Hello and welcome to the Calmar You podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach,

a hypnototherapist 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.

So today I have the pleasure and privilege of sharing with you

this conversation that I had with Sharu Izardy, who is someone that was on my podcast about a year

and a half ago. And following that podcast, we struck up a beautiful friendship and now we're

really quite good friends. So we recorded this, unfortunately, not in person. We recorded on lockdown. So we

are recording it online. She is the author of The Kindness Method. Her latest book is called

The Last Diet. And she shares with us an amazing technique for shifting your attention from what

your body looks like to what it

allows you to do. We talk about the links between anxiety and how we eat and Cheru shares about how

she handles anxiety and how she takes care of her own mental health. And we get into this topic,

which I quite often ask people, you know, why, Why is it that we find it so hard to be kind to

ourselves? And Cheru is literally the Queen of Kindness and she shares basically why this is and how we can

all remember to do it more. So if you want to get some freebies from me, I would love to send you

some hypnotherapy recordings and affirmations and things that can help

you on your path to becoming your best self. And so you can head over to calmeru.com forward slash free

and into your details there and I'll send you those threebies right away. And you can also find out

about my app and my one-on-one sessions of hypnotherapy and coaching. I do see a select number of clients

one-on-one on Zoom and you can find out all about that and you can book a call with me to see if it's

a good fit for you at Carmaru.com. So let's get into the interview with the wonderful Cheru

Izardi. Welcome, Sheru. Thank you so much for joining me today. How are you doing?
