Anxiety Reset Podcast

In this episode, I'm joined by the fantastic Jennifer Breheny Wallace - award-winning journalist, researcher, and author of Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose. We explore what it truly means to matter and how so many of us have been taught to seek validation instead of creating real connection. Jennifer shares powerful insights into why loneliness is rising, how hyper-independence is quietly disconnecting us, and what we can do to rebuild a sense of belonging and purpose in our lives. If you've been craving deeper connection, more meaning, or a stronger sense of your place in the world, this conversation will feel grounding, reassuring, and incredibly relevant. We talk about: The difference between seeking validation and genuinely adding value to others Why hyper-independence is leaving us lonely and what we actually need How to apply "mattering" to add connection and purpose to your life Where your real power lies when the world around you keeps changing Where to find Jennifer: Website: https://www.jenniferbwallace.com/ Instagram: @jenniferbrehenywallace Book: Mattering: https://amzn.to/3JAjpXV

In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Alex Nashton - a self-proclaimed neuroscience nerd, mindfulness practitioner, and coach who works deeply with both individuals and couples. She's also the host of the Mind Over Grey Matter podcast, where I had the pleasure of being a guest a couple of years ago. In this conversation, we dive into the science behind anxiety - not in an overwhelming way, but in a way that actually helps you understand what's happening in your brain and, more importantly, how change is truly possible. We explore neuroplasticity, the patterns that keep you stuck, and how to gently rewire your mind without falling into self-judgement. If you've ever felt frustrated that you "know better" but still feel stuck in anxious patterns, this episode will give you both clarity and hope. We talk about: What neuroplasticity means and how to maximise your brain's capacity for change at any age The neuroscience of anxiety: what's actually happening in the brain and why understanding it changes everything The mechanics of how old neural pathways dissolve and new ones take hold The self-judgement trap: why high-functioning women get caught in it and how to break the cycle Where to find Alex: Podcast: Mind Over Grey Matter Instagram: @alex_nashton 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by eczema and skin specialist Zoe Hunt. If you've experienced the anxiety, stress, and loss of confidence that can come with chronic skin issues — or you're a parent supporting a child through it — this conversation will feel deeply validating and eye-opening. We explore the emotional toll of skin conditions, especially for parents, and the often-overlooked connection between the nervous system, stress, and the body's ability to heal. Zoe brings a compassionate, whole-body approach that goes far beyond just "fixing the skin." If you've been stuck in cycles of frustration, trying everything and still not seeing lasting change, this episode will help you see things in a completely new way. We talk about: How a skin specialist naturopath finally solved her own child's chronic eczema How watching your child suffer in their skin creates a specific kind of parental anxiety that's hard to put into words How stress and nervous system dysregulation in the parent can directly impact a child's skin and immune response Why "fixing the skin" is often the last piece — and what needs to come first Join Zoe's FREE masterclass this month: https://portal.sageandwell.co.nz/masterlcass Where to find Zoe: Website: https://www.sageandwell.co.nz Instagram: @sageandwell Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the fabulous Hannah Gould, Melbourne University lecturer and author of How to Die in the 21st Century. Together, we explore a topic that many of us avoid, but in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and even a little bit light. We talk about what happens when we actually turn toward the idea of death instead of pushing it away, and how doing so can bring a surprising sense of calm. This conversation is an invitation to look at something often seen as heavy or uncomfortable and discover that it can actually create more peace, perspective, and presence in your life. If you've ever felt uneasy thinking about death, avoided the topic altogether, or struggled with loss and not knowing how to process it, this episode will support you in a really beautiful way. We talk about: Why talking about death can actually reduce anxiety, not increase it What "death neutral" means, and why it can feel like relief The hidden ways death avoidance shows up in high-functioning women How to talk about death and grieving when no one knows how Where to find Hannah: Website: https://www.hannahgould.com/ Instagram: @hrhgould 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the incredibly inspiring Scarlett Lewis, founder of the Choose Love Movement. Scarlett is the mother of Jesse, who was tragically killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. When I first heard her speak about forgiving the shooter, I was deeply moved and I knew we had to have this conversation on the podcast. This episode explores how we navigate unimaginable shock and grief, and the profound choice we all have when faced with tragedy: to live from fear and anger, or to choose love. Scarlett shares how she found her way through the darkest moment of her life and how that journey became the foundation for a global movement teaching children and communities how to respond to challenges with courage, compassion, and connection. If you've ever experienced