Why does anxiety still show up—even when life looks good on paper? In this deeply human conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson welcomes psychologist, author, and hypnotherapist Dr Amanda Ferguson to explore the profound link between anxiety and the existential dilemmas we all face.

In Part 1, they unpack the five universal challenges—freedom vs. responsibility, meaning, isolation, mortality, and the weight of choice—and how these shape our internal worlds, often without us realising. Dr Ferguson shares real-world insights from her 30+ years in practice, plus empowering ways to approach life’s toughest questions with honesty, courage, and self-compassion.

Whether you're feeling stuck, facing a crossroads, or simply navigating the tension of being human, this episode offers fresh language and clarity for the anxiety that comes with just being alive.
