Summary

This week I am so happy to be joined by the man who goes by one name only - Bressie. Bressie has been a major support for me through my own experience of owning it and getting my first book published and despite his hectic schedule and his own brilliant podcast - Where is my mind podcast - he took some time out to sit down with me and have a long chat about his own experience. What was happening in his life when his anxiety reached its apex, why he decided to share it with the world, what changed when he did, what he hopes to see changing at a wider societal level now and how he manages it to this day so that it never gets the better of him again. This episode is packed full of advice.

Hello, dear listeners, and welcome back to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Forin.

This week on the show, I'm thrilled to finally have had the chance to sit down with Nile Breslin, known to everyone as Bresi.

1:06.6

He is the creator of the Where Is My Mind podcast, author of several books, all around hero of mental health in Ireland and is having such a profound impact on how we look after ourselves and even at a government and a school level, what we can do to make sure that we're managing our anxiety and feeling as well as we can be.

1:24.9

He joined me to have a brilliant chat about his own experience of anxiety,

1:29.1

where it all started for him when it came to a head, what changed for him when he began to address it.

1:33.8

And then we obviously talk about the wider issue of how he can take what he's learned and his coping

mechanisms and help the rest of us. So enjoy. As always, thank you so much for subscribing.

2:09.4

My pleasure. I listened to, well, I've listened to a good few of your episodes, but last night I did a 20 minute body scan. It just made me realize that I am a crisis meditator and I

2:18.7

kind of only go to it when I really am in desperate need. And actually yesterday I just was like,

2:23.0

I'm just going to do this. And I got so much more from it just by doing it, you know, on the

2:27.3

regular. And then my phone rang in the middle of it and I ate the head off my husband. I was like, I'm fucking meditating. And he's like, I can see it's really working for you. Well, the thing about it is, it's funny because when I first put the, the meditations

2:39.4

attached to the podcast, I kind of, I, because I'm new to the world of podcasting, I don't know,

2:45.4

really, didn't really know how it worked. And I said, I'll listen back to make sure it's all running well, and then this big ad came in the middle of my body scan.
