Ep 214. Navigating Relationships with High Functioning Anxiety

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 02:06:25 GMT

Let’s face it; relationships bring up all our stuff, and there is no one more annoying in the whole world than the person you love the most.

Navigating relationships with high–functioning anxiety is hard, not only for us, but for our partner too!

Stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma can hijack our emotions, while feeling anxious and on edge can mean we’re more likely to get triggered.

If you’re busy and tired (and let’s be honest, who isn’t) it’s easy to lose your temper, experience dips in your mood and get into arguments.

I’ve been with my partner for 13 years, and the first 3 years were hell because of my anxiety.

We’ve seen FIVE different relationship therapists, and I’ve read countless books. These days, we’re in a MUCH better place, and we rarely argue (even with a 6-month-old in tow).

In this podcast, I’m sharing my top tips for navigating relationships with high-functioning anxiety.

Ep 209. How to Develop a Growth Mindset

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 02:00:25 GMT

All of us are capable of pretty radical change.

You might have heard about the concept of brain plasticity; it’s the idea that the structure of our brain is always changing.

All the time, you’re making new neural connections and old ones are fading away. Your brain is adapting and transforming its structure according to what you do. A growth mindset is all about knowing that with practise we can learn and grow. In this podcast I discuss what a growth mindset is, how you can develop one and why it's so important.

Ep 202. 8 Simple Steps to More Work-Life Balance

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 02:00:34 GMT

How to create a work-life balance when you’re busy is the golden question.

We live in a world where we’re supposed to have it all, do it all, and still manage to find time for our careers, our families, and ourselves. It’s a culture that has emerged out of our fast-paced society, one which is all about juggling as many things as you can, whilst still managing to smile.

It can be hard to find a sense of balance in busy times, but as someone wise once said, a part of being balanced is falling out of balance. In this episode of The Calmer You Podcast, I'm sharing about 8 simple steps to more work-life balance from working smarter not harder, and learning to speak up.

Ep. 106 How to handle the inner critic

Wed, 27 May 2020 06:26:34 GMT

This week on the podcast I’m talking about the number one issue I see in my clients. The inner critic.

It’s big. Huge.

It’s that fault finding, nit-picking, brain-niggling, mean-ass inner critic.

AKA ‘The shitty committee’.

The inner mean girl (or boy).

Judgey McJudgerson.

You get the picture.

It’s the internal monologue that’s pissing on your parade.

Present every time you speak up in your family, try something new with your hair or attempt to write your bio on a dating app. There every time you fire up Zoom for a work meeting and have to stare at your own face for 50 minutes.

And when things aren’t going to plan, the inner critic can get louder and arsier than ever.

When you get iffy feedback from the work project you gave your all to.

When you hear crickets after an audition or interview.

Or when you miss your pre-paid yoga class because you hit snooze once too many.

Queue an internal rant of Biblical proportions. Not even your ex who cheated on you got this much heat.

Can you relate?

Wouldn’t it be better to just try your best without all the internal chatter holding you back.

In this solo episode of The Calmer You Podcast I’m sharing my top tips for handling the inner critic and moving forwards with more confidence in life.

Meet Dr. Ellie

Today on the Calmer You podcast, I'm talking to Dr. Ellie Cannon. We met on a panel we did together and I loved everything that she was sharing. She's not only a GP, she's also an author. Her latest book is all about work, health and the effects that our jobs can have on our mental health. It's called, Is Your Job Making you Ill?

She's also columnist for The Mail on Sunday. I love her Twitter feed and approach. She's very no-nonsense and calls all sorts of things out. I'm not a doctor so I love taking this opportunity to speak with a GP. There are lots of things that I really wanted to get her perspective on.

In this episode

We talked about how common it is for GPS to see patients with stress and anxiety. Hint, it's an incredibly high number.

We talked about at what point we should go and see our GP if we're struggling mentally. This has to be one of the most common questions that I get asked. People ask me, what is a normal amount of everyday worries and stress? Also,

Ep 100. Ayahuasca and the jungle

Mon, 04 May 2020 01:00:00 GMT

I'm welcoming you to the hundredth episode of this podcast! In this episode, I finally get around to talking about my experience that I had a few months ago, where I went on two different retreats to experience Ayahuasca medicine in South America.

I can't quite believe I've carried on for so long. It's been an amazing experience for me to do this podcast. I started this podcast because it was actually a bit of a mission for me to overcome those last little bits of social anxiety and fears about speaking to people. Especially people I really look up to.

I share about:

* Why I went to the Amazon jungle and what it was like (spoiler: it was intense!)* What I learned from the plant medicine and what you can learn from it too* The risks involved and how I overcame my fears

Hello, and welcome to the Calmer You podcast. This is Chloe Brotheridge your host. I'm a coach, hypnotherapist and author of the Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And I'm welcoming you to the hundredth episode of this podcast. I can't quite believe I've carried on for so long. It's been an amazing experience for me to do this podcast. I started this podcast because it was actually a bit of a mission for me to overcome those last little bits of social anxiety and fears about speaking to people. Especially people I really look up to.

