This is the place to be to become<br />\nyour calmest, happiest, and most confident self. And this is your host, Chloe<br />\nBrotheridge. I am a coach and a hypnotherapist. I'm the author of The Anxiety<br />\nSolution and Brave New Girl. Today, I'm so lucky to get to speak the Marianne<br />\nPower, who is the author of the brilliant book, Help Me, which is her<br />\nexperience of reading a different self-help book every day for a year, and<br />\nputting things into practice, and seeing what the results were for her. And<br />\nthis book is firstly, very, very funny, and secondly, very helpful, comforting,<br />\ninspiring, reassuring. There are practical assets in there as well. I really<br />\nthink you're gonna love it. And so myself and Marianne talked about facing your<br />\nfears, and Marianne really has faced a lot of fears and she shares some of the<br />\nincredible things that she's done through the course of writing this book, and<br />\nI think it's quite amazing. I'm very, very in awe of her. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWe<br />\ntalked about the things that Marianne has found the most, and also the least<br />\nhelpful from all the things that she's tried on her self-help journey. We also<br />\nget into how to handle her fear of public speaking. So, many of us struggle<br />\nwith this, and Marianne shares really beautifully about her experience of that<br />\nand what she's doing is overcome it. And she just gives some really reassuring,<br />\nlovely, comforting words of advice to people who are struggling with anxiety<br />\nand depression. And this podcast, I hope is going to feel like a big hug and a<br />\nreassuring message that you are actually okay. And you're not as bad as you<br />\nthink you are basically. In fact, you're wonderful. So, I really hope you’re<br />\ngoing to enjoy this episode.
