Send us a textIn this beautiful conversation with Izzy Judd, we explore her ‘real story’ with anxiety. Sharing such stories feels important, as they offer hope from people with lived experience. Izzy gives hope by generously sharing what she went through and how she has learned to meet her anxiety with compassion and understanding instead of fear. In this episode, Izzy opens up about her own experiences and personal growth, as well as her path to becoming a mindfulness practitioner and host of the BBC Sounds Music and Meditation podcast. Her story is full of hope and serves as an invaluable resource to anyone struggling with anxiety. Additionally, Izzy’s calming and soothing voice adds another layer of softness to this much-needed conversation. Please be mindful that this episode includes discussions about Izzy’s journey with fertility, IVF, and miscarriage. If you’re affected by anything we discuss, I encourage you to reach out to someone you trust. I’ve also included links to charities that may be able to offer support.

In fact, this isn’t just a parenting book; this is a book for anyone interested in building healthier relationships and stands as one of my favourites in the field.
