Chloe:
Hello, and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is the place to be to become
your calmest, happiest, and most confident self. And this is your host, Chloe
Brotheridge. I am a coach and a hypnotherapist. I'm the author of The Anxiety
Solution and Brave New Girl. Today, I'm so lucky to get to speak the Marianne
Power, who is the author of the brilliant book, Help Me, which is her
experience of reading a different self-help book every day for a year, and
putting things into practice, and seeing what the results were for her. And
this book is firstly, very, very funny, and secondly, very helpful, comforting,
inspiring, reassuring. There are practical assets in there as well. I really
think you're gonna love it. And so myself and Marianne talked about facing your
fears, and Marianne really has faced a lot of fears and she shares some of the
incredible things that she's done through the course of writing this book, and
I think it's quite amazing. I'm very, very in awe of her.



We
talked about the things that Marianne has found the most, and also the least
helpful from all the things that she's tried on her self-help journey. We also
get into how to handle her fear of public speaking. So, many of us struggle
with this, and Marianne shares really beautifully about her experience of that
and what she's doing is overcome it. And she just gives some really reassuring,
lovely, comforting words of advice to people who are struggling with anxiety
and depression. And this podcast, I hope is going to feel like a big hug and a
reassuring message that you are actually okay. And you're not as bad as you
think you are basically. In fact, you're wonderful. So, I really hope you’re
going to enjoy this episode. If you're looking to become a more confident
version of yourself in 2020, then I want to invite you to come on over to see
