Transcript
Hello and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self.
Chloe Brotheridge: So, welcome to this episode. This is a COVID-19 themed episode. Today, after this week, I'm going to be going back to my pre-recorded episodes that I planned, obviously, before this whole situation kicked off. So, perhaps that will be a bit of distraction, a bit more normality to get back to. So, hopefully I'll look forward to that.
But this week, I'm talking to the wonderful Dr. Frankie Jackson-Spence, who is a GP, and she has been sharing a lot about the facts around COVID-19, and busting a lot of myths and helping people to feel calmer and less anxious by spreading helpful information. So, I really wanted to speak to her about this topic.
So, she shares about how she's handling it, how her job has changed as a result of this crisis. We talk about the importance of physical distancing. She busts some of the most common myths that she hears and she shares her tips for feeling calm in the face of the situation.
I also want to let you know that I've created a new tool kit which is designed to help you to feel calm and resilient in uncertain times. You can check out on my website at calmer-you.com/benddontbreak. So, that's calmer-you.com/benddontbreak. So, let's get into the interview with Dr. Frankie.
This episode is sponsored by my favourite active wear brand, Sweaty Betty. They’re all-female design team. So, it’s the best technical fabrics, which means our products perform under the toughest conditions and feel amazing on your skin.
All products are also wearer trialed by female staff to ensure they perform and flatter and fit the female body. If the staff don’t love it, it doesn't get made.
There are so many active wear brands to shop from, but Sweaty Betty is special because all their products from run and yoga to swim and ski are engineered to last. This is not fast fashion, it's high quality. And I have several pieces from Sweaty Betty that I've had for years and I continue to wear and love.
Sweaty Betty now has a host of sustainable products, including the super sculpt leggings made from post-consumer plastic bottles.
