Anna Ferguson, known to her 340k+ Instagram followers as @annatheanxietycoach, is a leading Australian anxiety therapist, somatic coach, and bestselling author. Her first book, The Vagus Nerve Reset, changed the way thousands of people understand their nervous system. Her brand-new book, 21 Days to a Less Anxious You, takes that work even further with a practical, science-backed 21-day toolkit to calm your body and mind.

But what makes this conversation so special isn't just what Anna knows. It's what she's lived.

In this episode, Anna opens up about a rollercoaster accident she experienced as a child and the lasting impact it had on her nervous system and her relationship with fear. She also shares one of the most courageous stories I've heard on this podcast: navigating life alongside her partner's brain cancer diagnosis, and how she used her own tools to stay grounded when everything fell apart.

This one is raw, real, and packed with practical takeaways for anyone who has ever felt like anxiety is running the show.

In this episode we cover:

• Anna's personal experience of childhood trauma and how it shaped her path into anxiety work
• What the vagus nerve actually is and why it matters for how you feel every day
• How your nervous system is wired to protect you (not betray you)
• The somatic tools Anna used to stay regulated while supporting her partner through brain cancer
• What to do when your anxiety toolkit gets tested by real-life crisis
• The key ideas behind 21 Days to a Less Anxious You and how to start building resilience today
• Simple, science-backed practices you can use right now to calm your nervous system

Whether you're someone who struggles with anxiety daily or you're supporting someone you love through a hard season, this episode will leave you feeling less alone and more equipped.

In this episode, I chat with Tahlia Kennedy, Social Media and Marketing lead at Kinso App.

Tahlia shares what it's really like to grow a startup brand from the inside, and we get into the honest behind the scenes of building something on social media when there's no big budget, no rulebook, and a lot riding on getting it right.

We also explore the balance between building your personal brand and the brand you work for, and what this new generation of marketers is doing differently.

In this episode we cover:

• Growing a startup on social media from the ground up
• What the behind the scenes of startup marketing actually looks like
• Personal brand vs brand marketing and how to manage both
• What most startups get wrong when they first hit social
• Building a real community, not just a following
• Advice for anyone wanting to break into startup marketing

A fresh and honest conversation with someone redefining what modern marketing looks like.
