Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson

Ikigai is often misunderstood- this beautiful Japanese word isn’t easily defined given the spectrum on which we can experience ikigai, and the different ways we can cultivate it. Ultimately, it’s a feeling. It’s different from happiness and is strongly tied to our future. It's tied to meaning and purpose, having a strong sense of self and, crucially, is tied to our values. In this episode Japanologist and Founder of Ikiga Tribe, Nick Kemp, shares the components of Ikigai, why it matters and how we can begin to cultivate it as we create fulfilling lives with moments of joy, and lifelong meaning and purpose.https://ikigaitribe.com/podcasts/https://ikigaitribe.com/ikigai/mieko-kamiya/https://ikigaikan.com/Connect with Nick Kemphttps://twitter.com/NicholasKemphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-kemp-author/Ikigai 9 QuestionairreValues In Action SurveyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This short and sweet episode is all about a game-changing strategy for anyone whose anxiety says "stop," "don't do it," "it feels too uncomfortable," or "let's put this off for later." This means that this episode is for all of us who live with anxiety!In this episode, I share a strategy called "Opposite Action." I explain what it is, why it's an essential tool in our toolkit, and a practical way to figure out exactly where to start. This strategy helps us put an end to procrastination and overwhelm that comes with waiting to not feel anxious, so we can get things done. It supports us to feel anxious and move forward anyway.Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

What can you do to help when your child won’t talk? They might be a chatterbox at home, perhaps even confident and loud! But in settings that provoke anxiety, they won’t say a word.

Today’s guest, Psychologist and renowned media commentator Dr Michael-Carr Gregg hasn’t seen anything like the rates of anxiety in children and teens in decades of clinical practice. Despite the incredible challenge of anxiety for young people and their families, he assures parents that it is treatable; and that parents play an important role in the process. In this conversation Michael explains anxiety just as he would to a family in his clinic, and shares the steps that work to help anxious young people develop the understanding and tools that work to wind anxiety back. It takes time, but is absolutely possible. He also explains the most powerful predictor of childhood wellbeing and the four tasks critical to healthy child wellbeing and development: Friendship, connecting with school, taking healthy risks and establishing an island of competence, and beginning to separate from their family of origin.We talk about school refusal, reassurance, graduated exposure, social media, how anxiety is a logic free zone and much more.Michael Carr-GreggTwitterScratch a Happy Adult, Find a Socially Connected ChildhoodA 32-Year Longitudinal Study of Child and Adolescent Pathways to Well-Being in Adulthoodhttps://brave4you.psy.uq.edu.au/https://moodgym.com.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

When was the last time you experienced awe? And what’s it got to do with anxiety? Hmmm, it can be a tricky one because we typically think awe comes from big moments, like seeing the Eiffel Tower, visiting the Grand Canyon, visiting Uluru or swimming with Whale Sharks. While each of those experiences is bound to elicit awe, we can actually experience awe in everyday moments, inside our homes or workplaces and outside in nature.In this episode Jake Eagle, Psychotherapist and co-author of The Power of Awe explains the powerful role of awe in reducing anxiety quickly, where we can find awe in everyday moments and how to use the A.W.E. strategy to elicit the greatest benefit from these moments.The Power of Awe is available for sale on Amazon.To learn more, go to https://thepowerofawe.comInstagram - @thepowerofawebookFacebook - The Power of AWETwitter - @ThePowerofAWETikTok - thepowerofaweThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
