EP 330: How To Keep Calm In A Crazy World with Dr Soph

In this heartfelt episode, I speak with the delightful Alex Croxford, who helps women release guilt and shame so they can open themselves up to the deep love they crave at a soul level. Alex shares her powerful story of being the one who cheated - a perspective that carries so much stigma and silence, yet also offers profound lessons in healing, forgiveness, and growth. Whether you’ve been the one who cheated, the one who was cheated on, or you simply know the heavy weight of guilt and shame in your own life, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Shame and guilt are feelings every human carries at some level, and when we leave them hidden or unacknowledged, they often fester and transform into anxiety. This episode invites you to explore those deeper layers safely and compassionately - because looking at them is the key to true healing. We cover: ✅ Why so many women carry guilt and shame ✅ How self-abandonment shows up in relationships (and what it really means when we betray ourselves) ✅ The surprising connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety in love ✅ How to release the weight of guilt and feeling like a bad person This episode is a safe space, free from judgement, and full of laughter, depth, and healing. My hope is that it creates ripples of release and resonance for everyone who listens.

In this episode, Georgie explores the common belief that changing your outer environment -whether it’s leaving a relationship, moving cities, quitting your job, going travelling or chasing more sunshine - will finally fix anxiety. While these shifts can sometimes bring temporary relief, anxiety often has a way of following you wherever you go. Georgie shares why lasting freedom comes from doing the inner work - rewiring the subconscious, regulating the nervous system, and shifting deep beliefs - so you can feel calm and grounded no matter what’s happening around you.

In this episode, Georgie unpacks the surprising root cause behind those mysterious health symptoms - blurred vision, dizziness, light-headedness, fatigue, fainting, skin rashes, gut issues, UTIs, and headaches - that seem to have no clear explanation. What if these aren’t random at all? What if they’re messages from a dysregulated nervous system, suppressed emotions, and deep subconscious patterns? Georgie shares why unresolved stress and unprocessed feelings often show up in the body as physical symptoms - and how you can begin working with your nervous system and subconscious to release them for good.