loss, supported someone through heartbreak, or wondered how healing and forgiveness are even possible after tragedy, this conversation will touch your heart and leave you feeling deeply inspired. We talk about: Moving through shock and grief, and finding your way back to real moments of joy How the Choose Love Movement is shaping the next generation of children Forgiveness as a practice that can give you your power back (without bypassing the pain) How to create meaning after loss, and let love become something you live and pass on Where to find Scarlett: Website: chooselovemovement.org Instagram: @chooselovemovement 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie speaks to the experience of being in the in-between season, when the old way of life no longer fits but the next chapter hasn't fully arrived. She explores how to stay connected to yourself during the uncertainty, and why pushing for answers can sometimes create more friction in your system. You'll be guided into a more nervous-system-aware way of moving with life rather than against it, so this time becomes less frightening and more meaningful. It's an invitation to trust the unfolding, soften the inner pressure, and let this "void" shape you into more of who you're here to become. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie explores what it actually takes to come down after a big day when your body is tired but your mind still feels switched on. She shares a nervous-system-aware approach to unwinding that prioritises settling your physiology first, rather than trying to "think" your way into calm. You'll be guided into a more practical, compassionate way of releasing stress, processing what you've been carrying, and creating an evening rhythm that helps you feel grounded again. It's an invitation to end the day with less effort, less self-pressure, and more support in your system. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie shares the perfect morning routine for anxiety - especially if your anxiety hits hardest first thing in the day. She explains why anxiety often shows up in the mornings, what's happening in your nervous system and hormones, and why pushing yourself to "power through" can actually make it worse. Georgie then walks you through the exact steps to take when you wake up feeling anxious, offering a calm, practical approach that helps you feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and grounded as you start your day. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie shares a special guided meditation recorded live in the wake of the Bondi tragedy, created to help you step out of fear and back into your heart. If the world has felt heavy, unsafe, or hard to hold lately, this is a space to soften your nervous system, steady your body, and reconnect with what's still true: your capacity for love, presence, and choice. You'll be guided to release the collective tension we can carry after shocking events, come back to your breath, and anchor into a grounded inner state where fear isn't driving the storyline. You'll also be invited into a gentle visualisation for peace, hope, and healing - for yourself, for your community, and for humanity. This episode is for you if you've been feeling on edge, doom scrolling, emotionally flooded, or quietly questioning what kind of future we're creating. It's a reminder that while we can't control everything, we can choose how we respond. And when enough of us return to our hearts, that choice becomes powerful. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this week's episode, I sit down once again with the wonderful Madelyn Moon. You may know her for her hilarious Instagram skits about relationships — but behind the humour is a woman who does deeply embodied emotional work, helping others turn their inner world into art and truth. Madelyn shares how her unique approach to healing began, including childhood experiences that once left her terrified of being seen. If you've ever struggled with stage fright, judgment, or expressing your authentic self, her story will resonate. We also dive into a refreshing conversation about the relationship coaching world — specifically the pressure to be perfect, constantly "doing the work," and how to return to a more grounded, human approach to love. It's a rich, warm, and honest chat. I hope you love this one.

In this week's episode, I introduce you to the fabulous Amanda Kolbye — a powerhouse business coach who built a seven-figure brand, lived the ultimate laptop lifestyle, and travelled the world… until it all stopped working. Amanda hit a point of deep burnout — though burnout barely scratches the surface. What followed was a full dismantling of everything she'd built. She took a sabbatical, stepped away from her business, and entered what she calls "the messy middle" — that disorienting space between who you were and who you're becoming. If you've ever felt lost after success, struggled to pivot after outgrowing your old life, or felt the anxiety that comes with not knowing what's next — this episode will hit home in the best way. Amanda shares with such openness, honesty, and wisdom, and I know you'll feel so seen in her story. We cover: ✅ Amanda's journey from building a 7-figure business to everything breaking down ✅ What it feels like to sit in the messy middle — not fully in the old, not yet in the new ✅ When taking a break to heal becomes your full-time job ✅ Following a vision you can't ignore, even if it looks "crazy" from the outside Where to find Amanda Kolbye: 📲 Instagram & TikTok: @amandakolbye 🌐 Website: amandakolbye.com 🌿 Join the FREE Calm in 5 Days Challenge Doors are now open for Georgie's Calm in 5 Days Challenge — a free online experience starting October 27th.
