Episode Summary:

If you've ever felt anxious when things are actually going well, this episode is for you.

Martha's story: How stability triggered anxiety, why "I'm not creative" became her biggest lie, and what wild swimming taught her about being human.

Listen if you:

  • Feel anxious even when you "should" be grateful
  • Tell yourself stories about what you can't do
  • Wonder why the good times sometimes feel harder than the bad ones
  • Think you're not the "creative type"


35 minutes of honest conversation about anxiety, creativity, and the stories we tell ourselves.


Key takeaways

  • Anxiety can emerge during stability, not just chaos - Sometimes when life finally settles, we start feeling things we've been too busy to process
  • From "I hate the Lake District" to finding peace in wild swimming - Our strongest "never" statements often hide our greatest transformations
  • "I'm not creative" to oil painting success - Challenging lifelong assumptions can unlock parts of ourselves we never knew existed
  • Making people laugh can be armour we outgrow - Using humour to deflect and fit in might protect us but can also disconnect us from our authentic selves
  • Therapy isn't just for crisis moments - Investing in mental health maintenance when things are good can be life-changing

Quotable Moments:

"I think marriage is a continual choice. Whether that takes 10 years to get married or it takes nine months to get married, if you are with somebody that is willing to work on it with you... the time thing doesn't make a big difference."

"It was paralysing to be honest and it was so different to who I thought I was... I didn't want to leave the house ever. And that was crazy to me because I'm a social person."

"There's a peace that you cannot describe... being in the middle of a lake, just looking around and taking that in, it makes you realise that you're quite small... it reminds you of the big things in life."
