Welcome to The Life of YOU!

The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments.

This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Tuppence Middleton—actress and author of Scorpions, her powerful memoir about living with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Together, we answer your questions about OCD, intrusive thoughts, and how to navigate relationships while living with anxiety.

Today:

💬 Katie worries that her OCD is exhausting for her supportive partner—how can she balance honesty with not feeling like a burden?

💭 Rachel struggles with intrusive thoughts—how can she stop them from taking over?

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your thoughts, remember: You are not your thoughts—you are just the person who hears them.
