Today’s guest is Anna Nikolaou. She’s a registered psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia & a dedicated member of the Australian Psychological Society. Through her work, Anna has noticed that people are not being present. We are stressed & anxious, & as a result are disassociating from the world, often via devices. Anna is passionate about empowering people with tools to manage this stress and live a more purposeful & present life.

In today’s episode, we speak about why people are experiencing so much anxiety today more than ever. We talk about how a lot of us are overbooking ourselves and then loving when plans are cancelled. And most importantly, she gives us different perspectives and tools to use in dealing with stress and anxiety.
