Facing fear and living with OCD with Renee Zukin, Author of 'Every Day I'm Brave'

On today's podcast I chatted with the author of the book 'Every Day I'm Brave', Renee Zukin.

Renee talks about her life and career and in particular about the struggles of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder otherwise known as OCD.

For some reason she was always fearful in her life, and when this mum of three was unravelling with malnutrition because of the irrational fear of what might be in her food, she realised that she had to seek much needed help.

Eventually she was diagnosed of having OCD, and it was only with a deep understanding of this condition did she learn how to recognise and control it and begin to change her life for the better.

This avid writer put pen to paper and wrote the book 'Every Day I'm Brave' to help others who suffer from similar conditions or who are gripped by fear, preventing them from living the full lives they deserve.

Renee says the book is part memoir and in part a practical self help book, and in our conversation she talks about the debilitating effect of "fear" and how you can start to face it, one step at a time.
