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.

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.

Dr. Richardson has been an avid admirer of Dr. Libby's work for over a decade, and in this candid conversation, they dive deep into the topics of weight gain, period and fertility challenges, exhaustion, thyroid problems, and the overwhelm that many women experience. Dr. Libby introduces us to the concept of "Rushing Woman's Syndrome" and shares the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. She provides valuable insights on how we can turn things around and regain balance in our lives. Discover the 'why' behind these experiences, and how understanding can empower positive change. Are you a "rushing woman"? Dr. Richardson and Dr. Libby explore the need to do more and be everything to everyone. Listen as they discuss the exercise of asking yourself, "How do I need other people to see me?" and contemplate whether traits like kindness, thoughtfulness, or perfection resonate with you. This conversation hits close to home for many, offering a profound opportunity for reflection and transformation. Join us in this episode as we journey towards understanding and reclaiming our wellness.