What it's meant doing this podcast

It's been such a great learning experience for that. Not only do I get to speak to people that I really admire and look up to, but, I'm also growing my own confidence by putting myself out there. It's been really valuable on so many levels. Thank you so much.

Whether you're joining and listening to my podcast for the first time, or whether you've listened since day one, thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate all of your messages and all the times that you let me know that you're listening that it's that it's helped you. It really makes a difference to me. So thank you for that.

Yes, it was a powerful experience

So in this episode, I'm finally getting around to talking about my experience that I had back in December and January of 2019/20. Where I went on two different retreats to experience Ayahuasca medicine from South America.

I have to say I've been putting this conversation off. I am feeling a certain amount of trepidation to even be talking about it because of the fact that it is not legal in the UK. It is legal in a lot of South American countries. There is definitely an aspect to it, which is pretty scary, a bit dangerous. And yet, it was such a powerful experience for me, and really did help me in lots of interesting ways.

What you can expect from this episode

I'm going to describe a lot of things about the experience from why I decided to do it, what it was like being in the jungle, the things that I was afraid of, and the insights that I gained.

Disclaimer

I also want to share a disclaimer that I'm not suggesting that anyone else go out and have this experience. There are risks involved. If you're considering this, please do a lot of research. You hear horror stories about people who go to Peru and find so...

really the state of mind that we want to be in. And we talk about how to
cultivate this more and more in our lives, we get into the topic of money which
still in 2020 is such a taboo topic, but it's a real passion of Jody's to speak

in our lives, and so we get into that topic. We also talk about consciousness
hacking, and this is completely fascinating to me, I think you're going to be

coach, a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave
New Girl. And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest,
happiest and most confident self.

Chloe Brotheridge: Today, I'm speaking to the incredibly interesting Tony Riddell, a.k.a. The Naturallife Stylist. Tony is a natural lifestyle coach and he's spent the last 18 years developing and refining a robust way of life based on the principles of a natural lifestyle. Central to his continuing exploration is the question, “What makes the human animal successful in the modern world?”

We have a really interesting discussion all about the links between our disconnection from nature and the levels of depression and anxiety that we experience.

Tony
teaches us how we can re-wild ourselves, what we can do at work, at home and in
our daily lives to connect back to nature and gain all the health and mental
well-being benefits of doing that.

In this episode

And
he shares loads of practical tips on everything from the plants that you need
to have in your house to clean the air, to how to sleep better, to how to squat
better and so much more.

I think you are going to really find this episode quite fascinating and mind-blowing. So, let's get into the interview with Tony Riddle.

I'd love to invite you to check out
my new app, The Calmer You App. We are so proud of this app. It's been about

Hello and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self.

Chloe Brotheridge: So, welcome to this episode. This is a COVID-19 themed episode. Today, after this week, I'm going to be going back to my pre-recorded episodes that I planned, obviously, before this whole situation kicked off. So, perhaps that will be a bit of distraction, a bit more normality to get back to. So, hopefully I'll look forward to that.

But this week, I'm talking to the wonderful Dr. Frankie Jackson-Spence, who is a GP, and she has been sharing a lot about the facts around COVID-19, and busting a lot of myths and helping people to feel calmer and less anxious by spreading helpful information. So, I really wanted to speak to her about this topic.

So, she shares about how she's handling it, how her job has changed as a result of this crisis. We talk about the importance of physical distancing. She busts some of the most common myths that she hears and she shares her tips for feeling calm in the face of the situation.

I also want to let you know that I've created a new tool kit which is designed to help you to feel calm and resilient in uncertain times. You can check out on my website at calmer-you.com/benddontbreak. So, that's calmer-you.com/benddontbreak. So, let's get into the interview with Dr. Frankie.

This episode is sponsored by my favourite active wear brand, Sweaty Betty. They’re all-female design team. So, it’s the best technical fabrics, which means our products perform under the toughest conditions and feel amazing on your skin.

All products are also wearer trialed by female staff to ensure they perform and flatter and fit the female body. If the staff don’t love it, it doesn't get made.

There are so many active wear brands to shop from, but Sweaty Betty is special because all their products from run and yoga to swim and ski are engineered to last. This is not fast fashion, it's high quality. And I have several pieces from Sweaty Betty that I've had for years and I continue to wear and love.

Chloe
Brotheridge: Thank you so much for listening today. Obviously, I'm so
aware of what an anxious time this is for so many of you. I've been having tons
of messages and questions coming through about how to deal with the uncertainty
about coronavirus and all the things that we have to deal with from redundancy
is to not be able to leave the house to lack of social interaction to fear
about our health and the health of our loved ones. There are so many things to
consider right now.

And so, what I normally do is record
podcasts quite a few weeks in advance and I've decided to push back the ones I
had scheduled and actually have in place some podcasts that are dealing with
the issues that we're struggling with today.

