S4 EP1 - Women and Anxiety_The Intro: "At some point, every woman has faced anxiety"

This episode includes discussions around anxiety, trauma, emotional distress, and coping behaviours. Please listen gently and prioritise your wellbeing.In this opening episode of our Women and Anxiety series, we explore what anxiety really is and how it uniquely affects women. From hormonal shifts to perfectionism, trauma to emotional labour, we unpack the invisible weight many of us carry every day.We talk about how women often internalise anxiety in ways that go unnoticed through people-pleasing, mutism, or over-functioning and why recognising it is the first step to healing.Plus, each episode in this series ends with a surprise: a guided emotional regulation exercise to help you reconnect with your body and breath in real time. You don’t want to miss this moment of calm.For those in Australia, the Black Dog Institute (https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/) offers mental health resources and support services.
