Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the third episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor. To coincide with World Mental Health Day this  October, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast  – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way. If this episode resonates with you, or you have something you think we should talk about, or get an expert on to discuss, then please email us at [email protected] In this episode we talk about fear and anxiety around change. We know it’s quite normal to worry about change, but when does that fear or concern turn into something that’s not normal? When does worry turn into anxiety? And are we nuts for worrying about it at all?   Am I Nuts is brought to you by the Women’s Running podcast – do please check it out wherever you listen to your podcasts for longer episodes to keep you company while you run.