So, obviously, I know what an anxious
time they says and I'm going to be planning some online workshops to help you
to feel more resilient and feel more positive in what is, for many people, a
really challenging time.

If you want to hear about that and also download some of the freebies I have on my website, you can go to calmer-you.com/free. I've got hypnotherapy mp3 on there, affirmations, worksheets; all designed to help me to be a calmer you. And I'll also let you know about any events or live workshops I'm doing online.

So, I am chatting on the podcast today to my friend, Toni Jones. She was a guest, maybe a year ago now, on the podcast. She's the founder of the self-help book club, Shelf Help. And I definitely recommend you check them out. There's tons for you to get involved in. Even though the in-person meetups aren’t happening for now, she's doing loads of stuffs online. Definitely check out Shelf Help Club on Facebook and on her website and on Instagram.

I got in touch with Toni because she'd written
a fascinating blog post, all about working from home and the challenges that

I think this really comes through in this episode with Becki. She shares a lot about her own transformation and the journey that she's been on to really shifting her mindset and changing her life in quite dramatic ways. We get into this topic of being lit, being lit up, you know turning a light on, this is something that Becki is really focused on helping people with and why for so many of us we can hold ourselves back from really shining brightly and being confident because we are so scared of what other people are going to think. And so she shares a lot about this and how we can overcome those barriers, so that we can just be our most confident selves. We also talk about anxiety.

Becki shares some of practical tools that she helps her own clients with, and we also get the topic of social media and that pressure, and how we can try to not allow social media to take over our lives.

Introduction

Chloe: Hello, and welcome to the Calmer You podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge, I’m a coach, a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of “the anxiety solution and brave new girl,” and this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self. In this episode, I'm talking to the wonderful Nicky Clinch, and Nicky is such a special person, she came over to my house to recall this episode, we actually live quite close to one another in London, in Hackney, East London. And we sat together on the sofa, and I honestly felt like this conversation was so healing for me, and it really came at the right time for me personally and I really hope it helps here as well.

Nicky is a transformational leader and facilitator, she has studied
integrative counseling and macrobiotics, she is also a spiritual mentor and
it's her mission in life to help all of us to break free from the confines of
our past traumas, ourselves defeating patterns, and our suffering. So that we
can realize and come home to who we are. So Nicky and I get into lots different
topics, we start off by talking about trauma and how it can be the root of so
many of our issues and how we can start to overcome the traumas that held us
back. Nicky gives us her take on anxiety and where that comes from and what we
can do to start to manage our own anxiety.

And Nicky advice definitely isn't the standard 3 tips to curing anxiety something that you might read day-to-day, it really does go very very deep and it's very very powerful. She shares some really moving personal stories about how she's healed her own trauma, how own experience of plant medicines, her own transformation and how she helps other people to transform. She also shares the incredible story about how she was 50000 words into writing her book, she had publishing deal with Hey house and how she actually scrapped the whole 50000 words and went on a different path and this is incredible for me, as someone who has written a book to let go of 50000 words, that's just terrifying to me.

So I love this story with Nicky, it was incredibly inspiring. So I would
love to send some free resources to help you grow your confidence, boost your
self-esteem and calm your anxiety, if you want these freebies you can head over
to my website; calmeryou.com/free, put your email address in there and I'll
send you those freebies right away. So let's get into the interview with Nicky
clinch.

Ep 91 Find your voice and get out of your head with Caroline Goyder

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 01:00:00 GMT

This week on the Calmer You podcast I speak with voice coach and author of Find Your Voice, Caroline Goyder. She knows a thing or two about how to find your voice and get out of your head.

We chat about:

* What is confidence?* Why nerves are good* How to overcome blushing or shaking when you’re speaking* How to improve your confidence when it comes to speaking* Phone phobia * And lots more!

Transcript

Introduction

Chloe: Hello and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge, I’m a coach, a hypnotherapist and I'm the author of “the anxiety solution, and brave new girl” and this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest happiest and most confident self. Today on the podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking to Caroline Goyder who is a voice coach, and she's the author of the new book “Find your voice.” She is also a Ted x. Speaker and her Ted Talk has had 7 and a half million views which is really incredible. In this episode we're talking all about confidence, particularly confidence when it comes to speaking, whether that’s speaking on a stage, speaking up in a meeting or speaking on the phone.

And this is I hope such a reassuring chat because both Caroline and I
have struggled in this area before, we both admitted to having blushed in the
past. And so it's really coming from a place of her having experienced the
nervousness and the fear that comes along with speaking, and having learned a
lot about herself, made a lot of progress and she actually gets to help other
people with that as well. So we talk about Caroline's definition of confidence,
and I think this is really interesting, not what you might be expecting. We
talk about why nerves are actually a good thing and why there's nothing to be
ashamed about if you do experience nerves before speaking, it's actually
completely normal and I hope this conversation helped to normalize even more
and how to know there's nothing to be ashamed of.

