SHOWNOTES: Anxiety, Connection and King Kong EP #3
A dancing gorilla, an immigration bombshell, and a marriage visa surprise. In this wild episode, Heidi Dening shares how King Kong stole Batgirl’s heart—and why human connection is her #1 de-stress tool.
Plus: neuroscience gold from Dr. John Arden on how to reduce anxiety by doing exactly what you don’t feel like doing.
Heads up: Heidi's on a remote island without a mic, so audio quality is patchy—but worth it.
You'll learn:
- Heidi’s favourite de-stress tip—and the neuroscience behind why connection calms anxiety
- Dr. John Arden’s brilliant explanation of how avoiding what makes us anxious actually worsens it
- Why chocolate literally tastes better when eaten with someone else
- How Heidi met her husband while he was dressed as King Kong, and how her dad (a police officer) accidentally forced a marriage
- Toni’s reflections on betrayal, loneliness, and the places we hold pain
🎧 Topics include:
Anxiety relief, neuroscience, connection, marriage stories, resilience, neuroplasticity, illegal immigration, humour, emotional healing, and mental health tools.
