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.
The Anxiety Compass Podcast
Am I Going Crazy… or Just Anxious?
In this episode, we crack open one of the messiest and most human parts of living with anxiety... that feeling of going a little bit cuckoo. From the spiral of overthinking to the weird physical sensations that make you question your sanity, we share the raw reality behind the word “crazy.”
You’ll hear:
- Why anxiety can make even the most grounded people feel unhinged
- How we learnt to spot the difference between “cuckoo brain” and actual danger
- The tools we use now to laugh at it, lean into it, and come out the other side stronger
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re 'losing' it, this one’s for you because you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not cuckoo.
🎧 Tune in, laugh along, and maybe even find your own calm in the chaos.