We talk about how to overcome the specific things that can hold us back
from speaking like blushing or shaking or speaking to the fast and Caroline
shares lots of tips on growing your confidence in general, when it comes to
speaking, phone phobia and people who experience this will know what I'm
talking about if you're scared of being on the phone in front of the people in
the office for example or if you're someone that maybe doesn't like to answer
the phone when people call, if it's an unknown number for example, I'm one of
these people by the way.

And we just got into loads of helpful ideas around the topic of speaking confidence, and finding your voice. So if you want to get some free resources from me on growing your confidence, boosting your self-esteem, calming anxiety, I've got loads of freebies on my website for you, if you had over to calmeryou.com/free and to enter your email address there, I'm going to send you mp3’s, worksheet, podcast updates and loads more. So head over to Calmeryou.com/free, so let's get into the interview with Caroline Goyder.

Chloe: So welcome Caroline, thank you so much for joining me, how are you?

Caroline Goyder: I'm good, pleasure to be here.

Chloe: Please can you tell us what it is you do and how you came to do that you
today?

Ep. 90 This Too Shall Pass with Julia Samuel

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 01:00:00 GMT

This week on the Calmer You Podcast I speak with Julia Samuel, Author of Grief Works and her new book This Too Shall Pass.

We chat about:

* What is the ‘fertile void’?* How busyness stops us from healing * How to handle changes in your life * What to say to someone who is grieving* The particular struggles that millennials face

Transcript

Chloe: Hello, and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. Welcome. I am a coach, a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl.

On today's Podcast

And today, on the podcast, I've got the wonderful Julia Samuel, MBE, who is a psychotherapist, and she's also the author of two books; Grief Works, and her latest book, This Too Shall Pass, which is all about how to navigate changes. And you know, we're so scared of change, aren’t we? On one hand, we really want change, we want transformation. And on the other hand, how many of us can get stuck keeping things the same because change just feels too scary, and it feels safer to stick with what we know even though it's uncomfortable.

So, we
talked about this whole topic of change. We discussed what's known as the
fertile void, and I love how Julia explains this and how we can cultivate this
in our lives, and it can help us to handle changes in our lives. We talked
about how business stops us from healing and what we need to do instead. We
also get into the topic of grief and what to say to someone who's grieving and
how to handle that yourself about something that's affecting you at the moment.
We also touch on the particular struggles that millennials and those of a
similar generation face. So, I want to let you know that I have some free
resources for confidence, self-esteem, and anxiety. If you want to grab those
freebies, head over to my website, CalmerYou.com/Free, and I'll send you lots of resources, worksheets,
downloads, updates about the podcast. Head over to CalmerYou.com/Free. So, let's get into the interview with Julia Samuel.
Welcome, Julia. Thank you so much for joining me. How are you today?

Julia:
Really well. Lovely to meet you, Chloe.

Chloe: Could
you please share with us what it is that you do and how you came to do the work
that you do today?

More about Julia Samuel

Julia: So, I'm a psychotherapist and I've been a psychotherapist for 30 years. 25 years I worked in the NHS at a big NHS hospital supporting families when babies died and children died. So, I was the counselor for pediatrics and maternity.

From there, I helped started or established and launched a charity called Child Bereavement UK, which was supporting families when a child died or when a child's bereaved. From there, I sort of taught a lot and lectured a lot. I've gone into private practice in the last few years, about the last five years. And I wrote another book before and this is my second book. So, I'm a seasoned therapist and a new author. So, one is kind of an old hat and the other feels exciting and scary. And I'm not even sure I can call myself an author.

Chloe:
Amazing. And I can't imagine work more, I don’t know, intense than working with
people that have lost a child. I think that's incredible that you've done that
work. What was that like?

Transcript

Mentally fit with Shona Vertue

Chloe Brotheridge: Hello and welcome to the ‘Calmer
You’ podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. I am a coach, a
hypnotherapist and I'm the author of the ‘Anxiety Solution’ and ‘Brave New Girl’.
Thank you so much for listening today. I have an amazing guest this week Shona Vertue.
Shona is known for being a fitness instructor and yoga teacher. But for some
reason, this conversation isn't actually that much about fitness. We get into
such a varied number of topics. She has had her career so far in the fitness
industry, but she is now studying psychology and so this is a real passion of
hers.

So, we get into topics like her experience of therapy, why it's totally
okay to have therapy and we talk about things like how to find a therapist. We
talk about something called ‘Attachment Theory’ and you might have heard this
before. Some of us might be anxiously attached for example and it has to do
with things that happened in our childhood. We really get into why there's
nothing to be ashamed about if you're somebody that is perhaps needy or
codependent in relationships because it's not your fault and it can often go
back to these things in childhood. So, we chat about that.

We get into the pressures and boundaries of social media and I also ask her my favorite question to ask people which is. How are you really? I love Shona’s answer this, she's really honest and open and talks about something that I think a lot of us can relate to particularly at this time of year. So, I think gonna love this episode. I felt like I was chatting to an old friend where I met show know even though we just met ten minutes before.

