also previously worked as a photographer but now enjoys photography as a hobby. She is Mum to three beautiful children and lives on Sydney’s Northern beaches.https://glassfulfilled.com.auShe’s Sober SydneyInstagram@glassfulfilled@shessobersydneyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Over 10 days of freezing, starving and being ‘hunted’, during brutal resistance to interrogation training with the British Royal Navy, helped inoculate this week’s podcast guest against the stresses of daily life. Events and situations that would have previously caused grief felt like ‘water off a duck’s back’; sparking an epiphany. Paul Taylor realised that psychological and emotional stress stimulated adaptive, protective responses in the same way exercise, physical stress, does. In this conversation Paul explains the good, the bad and the ugly of stress, how our perception of stress changes its affects on us for better or for worse, what’s happening in an anxious brain, how we can all build physical and psychological resilience and so much more.A former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul Taylor is a Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist who is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group & The University of Tasmania.MindBodyBrain Project Podcastwww.mindbodybrain.com.au@mindbodybrainpiDeath By Comfort bookwww.paultaylor.bizThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

When Yael Schonbrun headed back to work after having her first child she thought to herself ‘I’ve got this in the bag’. The reality couldn’t have been any more different from the expectation, perhaps you can relate! Yael leveraged her experience as a parent, and an academic to firstly dive into the research, then begin to call out the myth of the work-life balance that was at the heart of so many available resources. She wrote ‘Work, Parent, Thrive’ filled with insights and practical strategies to help us all reframe our approach to working and parenting with more optimism, less guilt, strategies to manage what’s hard and a new lens to consider how what we’ve often considered as ‘competing roles’ actually compliment and enrich each other.Yael Schonbrun is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Brown University, co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast, author of Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like too Much), and parent of three.yaelschonbrun.comworkparentthrive.comLlink to Yael's newsletter https://thegrowtheq.ck.page/yaelThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

One of my most memorable interactions with a stranger involved two random acts of kindness. That experience still gives me goosebumps when I think about it and will always stay with me. Little did I know at the time, that showing kindness reduces anxiety. The research around kindness is unequivocal; the giver, the receiver and even people lucky enough to witness an act of kindness all benefit from a flood of feel good hormones that are released. Kindness reduces stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness and boosts our health and wellbeing in powerful ways. Gestures don’t have to be grand, and don’t have to cost a thing. In this episode, I explain the power of kindness for us, and everyone around us. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
