Podcast appearances and mentions of jodi richardson

In some ways, Dr. Jodi and I are peas in a metaphoric pod. We've both had our battles with food, exercise, weight, body image, self-esteem, self-worth, eating issues and all the psychological, emotional and sociological stuff that intersects with the 'body' stuff. As is often the way on TYP, this conversation was not the one we intended to have, going in. Fortunately, I think it was better.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Jodi Richardson sits down with Jodie (Jordana) Wassner, a neuro-affirming Educational and Developmental Psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with young people and their families across Melbourne and Sydney. Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal lived experience with neurodivergence, Jodie shares her unique approach to supporting neurodivergent youth through radical acceptance and values-based strategies. As an author, speaker, and clinician who divides her time between direct client work and educational training for professionals and families worldwide, Jodie brings a wealth of practical wisdom to this conversation. The discussion takes a refreshing turn when addressing social challenges for young people with autism. Rather than prescribing generic social skills training, Jodie explains her values-first approach—helping neurodivergent youth define what meaningful friendship looks like specifically for them before determining steps toward connection. This personalised method honours individual differences while providing practical pathways to fulfilling relationships. Listeners will appreciate Jodie's candid exploration of "worry habits" and her perspective that anxiety isn't something to eliminate but rather to understand and accommodate. She challenges traditional symptom-reduction approaches to stress, instead offering tools to help young people recognise their specific anxiety patterns and develop sustainable coping strategies. Throughout the episode, Jodie weaves together insights from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with her extensive experience supporting autism and attention differences, creating a compassionate framework for parents, educators, and clinicians supporting neurodivergent youth. Whether you're a parent seeking to better understand your neurodivergent child, a professional working with diverse young people, or someone interested in progressive approaches to mental health, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on embracing neurodiversity while building meaningful lives.

Join Dr. Jodi Richardson in this powerful and deeply moving episode as she welcomes acclaimed author and psychotherapist Dr. Stephanie Dowrick to discuss her transformative new book, "Your Name is Not Anxious." In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Dr. Dowrick invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with anxiety, describing it as a "coloniser" that takes over your identity and a "liar" that distorts your perception of reality. Together, they explore how negative self-talk erodes our wellbeing and how breaking the cycle begins with a simple but profound question: "Would you speak to your best friend the way you speak to yourself?" The conversation takes a personal turn as both women share their own journeys with anxiety – Stephanie opening up about her earlier struggles with OCD and current chronic pain from stress fractures in her spine, while Jodi speaks candidly about her experience with medication. Drawing from her book, Dr. Dowrick offers practical wisdom for reclaiming power from the "robbery" of anxiety and depression through small, hopeful steps toward re-empowerment. She emphasises the importance of: Asking for help when needed Using body-soothing techniques to reduce cortisol levels Implementing guided meditation and self-hypnosis (techniques expanded upon in her book) Learning from situations where you already cope well This episode doesn't just theorise about anxiety – it offers a compassionate roadmap for those struggling to separate themselves from their anxious thoughts and rediscover their true identity beyond the limiting label of "anxious." A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand and transform their relationship with anxiety through self-compassion, insight, and hope.

You know when you hit record with a friend and suddenly the conversation cuts straight through the noise? That’s exactly what happened here with Dr. Jodi Richardson. No agenda. No roadmap. Just two curious minds, a million hats, and a whole lot of real-life chit chat. We talk about the merry-go-round of modern life, what it means to really stop, and why sitting still can sometimes feel harder than the hustle. We unpack the guilt that creeps in when we rest, how to untangle self-worth from productivity, and why fun isn’t a selfish luxury, but a selfless non-negotiable, in fact.

An unforgettable conversation about trusting your instincts. In this powerful episode, host, Dr. Jodi Richardson, sits down with Kathy Rhodes, who shares her harrowing yet ultimately triumphant battle with stage 3 cervical cancer. When she sensed something was wrong with her body, doctors repeatedly dismissed her concerns — but her persistence saved her life, leading to a diagnosis that changed everything. Kathy takes us through her extraordinary journey to becoming cancer-free, including her courageous decision to face treatment largely alone — a choice that transformed her people-pleasing tendencies into newfound strength. The topics covered in this episode include; Moving closer to the hospital to prioritise her treatment Confronting her mortality while managing anxiety, guilt, and self-blame Developing innovative anxiety management techniques, including her weekly "feeling all the feels" for 30 minutes Her fascinating "do-over" strategy for breaking cycles of overthinking Living with lasting effects like brittle bones and constant tinnitus Finding moments of laughter even in the darkest times of treatment Practical advice for supporting loved ones through cancer diagnoses "Life beyond cancer isn't easy either," Kathy reminds us, offering rare insight into the ongoing challenges survivors face after treatment ends. She also shares the surprisingly fun and meaningful ways her friends showed up for her when she needed it most.

