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 Pressure to Become a New Person Overnight
Every year, as the clock strikes midnight, we’re hit with the same message: “New year, new you!”
And honestly… that pressure can send even the calmest nervous system into a spiral.
In this episode, Natalie and Sammy unpack why the start of a new year can feel overwhelming, emotional and strangely anxiety-fuelled... especially when it feels like everyone else is suddenly reinventing themselves.
This one is grounding, honest and full of relief, a reminder that you don’t need to become a brand-new person on January 1st. You just need to take one aligned, compassionate step in the direction your body is already pointing you.
Tune in and discover why the smallest shift often creates the biggest change.
