28: Accepting our own Anxiety Journey with Ban Hass

Unravelling with Lauren Barber

In this episode of Unravelling, I get to chat to the wonderful Ban Hass about her journey with anxiety, as well as the magic of social media.

Ban is a BS free Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor and freelance writer. She uses satire, humour and parody to voice opinions and make observations on the fitness industry (#fitspo) on social media. I came across Ban through Instagram and was so excited that she agreed to come on to the podcast.

In this episode we talk about...

• Ban’s personal journey with anxiety and how she manages her own mental health.

• Why it is totally OK to not have it all figured out and to be constantly learning new tools and letting go of things that don’t work anymore.

• How Ban has dealt with the feelings of ‘failure’ when anxiety has returned, and why she is openly talking about taking medication.

• When ‘performing’ as an instructor or teacher can lead to stress and burnout and why Ban is strict with her own personal boundaries.

• The pros and cons of social media, particularly Instagram, and how to create your own set of rules around how to use the platform to serve YOU.

And much, much more!
