For this episode I am joined by the incredible Dr Joanna Fortune who has been a guiding light through my experience of supporting my child with significant anxiety (separation anxiety in particular). We discuss different types of play therapy, why some might work better than others, the limbic leap for the brain and lots more around anxiety and development. Learn more about Joanna here.

I'm breaking up my output of experts with a first person account of what it's like living with a level of generalised anxiety that can come into play at various points of life. Rosemary MacCabe, journalist and author shares her story which includes her anxiety reaching a crescendo while working in a toxic environment - it was the wrong workplace that lit the match for my own anxiety too. From workplace anxiety to panic attacks to moving to America and becoming a mother, there's a lot to relate to here.

For this episode I am joined by Dr Vanessa LaPointe who is an incredibly successful and widely celebrated psychologist specialising in parenting. We talk about behaviourist parenting - the way most of us were likely parented - and the impact that would have on us when it comes to anxiety later on. We focus heavily on the experience of parenting a highly anxious child (which is my personal experience at the moment) and look at precisely what three steps to take to move a child out of an acute anxiety phase as well as what to say to an anxious kid. Whether you're a parent of an anxious kid or were an anxious kid yourself, this will be a must listen. You can support this podcast by sharing it with a friend or signing up to my Substack.

Millie Mackintosh returns to Owning It to take a deep dive into her experience of anxiety, with a particular focus on alcohol. Her new book, Bad Drunk, is out now and a wonderful read whether or not you question your relationship to alcohol. In this episode we also discuss how Millie's anxiety shows up and her decision to start taking medication and the unhelpful, societal shame that often goes along with that.
