Welcome to The Anxiety Reset® Podcast - the place where high-achieving women break free from high-functioning anxiety and reclaim their calm, confidence, and inner power. I'm Georgie Collinson, Australia's leading Anxiety Therapist, Bestselling Author, and Creator of The Anxiety Reset Method® - a revolutionary approach to overcoming anxiety that goes way beyond mindset. Here, we blend subconscious reprogramming, nervous system healing, naturopathy, gut health, and emotional mastery to transform the way you relate to anxiety - so it no longer controls you. Each week, we dive into the latest science behind the holistic causes of anxiety and explore the mindset shifts and subconscious tools that truly rewire anxiety at the root, with regular guest interviews that will nurture and inspire you. This is more than a podcast - it's a movement. A new paradigm for women who are done just managing anxiety and are ready to master it. Let's get into the show!
In this episode, Georgie shares 21 things she's noticed after a decade of anxiety work with high-achieving women - the patterns, the myths, and the truths that don't usually get said out loud. From why a diagnosis often never comes, to why successful people are so often anxious, to why "calming down" can actually backfire - this episode is a wide-lens look at what anxiety really is, and isn't. You'll hear why suppression drives more anxiety than stress does, why the goal was never to eliminate anxiety but to understand its message, and why softness - not self-criticism - is what actually works. If you're ready to go deeper, The Anxiety Reset Method and Master Your Relationship Anxiety are both available now. I've got you. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Olga Newman, whose unique approach to facial massage, fascia release, and breathwork completely changed my perspective on what's possible when it comes to ageing naturally. I was lucky enough to have one of her treatments before we recorded this conversation, and I honestly felt all the tension in my jaw and neck melt away. Together, we explore how years of anxiety and chronic stress can leave their mark on our faces, why shallow breathing and tension patterns matter more than we realise, and the powerful ways breathwork, fascia release, and self-massage can help us look and feel our best—without relying on Botox. If you've ever wondered how stress is showing up in your face, this episode is full of fascinating insights and practical tools. We talk about: What years of anxiety and stress look like on your face Why shallow breathing and pelvic tension so often show up together The way chronic tension (or release) can change how we age How self-massage, fascia release, and breathwork can work better than Botox Where to find Olga: Instagram: @olga_faceup 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie shares two pieces of news she's been so excited to tell you about. First, the story of how she got engaged, all of it, start to finish. And then something she never expected to be talking about here: after two years of quietly pushing through fatigue, headaches and brain fog... the kind of background noise you learn to ignore. She's finally found the root cause! She's already feeling clearer, calmer and less inflamed, and she's sharing everything: the symptoms she'd learned to push past, how she got to the bottom of it, and what's changed since - in case it helps you find your own answers too. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined once again by the wonderful Nat Kringoudis — Chinese medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, and host of The Wellness Collective podcast. Together, we separate wellness fact from fiction and have a whole lot of fun unpacking the trends that seem to take over our feeds every few months. From peptides and protein to fasting and forgotten favourites like bone broth and turmeric, we explore which wellness hacks are genuinely worth your time and which ones might be creating more confusion than benefit. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters. We talk about: The biohacks worth your time versus the ones that are all hype Should we all be trying peptides? Why so much fasting and protein advice doesn't fit women's bodies Revisiting past wellness trends (bone broth, colonics, turmeric and more) Where to find Nat: Website: https://www.natkringoudis.com/ Instagram: @natkringoudis Podcast: The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie makes the case for something most of us have been taught to fight: the part of you that second-guesses, hesitates, and quietly wonders if you've got it wrong. We tend to treat self-doubt as the enemy - the thing standing between us and the unshakeable confidence we're told we should have. But what if that doubting voice is also where your empathy lives? What if the ability to check yourself, to wonder how you're landing on others, to consider that you might not be the most important person in the room, is part of what makes you trustworthy and kind? Georgie explores why relentlessly brainwashing yourself into total certainty isn't actually the goal... and why it can tip us toward self-importance and a loss of perspective. This isn't about letting self-doubt run the show. It's about helping it fire at the right moments, in the right measure, rather than trying to erase it altogether. Because a little doubt, in the right hands, makes us better humans. