| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Karma You podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, |
| 0:18.3 | a hypnototherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New |
| 0:22.7 | Girl. And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most |
| 0:28.1 | confident self. Hey, hope you're doing well today. So I'm actually just getting ready to go |
| 0:33.0 | away. We're going to Italy. Haven't been on holiday with my partner for three and a half years. |
| 0:38.1 | I don't know what happened there, how we haven't managed to get away abroad, but we're finally |
| 0:42.4 | going away. So I'm just having one of those days of trying to square everything away, getting |
| 0:46.2 | everything done. And I wanted to record this intro so I could get this episode with Josh |
| 0:51.7 | Fletcher or Anxiety Josh, as I know him as, it was such a good conversation. |
| 0:56.9 | Josh really makes me laugh. We actually went to the same college in the northwest of England, |
| 1:01.6 | not at the same time, but we know the same sort of areas and the same sort of places, |

| 1:11.9 | I followed him for ages. I love his perspective on things. He and I don't have the same |
| 1:16.7 | style or way of speaking about anxiety or teaching about anxiety. So I always love to get his |
| 1:24.0 | perspective and hear his frame on things. And we talk about his new book, which is |
| 1:30.1 | called, and how does that make you feel? And we dig into topics like becoming aware of the different |
| 1:35.8 | inner voices that we have. And I love how Josh shines a light on this, because we all have |
| 1:40.9 | inner voices. We have the anxiety voice. We have the inner critic voice. |
| 1:44.8 | We have that kind of detective voice sometimes going on on our heads. And it's quite funny to |
| 1:49.6 | have that highlighted and to realise that we all have these voices in our heads. We discussed dealing |
| 1:56.4 | with what if thoughts, which let's face it, we all have. And it's a huge part of anxiety, isn't it? If not the defining thing of anxiety to think what if thoughts, which, let's face it, we all have. And it's a huge part of anxiety, |
| 2:01.2 | isn't it? If not the defining thing of anxiety to think what if thoughts. So I love Josh's |
