The Gift of Anxiety: Why You’re Still Stuck and How to Move Forward with Diante Fuchs

In this deeply insightful episode of Well, Hello Anxiety, Dr Jodi Richardson welcomes Dr Ashleigh Moreland, founder of the Remind Institute, to unpack the nervous system, fawning, functional freeze, and the hidden barriers families face when seeking mental‑health support. Drawing from her PhD in neuroplasticity and her own 20‑year journey with anxiety, Dr Ashleigh reveals why she created her groundbreaking - and completely free - online Home Bases, designed for parents, practitioners, teachers, and schools who need clear, compassionate, research‑grounded guidance.

They explore:
• The difference between fight, flight, freeze and the relational survival response of fawning
• Why so many parents say “yes” after saying “no” six times
• How childhood emotional experiences shape adult nervous‑system safety
• Why understanding behaviour through a trauma‑informed lens changes everything
• The cost, access and overwhelm families face in the current mental‑health system
• How Dr Ashleigh’s Home Bases offer scripts, explanations, tools and neuroscience‑based strategies anyone can use

Explore the free Home Bases here:
• Anxiety Home Base: re-mind.ang.institute/anxiety
• ADHD Home Base: re-mind.ang.institute/adhd
• Perfectionism Home Base: re-mind.ang.institute/perfectionism

Dr Ashleigh Moreland on Fawning, Nervous System Safety & Her Free Mental‑Health Home Bases

In this deeply human and compelling conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with Connor Scott, the runner, fundraiser and counsellor whose extraordinary challenge - running 50 kilometres a day for 50 days - captured the attention of his community and raised vital awareness for youth mental health. This episode explores the real story behind the feat: the motivation, the cost, the injury he pushed through, and the moment he realised he had lost himself in the challenge he hoped would complete him.

Connor shares how the aftermath left him physically and emotionally depleted, and how that difficult period sparked two powerful initiatives: Mind Over Miles, a movement‑based community run club centred on connection and mental wellbeing, and The Running Therapist, his unique counselling service blending movement, nature and side‑by‑side conversation to help people open up in a more comfortable, human way.

Together, Jodi and Connor unpack the pressures of public commitment, the vulnerability of asking for help, the healing power of community, and the importance of showing up as your true self - whether you’re running a marathon or navigating life’s tougher seasons.

A generous, honest and inspiring episode for anyone who’s ever pushed themselves too far, rebuilt from burnout, or discovered that the real finish line is connection.
