Summary

For this episode I am joined by Ali Ryan, CEO and founder of popular website GOSS.ie. Ali kindly shares her story with me, after having experienced public shaming following a sexual encounter with a former partner that she had assumed was private but found out it had been recorded and then shared without her consent. The anxiety that ensued was crippling for this woman who now bravely opens up about something that to this day is incredibly difficult for her. We also talk generally about public shaming, cancel culture and how nasty things can get online, which can be such a source of anxiety for all of us listening too.

My new book NAKED is out now, and as per the title, it will change your life, I promise! Buy it here if you're in Ireland, or here if outside of Ireland.

0:23.3	Hello, dear listener and welcome to Season 5 of Owning It, the Anxiety Podcast, with me, Caroline
0:28.7	Forin. I'm the author of Owning It and The Confidence Kit and my new book is called Naked Ten
0:34.2	Truths to Change Your Life, and it's all about the power of vulnerability and how a willingness to be vulnerable can really make you invulnerable, and of course that
0:41.3	will bring down your anxiety levels massively too. Fittingly, my guest for this episode is
0:45.9	Ali Rine, or Alexander Rine. She's the CEO and founder of a very prominent website here in Ireland
0:51.0	called goss.a.e, and she is here to share her very harrowing story of
0:55.7	an experience around being publicly shamed that I don't know how anyone, even the strongest person in the
1:01.3	world, I don't know how they would cope with it and the anxiety that it brought on. But more
1:05.0	specifically, we talk about anxiety around what people will think of us, anxiety around being
1:09.3	cancelled with their fear of being cancelled, anxiety around what you can control versus what you can't. And Ali's story is incredible and
1:16.2	what she's doing is incredible and it's going to help so many people and I do hope you enjoy. Thank you
1:20.0	so much.
1:26.7	I'm joined now by Alexander Ryan. I can call you Ali, can I? Of course you can, yeah.
1:32.1	But Alexandra is such a beautiful name. I really wanted to say your full name.
1:35.6	CEO of goss.e and founder and you've got many, many strings to your bow.
1:41.2	Unfortunately, the conversation we're having today is not about how incredible gosh is and all your
1:47.5	achievements but something not so nice that you had to experience and go through that led you to
1:52.1	feel crippling anxiety and you say you're already an anxious person to begin with and so I really
1:57.7	want and I'm very grateful that you can share your story with us and hopefully we can give some solace to listeners who are in a similar situation. So thank you so much for
2:05.1	joining me, Ellie. No problem. Thanks for having me on. Of course, my pleasure. So I suppose
2:10.5	just for a bit of context for anyone who isn't aware, you recently shared an article on goss.a.e,
