Summary
In this episode, Emma chats to Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary who returns to the podcast to explore how we can use those feelings of anxiety for our benefit.
Tracy was on the podcast back in May 2022 to discuss her book Future Tense, and saying that Emma and Tracy hit it off is an understatement. So, when Tracy travelled to London from the US recently, a face-to-face podcast was on the agenda.
Tracy shares with Emma the techniques we can all use actually to benefit from feelings of anxiety and see what they are trying to tell us and how they are steering us away from danger and towards great things. She also shares how important it is to reframe those feelings as things to embrace not something to eliminate.
They also unpick past traumas (Emma's time in school as someone who barely scraped by) and how the anxiety that caused at the time actually steered her towards her career now.
There's also an unhealthy amount of fantasising about Keanu Reeves, but you'll have to listen to the episode to understand why...
