Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to owning it the Anxiety Podcast with me, Caroline Forin. My guest this week is the super lovely and very kind and very willing to be vulnerable

Cressida bonus who shares her story of anxiety with me.

She's an actress, she's a writer, and she's the creator of an incredible podcast called Fear

Itself, which is just brilliant. It features guests, including Sir Richard Branson, Ellie Goulding,

so many more, and it's all about unpacking fear. So in this episode, we unpack Cressida's

fear, whereas in her series, she's talking to other people

about their experience of fear. So I found this really useful, really helpful. I really appreciate

Cressida being so open and honest with me and being very real about the fact that, you know, she's

still figuring it out. She still sometimes struggles with anxiety, and we all do. It's not about getting

to a point of never feeling it again again because that's just not real life.

So I hope you find this helpful. I certainly did. And yeah, let me know what you think. Always appreciate the reviews, the feedback, anything.

I guess to start, I want to congratulate you on your recent role in White House Farm, your engagement last year. I saw that. That's very exciting. And the podcast, Fear itself, you have some really interesting guests on there. So I'd love to ask you to get our conversation going. Who has been your favourite so far? And what has been,

I suppose, your biggest aha moment about fear from those conversations? Well, first of all,

thank you so much for having me onto this podcast because I've only recently found it.

And I love it. And I've learned so much from all your episodes so I'm really really happy I'm

talking to you today so thank you oh my pleasure so they're all so different all my guess and

that's what's so lovely about it because we all have fear you know that's that's something that we all feel. And that's

what's been really interesting is that everyone's coming from such a different point of view and

different experiences and a different walks of life. So I don't have a favorite, a favorite person, but I've learned so much. And what I feel with

the majority of people is that so many of our fears are in the future rather than now. So I feel

like it's more the anticipation rather than the actual action of doing something is more frightening in our head.
