Anxiety, Panic Attacks & Women’s Health: Jess and Dr Victoria Go There

A real, honest conversation about anxiety, panic attacks, and the overwhelming moments so many of us quietly carry.

This week we’re joined by Dr Victoria Thompson, clinical psychologist, to dive deep into anxiety in all its forms.

Jess opens up about her own recent experience with anxiety and panic attacks, sharing what those moments have actually looked and felt like behind the scenes. Together, we unpack what anxiety really is, how to recognise when it’s becoming unmanageable, why panic attacks happen, and how health anxiety shows up, especially for women navigating chronic symptoms or complex health journeys.

We also explore the link between women’s health conditions and anxiety, and the practical tools that can help you come back to safety, calm, and self-trust.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, spiralled into fear, or wondered “is this normal?”, this episode will feel like a breath out.
