Radio Calm The Llama – Calming Anxiety with TAME
This is Radio Calm the Llama: 30 minutes designed to lower the volume on the drama. Nothing to achieve, nowhere to get to — just listen.
In this episode, host Mark Lockyer explores anxiety and the powerful role the left brain plays in fuelling it. Discover why an anxious mind is often stuck in the future, endlessly problem-solving and chasing control, and how that “anxiety story” can quietly steal the quality of your present moment. Learn the difference between trying to control life’s bigger challenges (relationships, work stress, health worries, loss) and learning to manage them instead.
Mark introduces a gentler approach that helps quiet the overactive left brain, reconnect with the present, and create more space and options in the middle of difficult times. Whether you’re lying awake at 2 a.m. replaying what-ifs or simply feeling the weight of an ongoing story, this calming episode offers practical insight and space to reflect — so you can move from exhausting control to steadier management.
Press play, settle in, and let Radio Calm the Llama guide you toward a quieter mind.
