The Anxiety Compass Podcast
Welcome to The Anxiety Compass Podcast, where we help you navigate the messy, magical, and maddening world of anxiety. We believe anxiety isn’t a defect but a teacher — a compass pointing you back to your True North.
Hosted by Clinical Nutritionists Sammy Barnett (author of Anxiety: The Best Teacher You Never Asked For) and Natalie Antoine, this show goes beyond quick fixes to explore the real roots of anxiety. Each week we explore a different point of the compass:
🌿 Chemical & Nutritional
💬 Emotional
⚡ Nervous System
🌀 Hormonal
🌍 Environmental
💪 Physical
✨ Spiritual
Through personal stories, humour, and practical tools, we show how anxiety is not a problem to “fix” but an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with yourself. If you’re ready to see anxiety in a new light, learn real-life strategies, and feel less alone in the messy middle, this podcast is for you.

Hormones, Noise & Navigating the In-Between
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
