EP 102: Managing Anxiety, Facial Blushing, and Preventing Burnout with Sophie Scott
Intense stress can cause individuals to develop symptoms of anxiety due to over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system which can often lead to burnout. In Sophie Scott's case, she experienced debilitating symptoms of burnout and today she is sharing how we can soothe and support our nervous systems to not only manage stress and anxiety but also to prevent burnout. Let me introduce you to Sophie. She is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker on topics such as preventing burnout, managing your mental well-being during times of change, the science of high-performance habits, and how to use neuroscience to stick to new habits and overcome unwanted ones. An award-winning journalist and former National Medical Reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Sophie now helps tens of thousands of people around the world using evidence-based science and her own personal journey. She has a strong presence on social media, has been invited to speak at the World Congress on Positive Psychology, and has written two books (Live a Longer Life—ABC Books) and Road Testing Happiness (Harper Collins). She has won major awards for her journalism and medical reporting including a prestigious Eureka Award. Sophie is an Advisory Board Member of the Australian National Mental Health Prize and sits on the advisory board on stigma at Australia’s National Mental Health Commission and the University of Melbourne’s Contemplative Studies Centre. She is also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Notre Dame University Medical School lecturing in science communication. We are pleased to have Sophie on the show! So come listen in!