In Exercise Science there's a concept (tool, scale) that's used to assess how hard a person thinks they're working (1-10) based on their capacity, with 10 being their (perceived) absolute physical limit. It's called the 'Rate of Perceived Exertion' (RPE) scale. It's a subjective self-assessment (which makes it makes it more science-ish, than hard science) but nonetheless, I'm always interested in how hard people 'think' they're working (or perhaps, how much of their potential they think they're using) in the gym, but also outside the gym. In life. In this TYP extravaganza, Dr. Jodi (who has a PhD. in Exercise Physiology) and I do a deep dive around this concept (and lots more).drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Jodi is back and among other things, we talk about the ever-present juggling act of parents wanting to protect their kids, while also giving them the space, freedom and responsibility to solve problems, experience (some) discomfort, develop people skills, scrape their knees (literally or metaphorically) and build resilience, confidence and the practical skills to be able to deal with the messy-ness and mayhem of life beyond the parental bubble. As someone who doesn't have kids, I found this chat fascinating and enlightening (and broadly relevant beyond parenting).

Does anxiety show up for you whenever you decide you'd like to try something new? Or perhaps you feel those tell-tale signs in your physiology and notice the changes in your thinking when an opportunity comes your way, you're ready to get started on bringing a dream to life or maybe whenever you decide you want to speak up about something you're passionate about. Anxiety has a way of keeping us, and our lives, small if we let it. I recorded this episode because around here, we don't let anxiety stand in our way. In this episode I share a way of thinking about the 'task' or 'challenge' at hand so that you can break it down, manage your anxiety, get started and keep going.

Whether you're a parent or not, it can be an extremely difficult season of life.

Do you worry a lot? Do you know someone who does? If you answered yes to either of these questions you are going to get so much relief from this week's episode.  How we think has a profound impact on how we feel and what we do. Worry can be so very debilitating, bringing with it a gnawing sense of anxiety that disrupts daily activities, saps energy, impairs concentration and genuinely affecting happiness. Worry can also lead to insomnia, fatigue, a weakened immune system and more. There are a lot of downsides to worry, so is it worth our time and energy? Researchers from Pen State University ran a study to answer the question 'how many worries actually come true?'. In this episode Dr Jodi Richardson shares the surprising findings of this research in addition to practical strategies to help you put worry in its place. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is part one of a three-part series with parents Leigh and Pierre. Leigh is from the US and Pierre is from France, and they moved their family from France to the states one year ago. They have two children - almost 5 yr old Jean  and 2 year old Nina. However, they came to Leslie to talk  about Jean who is not speaking outside of her immediate family.  Over time, Leigh and Pierre have heard the diagnosis “selective mutism” and have made changes accordingly, but they're still struggling with what they should do. In this episode Leslie walks Leigh and Pierre through an assessment of why a child might be selectively speaking. While there are lots of causes, they mostly boil down to vulnerability. Is Jean stressing about her learning two languages at once? Struggling with perfectionism?  Or Is she not feeling safe when she's out in the world? We ask these questions and many more in this sessionTime StampsSelective MutismParents explain how they're reacting to their child's strugglesWhen parents can relate to their  struggles - is there a  genetic componentDeveloping an avoidant behavior: the child speaks when they feel safeConfidence, safety, willingness: 3 important things, without them child is left feeling vulnerableTalk about what perfectionism looks like in kids and adults.

