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. Hello, hello,

And yeah, it's such a fascinating topic.

We talk about how to heal and how to feel more secure in life and love.

Jessica gives her advice for parents on raising secure children.

I have made a brand new free resource for you.
