And maybe that compass is pointing you towards something important, which is your values, which makes your values not unlike your own North Star. Hear me out and let me know what you think! Lots more to come with the next season. Follow me on @OwningItPodcast.

| 0:20.1 | Hello and welcome to Owning the anxiety podcast with me, |
| 0:24.0 | your host and author of the books that this podcast is based on, Caroline Forin. For anyone just |
| 0:29.5 | joining me now, welcome to what is actually the last episode of this current season. I'm going to |
| 0:34.7 | take a quick break. I'm planning something new and exciting when it |
| 0:39.0 | comes to owning it, some new content separate to the podcast that you're used to that I cannot |
| 0:44.3 | wait to share with you and all will be revealed soon. When I come back with the next season, |

| 1:33.5 | That has always been the goal. That has always been my laser focus of this series. |
| 1:37.3 | And I know it's easy to get pulled away on different tangents. And when you're talking about anxiety, you can go in lots of different directions. And it's really important to me to always |
| 1:43.3 | bring it back to how can I help the listener |
| 1:47.3 | and myself better understand and better manage anxiety, all which comes together under the umbrella |
| 1:53.9 | of owning it. So as I've said from day one, it's never been about curing anxiety or getting rid of it |
