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.

Navigating Anxiety: Why Your True North Isn't On "Google Maps"
What if the direction you’ve been searching for isn’t out there at all but already within you?
In this episode, we unpack the idea of true north and why it’s not something you’ll ever find on Google Maps (or from gurus, apps, or the next wellness trend). Instead, it’s about tuning into your body’s compass (the subtle signals, sensations, and yes, even anxiety) that can reroute you back to yourself.
We’ll explore:
- Why anxiety isn’t a broken GPS but a guide pointing you toward alignment
- How to stop outsourcing your sense of direction to the outside world
- The small but powerful practices that bring you back to your own inner compass
This one’s equal parts funny, practical, and thought-provoking, perfect if you’ve ever felt lost while holding a phone that knows exactly where you are.
🎧 Hit play and let’s find your true north together.
