Hello, dear listener and welcome back to Season three of Owning It, the Anxiety Podcast,

with me, Caroline Forre. I am the author of owning it and the confidence kit,

So welcome to season three. If you've only just joined me, this is a different kind of season.

Because of the pandemic, I've sort of adapted to making shorter episodes that are probably a bit more relevant to what we're going through right now.

First of all, having guest chats is a little bit more difficult because I'd like to be in person for some of that.

And obviously, that's not possible right now.

But I wanted to really create some specific helping tools and techniques that might really make a difference to someone

during the pandemic where we're feeling lots of extra anxiety. So that's why they're a little bit

shorter this season if you're wondering. I want to take a moment at the top of this episode to say

thank you so much for the ongoing support and for the positive feedback. I am just incredibly

grateful for the amount of messages I receive

almost on a daily basis that tell me about, you know,

those of you who have found not just the podcast,

but the books incredibly helpful.

And I just live for seeing those photos of post-its and folded pages

and the notes that you make and owning it.

And the fact that it's something that you proactively return to again and again,
