<![CDATA[the anxious CEO]]>What if the anxiety you've been fighting is actually your greatest strength?

the anxious CEO™ is hosted by Hayley Roffey, Co-CEO of Global Fund for Children. With over 20 years of experience building and leading organisations, Hayley has spent much of that time navigating the very thing so many of us are quietly carrying and rarely naming.

Anxiety doesn't stay in one part of life. It shows up in the office and in the kitchen, in the moments before we speak up and the moments we stay silent instead. It touches the way we parent, the way we love, the way we show up for ourselves when no one's watching. This podcast is for anyone who has felt that particular weight. The overthinkers. The ones who feel everything deeply. The ones who have built extraordinary lives while quietly wondering if today is the day it all falls apart.

We will talk about what anxiety actually feels like from the inside, in leadership and far beyond it, and why the thing you've spent years trying to manage might actually be the most useful thing in the room.

Real conversations.

No toxic positivity. No performance of calm.

Your anxiety is your edge. Here is where we prove it.

Well, this podcast might just be what you've been looking for.


Drop a 🔥 if you’ve felt this before... because you’re not alone. In this first ever episode of the anxious ceo podcast, I share about my personal relationship with anxiety, about how I got here speaking to you on a podcast and how anxiety might just be your greatest leadership asset.


What if we stopped seeing anxiety as a weakness and started working with it? The constant obsessing over details might not be the flaw you've always hidden from others. It could be insight in disguise. The same mind that worries about the small stuff is also the one noticing what others miss.


After you've listened, I'd love to hear from you - how do you harness your anxiety?


Please share with someone who needs to hear this. Welcome, to the anxious ceo podcast - you are so welcome.
