This weeks episode starts with the first in our series on stress and anxiety. When we put out a request for questions a few weeks ago, many of you messaged regarding stress or anxiety in leaving cert teenagers. Some of you asked for strategies in dealing with your own personal stress levels and many more of you spoke about anxiety 'coming out of nowhere' and stopping you from doing every day things like socialising. So, we have decided to do a series and hopefully help to satisfy your curiosity about the differences between stress and anxiety and share some of the strategies we have used.

AMA: Ask Me Anything - A review of episodes shared to date
This week, we sent a question box out to our listeners via social media and asked for questions. A large proportion of those questions related to episodes we have recorded so we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of some of the topics we have covered already. Have a listen, let us know which was your favourite episode and what stood out to you - next week, we are going to be discussing anxiety.

When's the last time you tried something new?
If you have been feeling stuck, then this episode is for you. Trying new things, exploring and curating a life aligned with our values (a big one being adventure) is all part of the master plan. Fiona and Ber talk about some of the new things they have done within the last year. They discuss the benefits of exploring things that they are not good at, being curious and allowing for adventure and play in their lives.

Welcome to the 'Full of It' podcast. Before you make any assumptions, and guess that this podcast is just two cocky birds talking, I want to tell you what this pod is really about. 'Full of it' is an honest collection of conversations based around psychology, human behaviour, and the ups and downs of life. With over 50 years of experience working in the health (physical and mental) industry between us, we share our honest reflections on every day issues, as well as offering some different perspectives on some of the barriers that come up in the ups and downs of life.
