In our thirteenth Medicine 360 podcast, Anna Mathur speaks with Dr Ishminder Mangat about motherhood anxiety. She discusses what anxiety is as well as the many guises it can take, and she reflects on what inspired her to write her books and how social media impacts on anxiety as well as how the practice of gratitude has been transformative for her.
Anna Mathur is the author of the best-selling Mind over Mother – Every mum’s guide to worry and anxiety in the first years (2020), Know your Worth (2021), The Little Book of Calm for New Mums (2022), The Little Book of New Mum feelings (2023) and Raising A Happier Mother (2023).
Just out this month (August 2024) is her most recent book, The Uncomfortable Truth.
Anna is a therapist and is extremely passionate about making therapy accessible to everyone: she also runs courses to support women's emotional needs. She has a hugely popular podcast: 'The Therapy Edit'.
This podcast is hosted by Dr Ishminder Mangat, a junior doctor in Bristol interested in exploring the links between medicine and the humanities. She was the lead organiser of Bodies (2023).
