EP 358: The Neuroscience of Anxiety with Alex Nashton
Anxiety Reset Podcast
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,...

EP 357: Listen To This To Feel Safe & Supported - A Guided Experience For High-Functioning Women
Anxiety Reset Podcast
In this episode, Georgie invites you to set everything down - your to-do list, your responsibilities, the version of you that's been showing up and delivering all day - and simply let yourself be held. This isn't a lesson. There's nothing to take notes on and nothing to action. It's a guided experience created for the woman who has been carrying a lot, moving fast, and giving generously - and who is ready, finally, to exhale. Find somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and let Georgie's voice bring you home. Drawing on her deep understanding of the nervous system and the anxious mind, this...

EP 356: Chronic Skin Issues, Anxiety & Parenting with Zoe Hunt
Anxiety Reset Podcast
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...

EP 355: Do I Want to Be a Mother? The Inner Conflict with Georgie Collinson
Anxiety Reset Podcast
In this episode, Georgie shares something deeply personal - the internal conflict she navigated around becoming a mother, not because she didn't want children, but because something about the version of motherhood she'd witnessed didn't feel like something she could choose. She always knew she would be a mother. She knew she'd be good at it. And yet for a long time, she resisted the idea with everything she had - the loss of freedom, the structural lack of support for women once they step into that role, and the template she was given by her own mother. A woman who was truly wonderful,...

EP 354: How to Be Death Neutral (and Why It Makes Life Lighter) with Hannah Gould
Anxiety Reset Podcast
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...

EP 353: How to Find Calm When the World Feels Out of Control with Georgie Collinson
Anxiety Reset Podcast
In this episode, Georgie explores what so many of us are feeling right now: the relentless weight of the news cycle, the uncertainty, the noise, and the low-grade anxiety that comes from trying to make sense of a world that feels increasingly unpredictable. Rather than offering false reassurance, Georgie gets honest about why this moment feels so intense, and then walks you through four grounding practices to help you reclaim your sense of self when everything outside of you feels unstable. From setting intentional boundaries around what you consume, to returning to the certainty that already...

EP 352: Finding Joy Again After Unthinkable Tragedy with Scarlett Lewis
Anxiety Reset Podcast
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...

EP 351: Stop Over-Intellectualising Your Nervous System with Georgie Collinson
Anxiety Reset Podcast
In this episode, Georgie shares an honest take on the nervous system regulation world, and why it can sometimes become so jargon-heavy that it pulls you further into your mind instead of back into your body. She explores the recent criticism and debate around Polyvagal Theory as a reminder to hold any framework lightly, and to stay connected to what actually helps you feel safer, steadier, and more like yourself. This conversation is about simplifying, trusting your instincts, and remembering that your body already has a deep intelligence for soothing and settling. You’ll leave feeling less...

EP 350: Don't Worry, You're In "The Void" with Georgie Collinson
Anxiety Reset Podcast
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...

Anxiety Reset Podcast
In this episode, I’m joined by our resident Inner Voice Facilitator, Georgie Bryant. She leads our monthly Inner Voice classes inside the Calm Woman Collective, and she’s also a dear friend of mine - we regularly meet to connect with each other’s inner voices. If you’ve been feeling the pull to connect more deeply with your intuition, stop outsourcing your answers, and finally untangle the knots of an anxious mind, this episode is for you. There’s never been a more important time to come back to your own inner knowing because anxiety softens when you start listening to the part of...
info_outlineIn this episode, I’m joined by Hollie Azzopardi, author of The People Pleaser’s Guide to Putting Yourself First and The People Pleaser’s Guide to Saying Yes to You. We dive into what it actually takes to stop people-pleasing and start honouring your own needs without the guilt that so often comes with it.
Hollie opens up about her experience with mould illness and the surprising symptoms that finally made her pay attention to her body. We explore how people-pleasing disconnects us from our inner signals, and how becoming a mum shifted her identity, intuition, and boundaries in a profound way.

In this episode, we explore:
-
Hollie’s journey through mould illness and the surprising symptoms she had

The connection between people-pleasing and losing touch with your body’s signals
