We can just about sum up anxious behaviour in one word - avoidance. When a situation, expectation or experience dials anxiety up, the natural response is to avoid the trigger and retreat to safety. The trouble is, most of what's avoided because of anxiety is actually safe. Beyond safe, so much of what makes life meaningful, affirming and fulfilling is in that zone of anxious discomfort. This is the episode where I talk all things anxious avoidance, how at the very heart of anxiety is a life based around trying very hard to get rid of anxiety, and what to do instead.

Sarah Rusbatch is a passionate grey area drinking coach on a mission. "What's grey area drinking?" I hear you ask. I asked exactly the same question. Her answer is fascinating and relates to where we fall on the continuum between identifying as a non-drinker through to an alcoholic. Sarah talks openly about her own turning point, why alcohol plays such a big role in anxiety, how alcohol impacts our ability to gain pleasure from the simple things in life, alcohol's impact on sleep, mental health, energy and motivation; and how many never get to know the version of themselves that doesn't drink. This conversation invites us all to think about our own relationship with alcohol, and tells us where to start if we want to make a change (plus fab alcohol free alternatives to try.Sarah's alcohol free drink recommendations:Thomson and Scott NoughtyVinada sparkling chardonnay and roseGiesen savignon blanclyres classicoGordons alcohol free ginLyres Amalfi spritzSarah's websiteSarah's guide to sobrietyBooks: This Naked Mind Alcohol ExplainedBrain ResetDopamine NationJodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

We experience difficult thoughts, painful feelings, unsettling sensations, and then layer how we think and feel with judgements. Not much fun eh? When we try to push out thoughts and stuff down our feelings in attempts to feel better, it’s exhausting, and we inadvertently make ourselves feel worse. In today’s episode with the incredible Dr John Forsyth, you’ll learn the essentials you need to do things differently; to change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings, and end the struggle with anxiety. Dr John Forsyth is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program at the University at Albany, New York. He’s also a TED speaker, an accomplished author, a sought-after teacher and trainer and an incredible human whose life purpose is to help alleviate human suffering.

Warwick Merry is a dear colleague of mine from Professional Speakers Australia. He has a huge heart, is one of the most generous people I know and shares authentically in our conversation about the ups and downs he’s experienced in life, and how he’s learned to live life well, even when things get tough. A self-professed ‘nutritional overachiever’ Warwick talks about his struggles with weight from an early age, about imposter syndrome, masks, comparison, confrontation, the ‘R’ word and the dangers that accompany it, the role humour plays in his life, the impact of changing his perspective on anxiety and so much more. This episode is a little different, you’ll be a ‘fly on the wall’ listening to two friends talk openly about big topics.https://warwickmerry.com/https://twitter.com/WarwickMerryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/warwickmerryhttps://www.instagram.com/warwickgmerry/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

In this episode you’ll learn how to differentiate between anxiety of the completely normal human variety, compared with anxiety that may be part of an ongoing condition. You’ll also learn how anxiety impacts how we feel, what we think, and what we do – and importantly, why certain signs and symptoms anxiety are part of the brain and body’s response in anticipation of a threat. When we understand anxiety well, we’re in a better position to identify it when it starts to bubble up, and put into practice strategies that help dial it back down.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.

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.https://www.drhappy.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/thehappinessinstitute/https://www.facebook.com/TheHappinessInstitute/Lifeline 13 11 14https://www.lifeline.org.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Eryka Rhodes, founder and owner of Looking Forward Counselling and Mindfulness, gives us an insider’s view on the important role counsellors can play in helping us with our mental health. I love Eryka’s mindful approach and authenticity, and especially how she begins by sharing the bodily sensations and future thinking that bubbled away for her in the lead up to this, her first podcast interview; and what she did in response. In addition to her wonderful work with adults in private practice, Eryka is a secondary school counsellor. She pulls back the curtain on adolescent thinking, the window of engagement, how she supports adolescents to bring calm to their experience when anxiety and distress are high, how to recognise our inner critic and our inner coach, self-harm in secondary students, and the many ways counsellors offer support in times of need.

Content warning – suicide.You’d be forgiven for thinking that a podcast episode about suicide would be hard to listen to; my hope is that this episode changes your mind. My guest this week, the wonderful Dannielle Miller OAM, shares her expertise around this hard-to-talk-about, highly sensitive topic, with such conviction and compassion you’ll finish the episode feeling empowered.There are countless take-aways from this conversation, many could help save a life. Dannielle helps us to understand the complex factors that can ultimately lead a person to want to end their life (it’s never just one); the importance of compassionate, open and honest conversations and how we can all learn to be suicide first-aiders; suicide contagion and why the media rules around suicide are in place; she shines a bright light on suicide myths so they no longer get in the way of our understanding and action and so much more. This is an episode for all of us, and especially for those of us who are parents, but if it’s not for you I completely understand.Dannielle Miller OAM is the co-founder and CEO of Enlighten Education, a best-selling author, teen educator, speaker, media commentator and Director of Education and Special Projects at Women’s Community Shelters. In 2021 Dannielle was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to education, to woman, and youth. In 2018 she was one of four Finalists for the NSW Premier’s Award for Woman of the Year, and the winner of the Suicide Prevention Australia Life Award for excellence in media reporting. Dannielle also launched the global social change initiative, The School Toilet Project, encouraging schools to let students reimagine these often bleak spaces.www.danniellemiller.comhttps://www.enlighteneducation.com/https://www.instagram.com/danniellemiller/https://www.facebook.com/Enlighten-Education-38293082169Helplines and services:Lifeline13 11 14Kids Helplinehttps://kidshelpline.com.au/1800 55 1800Living WorksThe world leader in suicide intervention traininghttps://www.livingworks.com.au/The information provided on this Podcast is for general educational purposes only, and is to be used at your sole risk.

Those of us with anxiety tend to worry lot. For much of my life, worry detracted from my happiness and quality of life, and often stood in the way of things I wanted to do. This is often the case with anxiety and when we don’t know how to manage worry in helpful ways; we lean on other people for reassurance, we avoid getting involved in activities that light us up and we hold back from taking important, meaningful action towards what we want most in life. Grief and distress often accompany our chronic worrying too, taking us even further away from living a full life.Today’s episode will change all this for you, and for any young people in your life who struggle with worry too. You’ll develop a new perspective on what your thoughts actually are, you’ll learn a powerful question to ask yourself, or a loved one, when worries show up, and you’ll learn a number of different ways you can put distance between you and what you’re thinking. All of this gives you the space, time and know-how to move on from worrying thoughts and to re-engage in life in the here and now. This tool has been a game-changer for me, I think it will be for you too.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.

Anxiety is there for a reason, it's there to protect us, to take care of us and shows up when our brain needs to keep us safe. This happens when a threat is detected, when we imagine or perceive a threat, as well as when we're doing something new and meaningful. With great warmth and wisdom, today's guest, the wonderful Karen Young from Hey Sigmund, shines a light on what happens in an anxious brain, how anxiety grows when we fight it and how anxiety, strength and courage go hand in hand. Today's episode will help you learn that when anxiety shows up it comes with an invitation - to retreat to safety or to move forward with courage. Karen's Website: https://www.heysigmund.com/Karen's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/karenyoungheysigmund/Karen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenyoung_heysigmund/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.