Confidence Challenge

Also, I want to let you know that my confidence challenge is coming up on the 24th of February 2020. You can sign up at Calmeryou.com/confidence.

It's going to be 5 days of community, fun challenges, helping you to
think differently and take some action. So, that you can take a few steps
towards living the life that you want to live, being the person that you want
to be, accepting and loving yourself more, building your own self as and just
feeling better about being you overall. Last time I ran, it was really really
amazing to see how people made profound changes over just five days and made
new friends and expanded their idea of what's possible for them. So, I'd love
for you to join us as well. You need to sign up and register to get all the
downloads and workbooks and access the community. You can do that on my website

about, what it is that you do people that don't know.

Ep 87. Ice cream for Breakfast, mental health and play with Laura Jane Williams

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 01:00:00 GMT

In this episode I speak to author Laura Jane Williams. We chat about:

* The ups and downs of work* Her experiences with anxiety and mental health * Giving yourself the recognition you deserve * When your life is “amazing” on the outside but inside you’re struggling* The complexities of adulthood

Transcript

Chloe: Hello, and welcome to the comedy podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. I am a coach. I'm a therapist and the author of the Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. I welcome you to this podcast. Thank you so much for listening. Thanks for being here. I'm talking to the wonderful, brilliant Laura Jane Williams. Laura Jane Williams is an author. She has written several books. The latest of which is called Our Stop. If you’ve read her books or you follow her online, she is just one of these people who has an amazing way of putting words to things that so many of us experience but find it hard to express.

She's got an incredibly
magnetic personality, an amazing way with words and she talks a lot about
mental health. We get into discussions about the ups and downs of work and this
thing that can happen so often when our life seems really amazing from the
outside. Maybe people are congratulating us on how well things are going and
yet inside, we're really struggling. This can happen to so many of us and we
chat about this.

We talk about her
experiences of her journey with her mental health and anxiety. We talk about
why it's so hard to give yourself recognition for things. She shares a practice
and an example of the experiences she's had where she's really been able to
give herself that recognition. I think in having this discussion, it also gives
us, the listeners, the permission to give ourselves recognition as well. We
talk about the complexities of adulthood and just get into that whole topic,
which I think all of us will be able to relate to.

I love this conversation
with Laura. I think you’re going to love it as well and get loads from it. So,
I just want to let you know that my amazing, if I do say so myself, confidence
challenge is coming up at the end of February 2020. I would love you to join us.
It’s completely free. It's a five-day challenge. I am confident that if you
join us, you will notice a change in your life and how you feel.

Here's what Michelle said,
someone who joined the last on that around there. She said, “This challenge
gave me the courage to go out of my comfort zone and try something new. It also
gave me the nudge I needed to reach out to some old friends and reconnect. More
importantly, it's made me realize I'm not alone. I now understand it's okay to
be open, honest and vulnerable.” So many people have said this from this free
challenge that I run, they met new friends. They took action that they wouldn't
have taken before. They learned things about themselves.

They took a step outside of their comfort zone and I would love all of these things for you and more. You can sign up for free if you head to my website calmer-you.com/confidence. Pop your email address in there and I'll send you all the details about the challenge. That's calmer-you.com/confidence and I hope to see you there. Let's get into the interview with Laura Jane Williams. Welcome, Laura, thank you so much for joining me. How are you today?

Hello, and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach and a hypnotherapist and the author of two books, The Anxiety Solution, and Brave New Girl, which is all about how to grow your confidence. So, today I'm going to be sharing with you a number of steps that I think if you follow them, will help you to be calm and your most confident self, to tap into the innate courage that is within you, and start to feel better about doing the things that you want to do, being you in the world, and going outside of your comfort zone.

Journey to becomming a more confident person

And so this is really an area that I'm passionate about talking about having to struggle with my own issues around confidence and self-esteem for so so long and going on a journey to become a more confident person. And I'm not saying that it's the case that we will just one day emerge like a butterfly out of the chrysalis a new person. But the reality is that it's a journey. It's a process. And little by little, we can start to make changes and we can grow. And we can discover more about what's possible for us and expand what is possible for us. So, I'm going to share with you eight steps for becoming your most confident self.

Believe that you can change

So,
number one is to believe that you can change. And I can't tell you how
important this step is. It sounds so simple, but actually is an incredibly
powerful shift that so many of us actually need to make before we can start to
make a change. Because when we are in a bad place, when we struggled with
something for a long time, when we feel that we've tried a lot of things and
they haven't worked, it can be so easy to tell ourselves, that we are just not
confident people and we are going to be stuck, feeling this way forever and
there's not much we can do about it. And yet, and yet, the reality is that
change is always possible. We are always changing your brain is always
changing. Depending on what you do, depending on what you think, what you focus
on, those neurons are being created, old patterns of thinking, old neural
pathways are degrading as you use them less and less. And so [??? 02:18]
neurological level it is possible to change. And there's that old classic quote
from Henry Ford, “You believe you can or you believe you can't. And either way,
you're right.” And this really encapsulates, even though it's quite a cheesy
quote, by now, it will encapsulate this truth, that when we believe we can
change, it makes it easier to change. And so even if you are just experimenting

