Ep 8. Am I Nuts... for worrying about worrying?

The Women's Running Podcast

Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the 8th episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

In this podcast, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way.

Worrying

This episode concentrates on anxiety, with Holly leading the worrying charge asking Dr Juliet McGrattan if there is actually a physical kickback from worrying too much about ourselves. We talk about panic attacks, and also hormonal shifts that can affect our moods and our anxiety. Juliet talks us through figuring out the difference between being anxious about something, and anxiety that might be causing a problem in terms of our day to day life. Are we nuts for worrying about worrying?
