In this episode, we’re joined by Samuel Eddie, an expert in anxiety recovery. After burning out as a corporate executive in London, Samuel faced severe anxiety and panic, which led him on a journey of healing and self-discovery. He now helps others do the same, drawing on his experience and the work of Dr. Claire Weekes.

Samuel explains how a sensitized nervous system and cumulative stress fuel anxiety, why traditional coping methods often fall short, and shares practical strategies for unlearning anxiety habits.

Whether you struggle with OCD, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts, this conversation offers powerful tools for recovery.
