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
Feeling "weird" between Christmas and New Year? There's a reason!
Ever feel a bit… strange between Christmas and New Year?
That foggy, floaty, unmotivated, slightly “off” feeling is more common than you think (and no, there’s nothing wrong with you!)
In this episode, Nat and Sammy dive into what actually happens to your body and brain in the “in-between days” of the year. You’ll hear:
• why your nervous system feels ungrounded after Christmas
• how sugar, sleep changes, alcohol and leftovers mess with your mood
• the emotional crash that follows big social events
• why doing “nothing” feels both good and uncomfortable
• simple ways to reset your body so you feel more settled
This one is honest, comforting, and full of those “ohhh that explains everything” moments...perfect if you’ve been wandering around your house not knowing what day it is.
Tune in and find out why feeling weird right now is actually completely normal… and what your body might be trying to tell you.
