In this brief spoken piece, the presenter likens anxiety to full‑fat milk: essential for survival yet undesirable in excess. She explains that anxiety is a primitive survival instinct that keeps us safe—preventing us from stepping into traffic or touching something hot.

The speaker then describes her work with clients, helping them regain mastery over anxiety and harness its power to achieve their goals, and ends with an invitation to work with her.

Anxiety is a bit like the new full-fat milk. You shouldn't have it, but the reality is without anxiety you wouldn't survive. Anxiety is what stops us from walking out onto the road without checking for cars, or stops us putting our hand on something hot. It's part of our primitive survival instinct. It keeps us alive. But people who suffer from anxiety have lost control of it. The anxiety controls them. It's a bit like the tail wagging the dog. But in my work with clients, I help them take that control back, to learn to use what is a really powerful emotion to achieve whatever it is they want to achieve. So come work with me and find out more.
