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
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.
