Sensitive Women & Anxiety—a Chat with the Anxiety Slayer

Jul 13, 2021

We begin this episode with an essay I wrote about a mindset that afflicts of us all from time to time—scarcity. Whether it’s time or money, you’ve probably been there. I share the discoveries I learned after reading an excellent book (linked below) about it.

My guest, Shann Vander Leek, co-host of the popular Anxiety Slayer podcast, has a lot to say about anxiety. Specifically, how it weaves its way in to our psyches and refuses to let go until it’s damn good and ready. Among other things, we explored in our chat whether anxiety could actually be contagious? And why SO MANY PEOPLE are more anxious than ever in the US. (Hello Pandemic!)

Among other things, I learned:

• How screen time and COVID have brought us here
• What happens we get on our screens
• The link between anxiety and sensitive people
• Grounding activities for remembering who you are
• Grounding activities you can even do in a business meeting
• How our harshness affects us
• Meditation and its impact on anxiety
• Breathing exercises to bring you back down

Shann’s a wonder and this is a very rich episode. Enjoy!
