In this episode, I welcome back a long-time favourite guest, Lara Briden, making her third appearance on the podcast. Known for her work as a leading hormone expert and women’s health advocate, Lara brings something new to the table this time - a refreshing and much-needed reality check for those of us caught in the spiral of wellness overwhelm. We go beyond the usual hormone chat to explore the growing trend of turning every bodily symptom into a crisis - and how this culture of fear and perfectionism affects women, especially those with high-functioning anxiety. If you’ve ever felt pressure to reach some mythical state of “perfect health” or found yourself obsessively monitoring your symptoms, this episode is a gentle reminder that your body might actually be okay - even if it's doing something weird. Together, Lara and I explore: ✅ A leading hormone expert's powerful reminder that you might actually be okay ✅ Why there’s so much unnecessary fear around hormone health ✅ How high-functioning anxiety can drive obsessive health monitoring ✅ The dangers of wellness overwhelm - and how to come back to a more intuitive, less fear-based approach It’s honest, practical, and freeing.

In this solo episode, Georgie shares a powerful story that stopped her in her tracks - Miley Cyrus’s journey through hypnotherapy to overcome stage fright and anxiety at the subconscious level. When Miley had a session, she didn’t land in childhood… she went back to the womb of her grandmother, discovering the generational imprint of her mother’s deep longing to be loved. This moment of inherited fear shifted everything - and it’s a story that mirrors the kind of profound healing Georgie witnesses in her own RTT® hypnotherapy sessions in Anxiety Masters. From womb memories to birth imprints and even past life regressions, this episode explores the breathtaking depth of the subconscious mind and how it holds the key to lasting emotional freedom. If you’ve tried to “talk through” your anxiety but still feel stuck - this episode will open your heart and mind to what’s possible beneath the surface.   Need more anxiety support?   Try Anxiety Masters today FREE for 7 days - https://anxiety-reset.mykajabi.com/offers/hLCNeydj   Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie unpacks the surprising link between histamine and anxiety - an often-overlooked driver of mental health symptoms. She shares personal and clinical insights, including the symptoms to watch for (like headaches, racing heart, gut issues, and sudden mood shifts), what causes histamine overload, and how it can mimic or amplify anxiety. If you’ve tried everything to calm your nervous system but still feel on edge, this might be the missing piece. Georgie also shares practical tips for managing histamine sensitivity and how to explore this further through the Anxiety Masters Membership or a private session.

In this episode, Georgie unpacks a powerful truth about anxiety that no one’s talking about: You’re not anxious because something is wrong with you - you’re anxious because there’s something you deeply want… but you don’t believe you can have it. She explores how this hidden root of high-functioning anxiety is often linked to childhood conditioning, unhealed emotional patterns, and the inner conflict between desire and deprivation. You’ll learn how to shift out of the powerless state of the “Anxiety Battler” and into the calm, grounded energy of the “Anxiety Master.”   Explore The Anxiety Masters 5-Day Byron Bay Retreat (3 spots left) - https://georgiecollinson.com/byronbayretreat   Need more anxiety support?

We also unpack his controversial take on ashwagandha, the “golden child” of herbal medicine — including why it might not be as harmless as you think.

In this episode, Georgie explores the deep, often tangled topic of self-worth - why we attach it to things like body image, male attention, success, or relationships, and how to finally begin unhooking from it. She shares her own personal experience of tying self-worth to external milestones like book launches and TV appearances - and the emotional crash that can follow once the moment passes. If you've ever felt your worth rise and fall based on how you're perceived or what you've achieved, this is for you. You’ll learn Georgie’s 3-step approach to accessing your inherent, untouchable self-worth - including the mindset shifts and subconscious work needed to move from fragile confidence to a grounded sense of inner value.

In this heart-opening episode, I’m joined by Laura Behnke, and I’ll be honest — her story moved me to tears. Laura’s journey is one of resilience, vulnerability, and quiet strength. Listening to her share so openly was its own kind of healing, and I know it will touch you too. A gentle note: We do discuss Laura’s experience with an unexpected cancer diagnosis. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please use your own intuition and discernment about whether now is the right time to listen. Sometimes hearing stories like Laura’s can bring incredible awareness and a deeper sense of hope. In this beautiful conversation, we explore: ✅ Laura’s journey from TV sports anchor to sharing her real story ✅ Navigating a cancer diagnosis while caring for her 7-month-old daughter ✅ How vulnerability carried her through life’s biggest curve balls ✅ Redefining success, womanhood, and resilience after profound life shifts Laura doesn’t come with advice or steps to follow — she simply shares her truth.
