| 0:20.1 | Hello, dear listener and welcome back back to owning it the anxiety podcast |
| 0:24.2 | with me, Caroline Foran. I am, first of all, going to apologise for the stop-start nature of this season. |
| 0:33.3 | If you follow me on social media, you will know that I've had a bit of a bumpy ride of it lately. |
| 0:39.8 | And as such, had to just shelve everything work-wise and lean into my situation, which was to support my son through very, really intense separation anxiety, |
| 0:57.0 | which had a massive impact on me and still is having one. |
