I get things going with an essay I wrote back in 2017 that still applies today—how to avoid being ‘insanely busy’. Because, let’s admit it, if you’re here… you probably are. May you find in this little piece a few nuggets you’ve been looking for.

Do you want to deal with your anxiety? Gina Ryan, host of The Anxiety Coaches podcast has your back in this episode’s interview. As a nutritionist and anxiety thought leader in Maui, Hawaii, she finds many subtle and important connections between food, anxiety and our general level of well-being. But that’s not all … Gina and I got into all sorts of interesting material here.

Among other things, we covered:

• The important connection between anxiety and food
• Why do we eat from boredom?
• How to override the usual snack cues
• How to manage anxiety throughout the day
• The impact of screen time on anxiety
• Repressed grief and its impact on anxiety