Power, who is the author of the brilliant book, Help Me, which is her
experience of reading a different self-help book every day for a year, and

inspiring, reassuring. There are practical assets in there as well. I really
think you're gonna love it. And so myself and Marianne talked about facing your
fears, and Marianne really has faced a lot of fears and she shares some of the
incredible things that she's done through the course of writing this book, and

helpful from all the things that she's tried on her self-help journey. We also
get into how to handle her fear of public speaking. So, many of us struggle
with this, and Marianne shares really beautifully about her experience of that
and what she's doing is overcome it. And she just gives some really reassuring,
lovely, comforting words of advice to people who are struggling with anxiety

Chloe B.: Hello, and welcome to the calmer you podcast. This is your host
Chloe Brotheridge, I am a coach and a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of the
anxiety solution and brave new girl. Thank you so much for listening today. I'm
talking to you, Laura Hoggins, and she is sharing all about the power and the
magic of weightlifting and why it's so amazing for us, particularly if we are
struggling with anxiety and confidence.

Gymtimidation

And she gets into telling us about
how to overcome gymtimidation, because this is a real thing guys, I've
experienced it myself. A sense of walking into the gym not knowing what to do,
intimidating people everywhere how do we overcome that and start to feel
confident enough to go into the weights rooms and try something new, and we
talk all about that. We also get into what are the mental and physical benefits
of lifting weights, and some of these actually really surprised me, I wasn't
expecting one or two of these. And as a way of hopefully motivating you to want
to give it a try.

We talked about getting back into
exercise after a break; this was just a personal thing that I'd experienced
recently. It can be so difficult if you haven't worked out in a while to then
get going again. How do we overcome those barriers and struggles? And Laura
tells us exactly how to do that. And we also get into weightlifting for anxiety
and confidence specifically, and what is it about weightlifting particularly
that can really change our perception of ourselves and our bodies, and how we
feel about ourselves, and calm us down in a different way than other types of
exercise.

So I think you're going to love this
episode. If you're looking to grow your confidence in 2020, I'm running a free
challenge in the next couple of weeks, the brave New Year confidence challenge.
The last time I ran it, I absolutely loved it. Seeing you guys, helping each other,
taking action, growing your confidence noticing real shifts in how you're
speaking to yourselves, and how you're feeling about yourselves in the world.
It was really moving for me, and I'm so excited to be able to offer this again.
It's a free challenge, you can enter your details at Calmeryou.com/confidence,

Reupload: Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life with Professor Paul Dolan

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 21:53:58 GMT

I'm reuploading this popular episode as the podcast takes a break in December. The podcast will be back on 6th Jan 2020!

In ‘Happy Ever After: Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life' bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies covering issues such as wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living for ever. By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.

We discuss:

-Does money make us happy?

-What's the link between happiness and success

-Why you might be better off choosing to be single

-The benefits of being child-free

am a coach, a hypnotherapist, and an author of two books. ‘The anxiety

environmental science at Queen Mary University in London. She studies trees a
lot, she's got a big interest in trees, and with all the things happening with
the Amazon rainforest. How upset so many of us were about the fact that it was
being cut down, and burned.

I
really wanted to talk to her about her work, and
get her advice and insights about things that we can do when it comes to the
planet. Because in the UK, 85% of us are concerned about climate change, and
that can really lead to anxiety for a lot of people. I have experienced my own
moments of anxiety. I really wanted to have this conversation because I just
think it's the most important topic of our lives, essentially. So, Emily and I
get into what we can do to make things better when it comes to the planet. How
we can channel our anxiety into action to actually improve the world, and make
it a better place.

We talk about, why we
shouldn't beat ourselves up because this is one of those topics where it could
be so easy to obsess over things or really worry or beat ourselves up
about buying something in plastic. She
shares why that isn't the way to go about it, and why we shouldn't take on

Ep 64. Well-being on a Budget in 9 Steps

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 01:05:40 GMT

This week I'm talking about well-being on a budget; because wellness is for everyone. I'm sharing simple, free or low-cost ways to boost your health and wellbeing including:

-The brain tingling phenomena you need to know about

-The next best thing to having therapy

-How to get a lifetime of someone's wellbeing wisdom in your pocket

-The cheap kitchen items that can help you to relax

Don't forget to grab your FREE anxiety-busting tool kit at www.calmer-you.com/free and you'll also be the first to hear about the latest news, freebies and podcasts.

Please subscribe to ‘The Calmer you Podcast' in the podcast app in iTunes or on Spotify to get the latest episodes straight to your phone. Thanks so much for listening!

Here are the 9 Steps:

1.Have a daily walk, get out in the park, join park run. Forest bathing and eco therapy are both really healing.

