Episode 39 - I Am Not Afraid (Western Sydney University)

09/03/24 • 30 min

In a world of heightened tension and conflict, there is lots to be wary and anxious about. But as the experts say: focus on the things you can control and don’t worry about what you can’t.
This episode is the first appearance on our podcast by students from Western Sydney University. And they look at the things that scare us...and how people deal with those fears.
