NORMALISING ANXIETY with Karen Young

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“I want to talk about normalising anxiety. It’s the body’s natural response - it doesn’t mean you are broken and we all have bouts of anxiety throughout our lives.”_______Today, I sit down with the founder of ‘Hey Sigmund’, Karen Young who has worked as a psychologist for many years. Karen is an internationally sought-after speaker, educator, and consultant, working with government bodies, media outlets, and a diverse range of private organisations. Karen is the author of four internationally-acclaimed books, including the bestselling ‘Hey Warrior’ and ‘Hey Awesome’, which creatively assist children to understand and manage anxiety. The books have been translated into a number of languages and have sold more than 180,000 copies worldwide.Karen created Hey Sigmund, an internationally popular online resource, as a way to provide contemporary, research-driven information on the art of being human, and being with humans. The website has a particular emphasis on strengthening the mental wellness of children and adolescents. It attracts millions of readers each year worldwide. The work Karen does is inspiring & I’ve been looking forward to sitting down with her for a deep dive….For more information about Karen, check out these places;-https://www.heysigmund.com/https://www.instagram.com/karenyoung_heysigmund/https://www.linkedin.com/in/heysigmund/Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you’d love people to talk more about, or know someone who’d be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com
