Hello, dear listener and welcome back to owning it the

anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Forin. This week, I am honing in specifically on exam anxiety.

It's that time of year, whether you're a student or you have exams of any kind, at any stage or age.

This is a fear with which we are all familiar. I know I still have nightmares

about them myself. I wake up in floods of sweat, but what can we do to manage this anxiety that can

be pretty much unavoidable around exams? To give us the tools we need, as well as the mindset

tweaks that will really make a difference, I'm joined by Mary Bradley. Mary specialises in teen well-being.

She has been a secondary school teacher for 10 years and she's also a trained breathwork

and meditation instructor and life coach. So she just really gets it on both sides. With online

workshops and meditation classes, Mary helps students to sit their exams feeling calm, focused and

prepared. She she also just

has the most divine, soothing, Lesser-Kenny-Dunegall accent. So listening alone will surely

down-regulate her stress response here. Another really helpful resource for exam anxiety would also be

to tap into some of my owning-at-real-time audio guides, which you can access in the episode notes.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this chat.

Mary, thank you so much for joining me on Owning at the Anxiety podcast.

It's a pleasure to have you here, all the way from Letterkenny.