2.Water – many of us don’t drink enough. Get a refillable water bootle and carry it everywhere.

3.Exercise at home, you dont need to spend money on outfits you can work out in your pants (yay!), check out Youtube for tonnes of free workouts, Instagram, apps, check out Yoga with Adrienne. I loved the Sweat app by Kayla Itsines, or look into community yoga classes – often only £5.

4.Self help books – brilliant value for money. I have a free workbook with the audiobook version of Brave New Girl (find it on Audible) get together with friends for a book club or check out the ‘Shelf Help Book Club'.

5.Youtube ASMR which is calming videos designed to give you head tingles, Youtbube is full of guided meditation, or you can grab a free one by me from www.calmer-you.com/free

6.Massage – Get your partner to give you a massage or give one to yourself. Any oil could work, coconut, olive oil, sesame. Make the movement go up and down on limbs and around and around on joints. Make sweeping movements towards the heart. I love Facial massage and find it so calming, find instruction videos on Youtube.

7.Sleep – the ultimate wellbeing trick is to get more sleep. Go to be early, it’s the ultimate self care! If I’m feeling rubbish I’ll go to bed super early (like, 8:30pm!) and usually feel better the next day.

8.Cooking from scratch – especially if you are veggie or vegan – it’s easy to splurge loads of money on fancy ‘vegan or veggie’ foods. So instead, stick to whole grains and beans. Farmers markets can be cheaper than supermarkets as it hasn’t been flown in s refrigerated plane across the world and it’s likely to be local and seasonal. I recently discovered batch cooking and I have stuff in the freezer that’s quick and easy to cook instead of a takeaway.

9.Journalling – there’s almost nothing better than putting pen and paper. Although it's not a replacement for a therapist, it can be helpful putting feelings into words and ‘brain dumping’ so that you can switch off before bed.

Ep 61. Overachieving perfectionism and living- life juicy with Mandy
Lehto

Chloe: Hello
and welcome to the calmer you podcast, this is your host Chloe Brotheridge, I
am a coach and a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of two books: The Anxiety
Solution and my latest book Brave New Girl, Seven Steps to Confidence. Brave
new girl is all about helping you to end people-pleasing, discover the power of
no and becoming your most confident self. And it's full of stories from people
like you and me, who have grown their confidence.

As well as practical tools that you
can slot into your life, they're going to help you to you be the best you that
you can be. So this week I'm talking to Mandy Lehto, she is a coach, a speaker,
a writer, she's a champion of high achievers eager to trade the hustle of
something more sane and satisfying. Mandy has a beautiful way of blending
academic research with intuitive and heartfelt guidance, and she helps people
to seize life with both hands.

So in this really inspiring
conversation we talk about how we can use achievement to buy enoughness, now
how many of you can relate to this? How we hang our worth on achievements,
whether that's how much money we earn, or getting a promotion, or getting likes
on a social media post we really get into this and how to get away from doing
this because it ultimately isn't very satisfying. We'll talk about how to
overcome over achieving, and this is different to high achieving by the way.

Overachieving is going much too far
than really is possible for a human being to go, and Mandy's had her own
experience of this, shares loads of stories about how she's experienced this
and overcome it and how she helps other people to as well. We'll talk about why
perfectionism can be used as an escape from anxiety, as a way to not have to
feel anxious if we are constantly striving. If we are trying to control what
other people think of us by putting on an image of perfection, we're trying to
protect ourselves from feeling anxiety and yet the process of trying to be
perfect actually creates a lot anxiety in itself.

Mandy also shares her favorite
practical tools, there are loads of things that you kind of want to be making a
note of and returning back to off this episode, and we also talk about how to
live life more juicy. So if you are looking to grow your confidence, I have a

TRANSCRIPT OF THE PODCAST

Chloe:
Hello, and welcome to The Calmer You Podcast. This is your host, Chloe
Brotheridge I am a coach and a hypnotherapist and an author of the anxiety
solution, and the new book Brave New Girl, which was out a couple of weeks ago.
This podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest, and
most confident self. And this week, I am interviewing someone that I have
basically followed for years and years, Madeleine Shaw. And it was such an
exciting thing for me to speak to her because I remember something like maybe
five or six years ago even having to go on a specific diet where I had to cut
out certain food because I was having loads of, you know, food intolerances and
IBS. And her website and her recipes was something that really helped me at the
time. And it was amazing to find someone that was making healthy eating cool.
So, I love this conversation with Madeleine. We talked about the pressure to
always be doing more. And Madeleine talks about this really candidly, about how
it can sometimes seem as though no matter what we've achieved, and matter how
successful we are, we never feel like we've done enough. And we really talk
about this phenomena and some ways to start to stop that from holding us back.
We talked about the top foods to eat and avoid when you're managing anxiety.
And she also shares with us her top tip for a daily practice that gives you
more time. Now, how many of us would like more time in the day? I know I would.
This is amazing. And we also talked about IBS. Now it's incredibly common, and
not that much talked about. But we talk about it and talk about how common it
is. And she has some ways that we can start to manage it.

