Steady and Connected

Does anxiety show up in your closest relationships? Do you find yourself seeking reassurance, reading into silences, or pulling away just when you want to get closer?

You're not difficult. You're not too much. Your nervous system may be responding to patterns laid down long before this relationship began.

Steady and Connected is the podcast that explains why — and shows you what you can do about it.

Hosted by Dr Narelle Duncan, Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Griffith University, drawing on 30 years of helping people understand themselves. Each episode brings you evidence-based tools for understanding anxiety, attachment, and emotional regulation in your closest relationships.

Practical. Warm. Clinically grounded. Made specifically for people navigating the real pressures of relationships and mental health today.
