Welcome to The Life of Bryony Where we explore life’s messy, beautiful, and challenging moments.
MY GUEST THIS WEEK: DR ALEXANDRA SHAKER
This week, I’m joined by Dr Alexandra Shaker—psychologist, researcher, and author of The Narrowing. Alexandra’s work rethinks our understanding of anxiety, not as a weakness, but as a strength—something we can learn from rather than fight against. We discuss how anxiety manifests in the body, why quick fixes don’t work, and how we can reframe our relationship with mental health.
