In a fast moving, disruptive world, where the unexpected can often feel intimidating, threatening and overwhelming, anxiety is one of the greatest societal challenges we are facing. Research suggests as many as three million Australians are living with anxiety at any one time. From children, through to adolescents and adults, anxiety is a fundamental human experience and hard-wired into us. But mastering your mindset can help shift how you deal with anxiety.

In this episode, clinical psychologist and founder of The Anxiety Clinic Dr Jodie Lowinger talks about the neuroscience behind anxiety, how to reframe it from a perceived weakness into a strength, and outlines high-performance habits to help you overcome it.