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by our wonderful breathwork facilitator, Casey May Aubin . Casey has been guiding the breathwork sessions inside the Calm Woman Collective for well over a year now, and I'm so excited to finally have her on the podcast to share more of her story, wisdom, and approach to healing. Casey opens up about a pivotal moment in her life when everything she thought was certain suddenly changed. What followed was an unexpected journey of curiosity, self-discovery, and ultimately finding the work she was meant to do. We also dive into a unique style of breathwork called Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery (RBM) and how it differs from the more intense breathwork practices many people are familiar with. If you've ever felt called to explore breathwork, or found traditional breathwork styles too overwhelming for your nervous system, this conversation offers a refreshing and empowering perspective. We talk about: How following curiosity, not a plan, can lead you somewhere extraordinary The moment of betrayal that became an unexpected doorway to solo adventure Why intense breathwork can crack you open but not always create lasting change How RBM gives the power of healing back to the participant, not the practitioner Where to find Casey: Instagram: @regulateyourstate Website: https://www.regulateyourstate.com.au/ 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie explores why you can be a capable, composed woman one moment - and feel like a small, frightened child the next. You know your boss probably isn't angry. You know, logically, that you've done nothing wrong. And yet your whole system floods with that old, sinking sense of being in trouble. Georgie unpacks what's actually happening: in those moments, your subconscious mind time travels you back to a younger version of yourself - one who once learned to believe something painful about who she is. It isn't a flaw in your character or a lack of willpower. It's an old emotional memory being switched back on by a present-day cue, and your nervous system responding as though the past is happening now. You'll learn how to recognise when you've slipped into that younger self and why reassurance from your thinking mind alone rarely lands. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Golsa Gholampour - medical doctor, author, and passionate advocate for helping women understand the connection between the brain, body, and emotional wellbeing. Golsa's journey has taken her from growing up in Iran, to building a new life abroad, to experiencing burnout that ultimately led her back to her deeper purpose. Through her work, she explores the neuroscience behind empathy, forgiveness, self-compassion, and resilience, helping us understand why letting go isn't just a spiritual concept - it's something that can profoundly impact our brains, nervous systems, and overall wellbeing. This conversation is a beautiful blend of neuroscience, psychology, and wisdom. We explore what happens in the brain when we practise forgiveness, why empathy can be such a powerful tool for healing, and how learning to live with uncertainty can transform the way we experience anxiety. If you've ever struggled to let go of hurt, found yourself asking "why me?", or wondered how to find peace when life doesn't go to plan, this episode is for you. We talk about: How burnout and hitting a wall can lead you back to your deeper purpose The life-changing question: if time and money were no object, what would you do? What happens in the brain when we practise forgiveness and empathy Growing up in Iran vs Australia — and why forgiveness is so needed Where to find Dr. Golsa Gholampour: Instagram: @drgolsahealth YouTube: DrGolsa
In this episode, Georgie tells the story of the weekend her intuition told her not to go, and what happened when she went anyway. By the next Monday she was sick, and instead of pushing through, she sat with a harder question: what if her body wasn't failing her, but finally getting her attention? This is an honest look at why rest feels like losing for high-achieving women, how to calm the mind that keeps running even when the body has stopped, and how to reorganise a week around recovery without the guilt spiral. Georgie also shares the herbal teas she reaches for, the foods she leans into, and the small mindset shifts that help her immune system do its most important work. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie shares what happened after the cameras stopped rolling on her conversation with Sarah Wilson - because that interview didn't leave her peaceful. For days, she sat with feelings of unease, quietly processing what it all meant. This episode is her honest reflection: what shook her, what she had to work through, and where she eventually landed. Georgie unpacks the reframe that brought her the most peace - that what looks like collapse is really a reorganisation, a simplification that unfolds over time. That life as we know it isn't disappearing overnight. That within the change, there are threads of something genuinely good: a return to community, to reliance on each other, to a world where kindness becomes its own currency. If the Sarah Wilson episode (or the topic of Systems Collapse) stirred something in you too, this is the moment to take a long breath out. