The world is shifting rapidly, and with it, anxiety is at an all-time high. From the cost-of-living crisis and food insecurity to AI replacing jobs, the far-right rising in politics, and the struggle to stay hopeful, it feels like we’re all just trying to keep our heads above water.

.

In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Maria, a practicing witch from Estonia, and Alistair, a spiritual practitioner with Persian-Scottish roots. We dive into the collective anxieties shaping our world and how to stay grounded amidst uncertainty.

.

We explore:

.

• The rising cost of food & essentials—how it’s impacting health and well-being.

.

• AI: Threat or tool for empowerment? Why it’s changing the way we work and live.

.

• Pluto in Aquarius & historical cycles of revolution—what astrology says about this era and does it just further exacerbate our anxiety?

.

• McSpirituality & the commercialisation of healing—why spirituality has become exclusionary.

.

• The political landscape—why history keeps repeating, and the dangers of division.

.

• The uncertainty of having kids—should we bring children into this world?

.

We wrap up with a short grounding meditation to help you release tension, calm your nervous system, and find stability in the chaos.

.

🎧 Tune in for a deep, raw conversation on the anxieties of our time—and tips on how to navigate them.
