My earliest memories are anxious ones.
Clinging to my mum’s legs as a child. Hiding under a laundry basket when people popped in. Waking up at 5 AM, putting on my school uniform, and sitting there for three hours—because I was terrified of being late.
For most of my life, anxiety was my default state.
And then last year, driving from Milan to Umbria, Matteo and I were listening to a podcast about anxiety when he paused it and asked—How is your anxiety?
To my surprise, I said, Good. I hadn’t felt anxious in ages.
We both sat in silence, a little stunned.
Where did my anxiety go?
I’ve been sitting with that question for months. And recently, as I felt anxiety creeping back in, I realised—there’s one thing that helps me most.
This week, Matteo and I talk about:
- The unexpected weight of moving home
- My life with anxiety
- The turning point that forced me to make a change
- And the ritual that’s helping me feel more at ease (and could help you, too)
