Anxiety doesn’t usually show up out of nowhere... it starts as a whisper. A little nudge from your body saying, “Hey, something’s not right.” Maybe it’s worry, oversensitivity, or that constant feeling of being on edge. But when we’re busy, distracted, or numbing ourselves, we often ignore those whispers. And what happens when we keep ignoring them? One day they turn into a full-blown megaphone we can’t escape.

In this episode, we share our personal stories of when those whispers got too loud to ignore, ranging from panic attacks to organs starting to shut down after years of running on overdrive.

We explore how the body is always speaking to us, why it matters to listen before it screams, and how tuning in early can prevent whispers from becoming a scary megaphone.

We’ve reached the last stops on our Anxiety Compass tour and they’re two of the most powerful.

In this episode, we explore:

• Southeast → The nervous system route: fight, flight, freeze, or being stuck in “on” mode
• Southwest → The spiritual route: disconnection, emptiness, soul hunger, and the search for meaning

These final points help us see how deeply anxiety can affect both our bodies and our sense of purpose. By understanding them, we can start piecing together how the entire compass works to guide us back toward our True North.

In this episode we continue to introduce the Anxiety Compass points, looking at the in between points.

The compass doesn’t just have four points... it has in-betweens too. And sometimes, that’s where the sneaky stuff hides.

In this episode, we shine a light on:

• Northeast → Hormonal roots like puberty, PMS, and the rollercoaster of cycles
• Northwest → Environmental roots like screens, clutter, noise, toxins, and even the company you keep

These in-between points show how our surroundings and our bodies’ internal rhythms can quietly influence anxiety. Understanding them helps us make small shifts that point us back to balance.

Now you know what "The Anxiety Compass" is, let’s start walking with it.

In this episode, we unpack what it means to find your true north... that steady place we return to when our health and anxiety tries to throw us off course. Then we explore a few of the compass points and how they show up in real life:

• East → Chemical and nutritional roots
• West → Emotional roots and the stories we carry
• South → Physical roots like fatigue, tension, and depletion

This is where the compass becomes more than an idea... it’s a practical tool to help you understand the different layers of anxiety and start finding your way back to your True North.

It’s official...we’ve launched! 🚀

In this very first episode, we’re sharing what this journey is all about.

You’ll get to know Sammy and Natalie... two women who’ve been through the storms of anxiety (from panic attacks to overthinking spirals) and found surprising gifts along the way. We chat about how anxiety has shaped our lives, what brought us here, and why we believe a podcast is the perfect space to share, laugh, and learn together.

This isn’t your average anxiety chat. We’re mixing personal stories, humour, and practical insights to help you see anxiety not as the enemy, but as a quirky guide pointing you back to your true north.

Plus, we’ll give you a sneak peek into the compass points we’ll be exploring in upcoming episodes and why they might just change the way you see yourself.