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Sarah Wilson - bestselling author of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful , This One Wild and Precious Life , and now her newest book, I Eat the Stars . This conversation explores something many of us feel quietly underneath the surface: the sense that the world is changing in big, uncertain ways. But rather than spiralling into fear, Sarah offers a surprisingly grounding and even joyful perspective on what happens when we stop resisting reality and start honestly acknowledging what's unfolding around us. We talk about complexity, systems collapse, community, and the unexpected relief that can come from naming what we've been sensing all along. This episode left me thinking for days afterward and strangely, feeling more calm, clear, and connected to what really matters. We talk about: People have been crying "collapse is coming" forever - is this different? Why unplugging from the system and going "off-grid" isn't the answer Could a systems collapse actually be the simplification we've all been asking for? How Sarah has found unexpected joy in these times Where to find Sarah: Website: https://sarahwilson.com/ Instagram: @ sarahwilson Book: I Eat the Stars - preorder wherever books are sold Release Dates: Australia & NZ - 26 May 2026 | Global - 16 June 2026 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie guides you into the experience of being enough - exactly as you are, right now, without needing to prove, achieve, or be anywhere other than here. This one is for the woman who finds stillness uncomfortable. Who fills every gap, feels the pull to be productive even in rest, and notices a quiet restlessness when she isn't moving toward something. Who is extraordinary at doing - and finds simply being strangely hard to access. This isn't about forcing presence or perfecting stillness. It's a warm, grounded invitation to set down the need to strive - just for now - and let yourself arrive in the moment you're actually in. Find somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and let Georgie guide you home to yourself. You are already enough. Not when the list is finished. Not when you've figured it out. Right now, as you are. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the fantastic Jennifer Breheny Wallace - award-winning journalist, researcher, and author of Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose . We explore what it truly means to matter and how so many of us have been taught to seek validation instead of creating real connection. Jennifer shares powerful insights into why loneliness is rising, how hyper-independence is quietly disconnecting us, and what we can do to rebuild a sense of belonging and purpose in our lives. If you've been craving deeper connection, more meaning, or a stronger sense of your place in the world, this conversation will feel grounding, reassuring, and incredibly relevant. We talk about: The difference between seeking validation and genuinely adding value to others Why hyper-independence is leaving us lonely and what we actually need How to apply "mattering" to add connection and purpose to your life Where your real power lies when the world around you keeps changing Where to find Jennifer: Website: https://www.jenniferbwallace.com/ Instagram: @jenniferbrehenywallace Book: Mattering : https://amzn.to/3JAjpXV
In this episode, Georgie guides you through the feeling of overwhelm - the mental load, the endless list, the sense that everyone wants something from you and there's still so much left undone. This isn't about productivity strategies or doing more. It's a guided experience designed for the woman who is already doing everything - and simply needs somewhere safe to land, exhale, and find her centre again. Find somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and let Georgie guide you back to yourself. You don't have to go through all of this alone. And for the next few minutes, you don't have to carry it at all. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Alex Nashton - a self-proclaimed neuroscience nerd, mindfulness practitioner, and coach who works deeply with both individuals and couples. She's also the host of the Mind Over Grey Matter podcast, where I had the pleasure of being a guest a couple of years ago. In this conversation, we dive into the science behind anxiety - not in an overwhelming way, but in a way that actually helps you understand what's happening in your brain and, more importantly, how change is truly possible. We explore neuroplasticity, the patterns that keep you stuck, and how to gently rewire your mind without falling into self-judgement. If you've ever felt frustrated that you "know better" but still feel stuck in anxious patterns, this episode will give you both clarity and hope. We talk about: What neuroplasticity means and how to maximise your brain's capacity for change at any age The neuroscience of anxiety: what's actually happening in the brain and why understanding it changes everything The mechanics of how old neural pathways dissolve and new ones take hold The self-judgement trap: why high-functioning women get caught in it and how to break the cycle Where to find Alex: Podcast: Mind Over Grey Matter Instagram: @alex_nashton 