The Anxiety Coaches Podcast

Gina Ryan has been quietly building one of the most prolific anxiety podcasts around, with over 1,200 episodes and counting. That kind of consistency since 2014 is remarkable in the podcasting world, and the 4.6-star rating from nearly 1,750 reviewers shows the audience is sticking around for a reason. New episodes drop twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays, and most run between 14 and 22 minutes. That shorter format is actually one of the show's strengths. When you're in the middle of an anxiety spike, a 90-minute episode can feel overwhelming. Gina's bite-sized episodes are manageable enough to listen to during a walk or a lunch break. The tone here is deliberately calming and warm, almost meditative at times. Gina covers lifestyle changes that help settle the nervous system, incorporates guided meditations into some episodes, and talks about stress management, PTSD recovery, and healthy living practices. There's a spiritual dimension to the show as well, which won't appeal to everyone but feels organic rather than preachy. Gina mixes solo teaching episodes with guest conversations, though she clearly carries the show herself most of the time. The back catalog is genuinely massive, so if you find a topic that resonates, there are probably a dozen related episodes to explore. For people who want a gentle, steady companion for their anxiety recovery rather than something intense or clinical, this fits the bill perfectly.
