Anxiety is something many of us live with every day. Whether it’s work, health, family or even the state of the world, there’s a constant overload of worries that can be exhausting! In today’s Fearless STEM Careers with me Hayley Loren, I share five simple methods to managing anxiety, to help you feel happier, energised and more in control. Anxiety is something that I personally experience daily and over the years I’ve learnt ways to manage it. Being honest there isn’t one simple solution, but I find having a toolbox of methods you can utilise depending on how you feel can be a huge help. On one day you may find a short walk is enough to relieve your anxiety, but on other days it may feel like nothing’s working. The five methods I share in this episode are my personal safety blanket and anchor that always help me gain relief and "feel myself" again. I share them with an open heart in the hope they can help you too.

If there’s one thing the Queen has taught me it’s to be unwavering in your purpose. It’s to show up, to do the hard work and not give up. You may not know your purpose and to be honest many of us never have just one, but the point is you have the freedom to explore and to create. Today on Fearless STEM Careers I wanted to do a special brief episode to reflect on the Queen’s incredible career and the inspiration we can take from her.   Fearless STEM Careers will be back properly on 4th October.
