Hello, dear listener and welcome to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Foreign. So I wanted to sit down with myself and record another solo episode for, I guess,

two reasons. The first is that I've noticed my own anxiety rising with me

again over the last few days. And I think it's important for you guys listening to know that it's

something that still does pop up for me and for me to talk about what I do when it does.

The second reason is that when so many of my episodes are interview based, it becomes very work

related for me,

and I sort of tend to separate myself from the anxiety in order to create the series.

But sometimes I really need to check in with myself and remind myself that this is also my journey.

I hate the word journey, but there you go. I'm also still figuring things out and learning

and owning it as I go. So I think it's fair to say I've come a really

long way and sometimes I need to remind myself that, you know, I never would have thought back in 2014

when my anxiety was just all consuming that I would be doing any of the things that I'm doing today.

I'm going travelling around Japan, Thailand, I'm speaking at events almost every fortnight.

I got married.

I bought a house.

I like God, I never ever thought I would have been able to cope with a wedding way back when.

I've written two books.
