Anxiety Slayer

Anxiety Slayer ran for an impressive 16 years and 754 episodes before wrapping up in January 2026. Co-hosts Shann Vander Leek and Ananga Sivyer built an award-winning show that helped countless listeners manage anxiety, stress, PTSD, and panic attacks through a blend of practical tools and holistic approaches. The co-hosted format gave the show a conversational, supportive feel. Shann and Ananga played off each other naturally, and their combined perspectives covered both the psychological and the more alternative wellness sides of anxiety management. Episodes typically ran 20-25 minutes, though some shorter ones clocked in around 8-10 minutes for quick tips. What made this show distinctive was its integration of practices you don't always hear about on mainstream mental health podcasts. Alongside standard anxiety management techniques, the hosts explored aromatherapy, tapping, meditation, and other calming practices. The 4.4-star rating from over 730 reviews reflects a loyal following built over more than a decade and a half. Though the show has concluded, the full archive remains available through the end of 2026, and the hosts' Patreon community continues with courses and guided meditations. With 754 episodes covering just about every anxiety-related topic imaginable, the back catalog is a substantial library for anyone looking for supportive, accessible anxiety content. It's worth exploring even though new episodes have stopped.
