Doing It Anyway: OCD and beyond

Health EN ↓ 8 episodes

Doing It Anyway is a podcast about living with OCD and everything beyond it. It’s about trying to do the things that matter, even when intrusive thoughts, doubt and anxiety get in the way. This isn’t about having it all figured out - it’s about sharing experiences, learning from others and exploring ways to live alongside OCD.Hosted by someone with lived experience, the show includes personal reflections, conversations with people who live with OCD and insights from mental health professionals. It’s about continuing with life, imperfectly, anyway.
