Hello, dear listener. Welcome to Owning It the Anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Foran.substack.com. Thank you. Hello, dear listener. Welcome to owning it the anxiety podcast with me,

Caroline Forne. For this episode, I'm joined by the most incredibly inspiring woman. I was just

hanging on her every single word. Her name is Gladys McGarry. She's 102 years old. She recently

published a book called The Well-Lived Life and she has quite the

story to tell. We talk about anxiety today versus what she knew of it when she was starting

out as a physician, her own experience of anxiety through her separation, carving out a space

for herself in a very male-dominated profession, being judged, being taken seriously, and a rare encounter with

Mahatma Gandhi. She shares a lot of sage advice and she is just a wonderful storyteller. I hope you

will enjoy this chat and take something from it. I know I did. And don't forget to sign up

to owning it real time, which you can access at the link in the show notes and learn to manage

your anxiety in the moment that it's happening for you from right now.

Well, thank you so much for taking the time to join me.

I'm so honored and this is probably the most nervous I've ever been and I've done so many podcasts because you are such an incredibly accomplished woman and I'm just,

I'm so blown away by your life, all that you've achieved.

Thank you. Thank you. I think the name ofarry comes from Ireland. It's either Ireland or Scotland. I don't know which, but...

It definitely sounds like there's an Irish link there. There's so many things that I want to ask you about. I was sharing on Instagram that I was meeting with you and everyone had so many questions

because I think a question that comes up so often is, you know, what would we tell ourselves,

our younger selves or how will we feel about this when we're a certain age?
