Welcome back to The Anxiety Chicks Podcast! Today, we are honored to sit down with a true powerhouse in the world of neuroscience and mental health: Dr. Caroline Leaf. She’s a communication pathologist, clinical neuroscientist, and the bestselling author of Help in a Hurry—a practical, empowering guide for when life feels chaotic, overwhelming, and just plain too much.

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of the mind vs. brain, how to break free from anxiety spirals, and what it really means to rewire toxic thought patterns. Dr. Leaf also walks us through simple, science-backed strategies that can help you regulate your emotions, rewrite worst-case-scenario thinking, and even find healing through forgiveness.