So,
the reviews have started to come in from Brave New Girl for those that have
read it or listen to it on Audible. Just going to share with you a couple of
reviews from Amazon so you can learn a bit more. K said, “Reading Brave New go
I can relate to everything and felt as though Chloe had access to my brain. I
had seen all my doubts and issues I have with myself. I love the way she
explains and gives you an exercise to do which really helps you to understand.”
Donna said, “I absolutely loved Chloe’s new book and read it in a matter of
days. At times it felt like Chloe was reading my mind. As someone who has suffered
from my own incompetence and imposter syndrome,

Transcript:

Hello and welcome to The Calmer You podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge I am a coach and a hypnotherapist and I’m the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl which is out now. Thank you so much for listening today this is a solo episode on a Brave New Girl edition of the podcast. So, I'm going to be talking about confidence which is a topic of my new book Brave New Girl and I'm going to talk about how confidence isn't necessarily all it seems.

I'm going to be sharing some really simple ways to grow your confidence and I'm also going to be inviting you to join me in a challenge. I've already had loads of people joining and it's been so, so interesting to hear from you all so I'm really excited to share this with more people. As always I’m going to invite you to come over to calmeryou.com/free and grab your free anxiety busting tool kit if you haven't already. I've got amazing resources in there from worksheets to hypnotherapy Mp3's to affirmations, to access to our online community to get support from other people who are experiencing the same things as you.

So, we look at people like Adele and we assume that because she's so amazing at what she does that she must be super confident but the truth is that Adele has been known to get so nervous before her performances that she actually throws up. We look at people like Mel Robbins. You might know Mel Robbins, her book that is most famous is called the 5 Second Rule and she did a TED talk in 2011 and during her TED talk she comes across as totally together, calm, confident and collected and yet she talks about how the reality was that during that TED talk she was having a panic attack the whole time.

Even people like Michelle Obama and Meryl Streep have spoken about imposter syndrome and how they doubt themselves and how they sometimes they don’t feel good enough and so it's so easy to look at other people who appear to have it all together, who appear to have everything figured out and we assume that they do have it together and they've got it all figured out and that somehow they were just born confident and that it's actually just easy for them, it comes naturally for them and we could never do that we're not good enough for that.

We struggle, we doubt ourselves, we don't feel confident, we get scared and so we can never do you know the things that we really want to do. It means we don't put ourselves out there, speak up or share our art and so this is just one of the ways that we really hold ourselves back. When we peel below the surface of people that appear really confident we learn actually what looks like confidence is often courage.

Ep 56. Having the courage to speak up and make a change with Zanna Van Dijk

Tue, 07 May 2019 06:17:48 GMT

Extinction rebellion and David Attenborough have made climate change more and more in our minds, and alongside that, eco-anxiety is on the rise.

This episode is about being brave enough to face things, to speak up about what we believe in (even in the face of criticism) and choosing action over anxiety.

If you’re struggling with eco anxiety, I’m afraid this is not a podcast that is going to reassure you – but rather its a call to action for all of us to do what we can to change the situation. We can channel our anxiety into action and not just be paralysed by worry and feeling helpless. It takes courage to face this and to start to question our behaviours – no one is doing this perfectly so it’s really important to be kind to ourselves and know that it's not that we’ve been bad or done something wrong, but now is the time to educate ourselves and take action .

I talk to Zanna about:

-How to raise issues of the environment and having the courage to have difficult conversations (when maybe your friends and family don’t have the same views as you) -What action can we take to change things -Zanna shares a really interesting example of how she’s come under criticism and how she handles it

Chloe Brotheridge: So, hello and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. I’m a hypnotherapist and a coach and I’m the author of Anxiety’s Solution and the new book Brave New Girl and this is a Brave New Girl edition of the podcast and it’s all about helping you to become your calmest happiest and most confident courageous self. So, this week I'm talking to Zanna Van Dijk who is someone that I wanted to talk to for quite some time and we've seen a lot of stuff in the press recently with Extinction Rebellion and David Attenborough talking a lot about climate change and so it’s more and more at the front of our minds and I'm also hearing a lot about eco anxiety and how that is on the rise as well. This podcast is really about being brave enough to face the reality of things and to speak up about what we believe in even in the face of criticism and it's really about how we can start to choose action over anxiety because so often we have a tendency to ruminate over things or get paralyzed by the enormity of an issue and we feel unable to actually do anything about it. This is really about how we can channel our care and our concern which is valid into the action to make a better change. If you are struggling with eco anxiety I'm afraid this podcast episode is not necessarily going to reassure you as such it's not going to say to you, you know everything is going to be okay just relax don't worry. I'm afraid that isn't the case so if you really are struggling with eco anxiety it might be that listening to this isn’t the right thing for you right now. This is a call to action for all of us and it's about what we can do to change the situation and how we can channel our anxiety into making a change not just getting paralyzed by fear and worry and feeling helpless.
