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.

Stresspresso: The Buzz You Didn’t Order (But Keep Getting Served)
Ever feel like you’re running on pure adrenaline, as if your nervous system is sipping on a triple shot of espresso all day long?
In this episode, we dive into the world of “Stresspresso”... that wired-but-tired state where stress keeps you buzzing but also slowly burns you out. We'll unpack what’s really happening in your body when you live in this mode, why it leaves you jittery, anxious, and exhausted, and how to step off the stress-fuelled hamster wheel.
You’ll learn:
- The surprising connection between stress, digestion, and energy crashes
- How “Stresspresso” tricks your body into thinking it’s productive when it’s really depleted
- Simple, practical tools to calm the buzz and refill your cup in healthier ways
This one’s for anyone who feels like their body is always on overdrive...it’s time to trade Stresspresso for something a little more nourishing.
🎧 Tune in and take a breath...your nervous system will thank you.