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie invites you to set everything down - your to-do list, your responsibilities, the version of you that's been showing up and delivering all day - and simply let yourself be held. This isn't a lesson. There's nothing to take notes on and nothing to action. It's a guided experience created for the woman who has been carrying a lot, moving fast, and giving generously - and who is ready, finally, to exhale. Find somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and let Georgie's voice bring you home. Drawing on her deep understanding of the nervous system and the anxious mind, this immersive guided rest returns you to a felt sense of safety and support - not through effort, but through receiving. Perfect for winding down after a full and demanding day, transitioning out of work mode, or simply giving your nervous system the rest it's quietly been asking for. You've done enough today. You are safe here. You are supported. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by eczema and skin specialist Zoe Hunt . If you've experienced the anxiety, stress, and loss of confidence that can come with chronic skin issues — or you're a parent supporting a child through it — this conversation will feel deeply validating and eye-opening. We explore the emotional toll of skin conditions, especially for parents, and the often-overlooked connection between the nervous system, stress, and the body's ability to heal. Zoe brings a compassionate, whole-body approach that goes far beyond just "fixing the skin." If you've been stuck in cycles of frustration, trying everything and still not seeing lasting change, this episode will help you see things in a completely new way. We talk about: How a skin specialist naturopath finally solved her own child's chronic eczema How watching your child suffer in their skin creates a specific kind of parental anxiety that's hard to put into words How stress and nervous system dysregulation in the parent can directly impact a child's skin and immune response Why "fixing the skin" is often the last piece — and what needs to come first Join Zoe's FREE masterclass this month: https://portal.sageandwell.co.nz/masterlcass Where to find Zoe: Website: https://www.sageandwell.co.nz Instagram: @sageandwell Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie shares something deeply personal - the internal conflict she navigated around becoming a mother, not because she didn't want children, but because something about the version of motherhood she'd witnessed didn't feel like something she could choose. She always knew she would be a mother. She knew she'd be good at it. And yet for a long time, she resisted the idea with everything she had - the loss of freedom, the structural lack of support for women once they step into that role, and the template she was given by her own mother. A woman who was truly wonderful, generous, and loving... and who seemed to disappear into motherhood entirely. Georgie unpacks what she finally discovered was underneath that resistance, because for many women, the question isn't really do I want to be a mother? It's: can I be a mother without losing myself? If that question lives in you too, this episode is going to mean something. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, I'm joined by the fabulous Hannah Gould , Melbourne University lecturer and author of How to Die in the 21st Century . Together, we explore a topic that many of us avoid, but in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and even a little bit light. We talk about what happens when we actually turn toward the idea of death instead of pushing it away, and how doing so can bring a surprising sense of calm. This conversation is an invitation to look at something often seen as heavy or uncomfortable and discover that it can actually create more peace, perspective, and presence in your life. If you've ever felt uneasy thinking about death, avoided the topic altogether, or struggled with loss and not knowing how to process it, this episode will support you in a really beautiful way. We talk about: Why talking about death can actually reduce anxiety, not increase it What "death neutral" means, and why it can feel like relief The hidden ways death avoidance shows up in high-functioning women How to talk about death and grieving when no one knows how Where to find Hannah: Website: https://www.hannahgould.com/ Instagram: @hrhgould 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie explores what so many of us are feeling right now: the relentless weight of the news cycle, the uncertainty, the noise, and the low-grade anxiety that comes from trying to make sense of a world that feels increasingly unpredictable. Rather than offering false reassurance, Georgie gets honest about why this moment feels so intense, and then walks you through four grounding practices to help you reclaim your sense of self when everything outside of you feels unstable. From setting intentional boundaries around what you consume, to returning to the certainty that already lives within you, to questioning the narratives being handed to you and choosing where you direct your attention, this episode is a reminder that while you can't control the world, you are never without agency. 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?
