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. Hello, hello and

welcome to today's podcast.

I'm very excited to be joined by the wonderful Tony Tone, who is a content creator.

She's a speaker, an author.

She's got this amazing book out called I Wish I knew this earlier, Lessons on Love.

And it became an instant Sunday Times bestseller. And yeah, she's well known

for talking about relationships for her very brilliant tweets that just pack in so much wisdom

into a very small number of characters. But yeah, we talk about how we can get better at communicating in relationships. We talk about

how Tony learned to love herself and you can too. And we both talk about, you know,

personal experiences that we've had earlier in our lives, in relationships. You know, if you

follow him on Instagram, you know, I've spoken about this,

how I've been my partner for 12 years, but it was kind of, yeah, it was definitely very difficult

in the beginning. It was challenging, I think, because of my anxiety and my insecurity. So we kind of

dig into that a little bit as well. We talk about getting off the achievement treadmill.

I asked Tony, you know, one of my

favorite questions to ask guests is, you know, what's something that you're struggling with

at the moment? Just to show that other side that it doesn't matter how successful you might be or how

glamorous your Instagram, you know, everyone's struggling with something. She talked about this

idea of, you know, the next thing, the next thing.

You know, what's the next achievement that you've got to do once you've ticked something off?
