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

hypnotologist 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 welcome to today's

episode. I am joined by Dr. Sarah

Vora, who is a consultant psychiatrist. So she is the perfect person to speak to about all things

mental health and mental well-being. She's got a new book out called The Mind Medic. She's also called The Mind Medic on

Instagram. You might have heard of her. Your five senses guides are leading a calmer, happier life.

And I think this is a brilliant book for anyone that wants to be calmer and happier. That's probably

all of us listening. So we get into topics such as saying no. And I love the example that Sarah shares to help us to

think about saying no in a different way. We talk about dealing with comparison, particularly,

you know, around lockdown. Most of us have been on our devices on social media more than ever.

It's more of a problem than ever, unfortunately, but Sarah has some really good advice on this one.

We talk about a really powerful technique to deal with worries, and we talk about how to use

your senses to calm anxiety. If you would like some free resources to help you to be more

confident, ditch the imposter syndrome, quite the inner critic. You can head over to my website,

calmer you.com, forward confidence and download my free affirmations for confidence.

If you've been telling yourself negative things about yourself, it's time to turn that around

and start to say some positive, encouraging things to yourself instead. And you can head over to

my website, calbue.com,

forward slash confidence and get that freebie now. So let's get into the interview with Dr. Sarah

Vera. Good. So welcome, Sarah. Thank you so much for joining me today. How are you doing? I'm all right.

Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I am so excited about your new book, which is out on the 16th of July. We'll talk about that
