As someone with anxiety, the prospect of attending 'business' events (cue big crowds, new people and foreign venues) has never been an easy thing for me. And whilst 4 years ago I couldn't even get on a train without ending up in a total state, I now find myself turning up to events with a sense of confidence, despite that daunted feeling not going away.

But don't be fooled, it's not been an overnight thing. In this episode I share 5 encouragements / tips for anyone who also feels a little nervous about IRL connection, hopefully passing on a little of what's helped me overcome and live alongside my anxiety.
