Hello, dear listener. I hope you're feeling good on the anxiety front as you tune into owning it. I have had to take a bit of a break to support my very anxious

two-year-old, the irony of which is not lost on me. And if you follow me on Instagram, you will know

what I'm talking about. We've been dealing with a lot of separation anxiety, which I will

explore in another solo episode.

But I'm trying to get back to regular programming here

as best I can.

This is an episode I recorded just a few weeks ago

with the brilliant Dr. Leah Katz.

She's a clinical psychologist and a best-selling author.

Her book is called Goodsy.

She's working on another one right now. She's been on the show before to talk about people pleasing, but here we are talking about relationship anxiety,

but more specifically anxiety in our friendships, which I think is a hugely under-explored topic

and something I have definitely experienced. I would say I experience it on a daily basis.

We also touch on how to communicate your actual anxiety, like not just anxiety about

something, but the fact that you're anxious, either to a friend or in your romantic relationships,

but as I say, the thrust of this chat is mostly friendships and something I was really excited

to learn about, which is dual realities. Please, if you haven't yet, sign up to owning it real

time to help manage your anxiety right in the moment that it's happening for you. I know that it has already helped so many listeners,

and I would be so grateful for your support over there. In the meantime, enjoy this episode,

and don't forget to share and review.
