Summary

Join me on Instagram for more resources, tips, clips and more: @owningitpodcast.

This week I am joined by someone who gives me actual LIFE on social media: @mamastillgotit's Louise Boyce. Louise has amassed a huge audience for normalising life with toddlers, she is a tonic for any parent fed up with the more sanitised portrayal of parenthood that pervades social media. Here she shares her experience of anxiety with me, from her teen years as a model, where it manifested as an eating disorder, right through to becoming a parent of three children and the anxiety that hit many of us like a tonne of bricks: Covid. For Louise, and for all of us watching, humour and her brilliant videos became her release. This episode looks at anxiety from a body image perspective (as we did with Jessica Megan) as well as general stress and overwhelm due to Covid.

0:28.9	Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to owning it, the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Foreign. I'm so happy this week. I mean, I'm always happy. I say that every week. I'm
0:33.0	never not happy to have a guest, but this week I'm ecstatic to have someone who, if I followed
0:37.0	for a while
0:37.6	on Instagram, Louise Boyce, and she is known as Mama Still Got It on Instagram. And if you're a
0:42.8	parent on social media, you either will have heard of her or if you haven't, you will be so
0:47.6	grateful that I've now brought her to your attention because she is just the tonic that everyone
0:51.4	needs. She normalizes the difficult parts of parenting in such a
0:55.4	hilarious way. It is incredibly validating and just, yeah, the tonic that makes me get through

1:12.0	episode, obviously she shares her story with me, the different points in her life where anxiety
1:16.0	came to a head, particularly during COVID, which is common for most people that got really
1:20.5	tough during COVID with the expectation of having to keep all the plates spinning at home and
1:24.5	homeschooling. I think a lot of people relate to that. So yeah,

1:55.9	life is nice. Yeah, it's nice. You have been very busy lately on top of having three kids.
