Why buying stuff keeps you stuck in an anxiety loop

Owning It: The Anxiety Podcast·Caroline Foran·23 July 2026·50 min

About this episode

This episode with sustainability expert Jo Linehan explores overconsumption as a quiet anxiety loop. We're examining the way constant wanting, trend cycles, and ‘buy it now’ urgency can keep our nervous systems on edge and what to do about it in a realistic way. This is a vulnerability factor that contributes to anxiety that most of us are unaware of.