Welcome to Episode 3 of our Summer Series on "Well, Hello Anxiety." In this instalment, your host, Dr Jodi Richardson, takes centre stage to explore a topic that affects us all: worry. Worry is a normal and sometimes helpful aspect of our lives, but when it becomes overwhelming or impedes our ability to fully engage in life, it's time to address it. Dr. Richardson believes that this episode can be a turning point for anyone wrestling with excessive worry. Worry and anxiety are deeply interconnected. The constant anticipation of things going wrong, coupled with the fear of worst-case scenarios, can trigger our stress response, further fueling anxiety. Conversely, anxiety can intensify our worries, creating a feedback loop that can be incredibly distressing. What makes this episode truly special is the practical takeaway it offers. Dr. Richardson introduces a memorable 3-step strategy for managing worry, making it a personal tool and something you can teach and share with your family. The beauty of this strategy is its adaptability; you'll hear a variety of approaches to each step, ensuring you find what resonates best with you. Throughout the episode, Dr. Richardson emphasizes the importance of grounding oneself through the body, starting with the breath. Even small changes in our breathing patterns can make a meaningful difference, and mindfulness techniques are introduced to enhance this process. Anxiety can be challenging, but it's treatable, and worry is one of those aspects of anxiety that, after listening to this episode, may no longer feel insurmountable. Dr. Richardson hopes that you'll find the strategy achievable and that it remains with you, ready to be employed whenever you need it most. Join us in this empowering episode and take the first steps toward managing worry and reclaiming your peace of mind. We look forward to bringing you another special episode in our Summer Series next week.   FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE 'WELL, HELLO SCHOOL ANXIETY' PROGRAMhttps://drjodirichardson.com/school/    ABOUT JODI: Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Today, we want to delve into a topic that resonates deeply with many of us - anxiety. Specifically, we will be focusing on high functioning anxiety and how it affects high achievers, overachievers, and those who strive for excellence in their personal and professional lives. I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Jodi Richardson, a renowned expert in well-being science and the author of "Anxious Kids" and "Anxious Mums." Dr. Richardson shares her insights, experiences, and strategies for managing anxiety in a way that empowers us all. During the conversation, Dr. Richardson sheds light on the science behind anxiety and how it manifests in different individuals. We will explore the physical and psychological symptoms that accompany anxiety, as well as the impact of anxiety on our well-being and energy levels. As working mothers, we often find ourselves juggling numerous responsibilities, both at home and in the workplace. The pressures and demands can sometimes lead to feelings of overwhelm and stress. By understanding how anxiety affects us, we can better navigate these challenges and find a sense of balance. One aspect that Dr. Richardson will discuss is the concept of sensory thresholds. While traditionally associated with individuals on the autism spectrum, sensory thresholds are something that all of us possess. The low threshold for noise, for example, that Dr. Richardson mentions can be relatable for many working mothers who crave moments of peace and quiet amidst the chaos. Additionally, we will explore the different states of the nervous system - the ventral vagal (rest and digest), sympathetic (fight or flight), and dorsal vagal (shutdown, freeze, numbing, dissociation). Understanding these states can help us recognise when we are experiencing anxiety and take steps to regulate our nervous system, shifting back into the restorative ventral vagal state. Dr. Richardson provides practical strategies for managing anxiety, such as engaging in a morning routine, incorporating physical movement, and utilising our senses to shift our attention from worry to our bodies. We believe that Dr. Richardson's insights will not only resonate with high achievers seeking guidance but will also be valuable to anyone curious about understanding and managing anxiety. Furthermore, her unique blend of professionalism and relatability will provide a refreshing perspective in the mental health space. Together, we can navigate the challenges of anxiety and thrive in our roles as working mothers. You can listen to the episode here: https://wisdomforworkingmums.co.uk/124 or via itunes or spotify.

Conversations are life changing. It's why I've created the space to invest so much of my time having them and producing them for the world to listen to. Sure we need to take action and get things moving, but I'm just not convinced most people understand the profound effect that a single conversation can have on us and how much it changes us. After my recent conversation with Dr. Jodi Richardson (ep650) she left us with a super valuable strategy for putting some space between us and our thoughts. Not only did I LOVE this, but the very next morning I noticed myself unintentionally put it into action. What an amazing privilege. I'm sharing this experience in this episode, I hope you can find it as useful as I did.   TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches/ Website: www.rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram:  www.instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/tiffaneeandco  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anxiety, we ALL experience it. Every single day, in fact. And thank goodness for that, as it is a message and a barometer signaling when things in our environment or experiences aren't quite right. However, it's a continuum and sometimes anxiety can be prolonged and become chronic. Or sometimes, like Dr. Jodi, some of us can experience anxiety disorders despite having no circumstances or experiences to warrant such. Dr. Jodi recalls experiencing anxiety from a young as 4, although it wasn't until her mid 20's after getting diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, that she began to better understand and manage her mental health experiences.  Now between sharing a LOVE for martial arts along with chocolate and cookies, I've successfully landed myself another bestie in Dr. Jodi. We could have talk for hours and I'm certain this won't be her last appearance on the show.  This particular conversation is full of insight along with practical and valuable advice around anxiety, depression and mental health.    SPONSORED BY AED AUTHORITY Website: www.aedauthority.com.au  DR.
