Sean Chew: Anxiety Explained — What's Normal and What's Not | Sero Boost #83
In this episode of Sero Boost, Sarah sits down with psychotherapist and trauma specialist Sean Chew to unpack the topic of anxiety—how it shows up, how it differs from stress, and the impact it can have on daily life and wellbeing. Sean Chew shares why anxiety is the body’s natural alert system, but can become disruptive if it lingers too long. He also introduces practical strategies to help manage it, including the 54321 grounding method, a simple tool to calm morning and bedtime anxiety. Together, Sarah and Sean Chew discuss how mindfulness techniques, though often challenging, can be practiced consistently to become powerful habits for easing anxiety and reconnecting with joy and meaning. With years of clinical and counselling experience, Sean Chew also emphasizes the importance of knowing when to seek professional support—reminding listeners that help is available and recovery is possible.

Mohsen Joshanloo: Fear of Happiness, Explained with Cultural Influences | Sero Boost #81
In this episode of Sero Boost, host Sarah Stancombe is joined by guest Mohsen Joshanloo to discover how the fear of happiness is present in every society, and it is more normalized in some than others. Thanks to Mohsen Joshanloo’s culture-based research, we are able to identify the reasons for this fear, and how deeply they are connected to culture. Mohsen Joshanloo is a personality and cross-cultural psychologist. His research focuses on mental well-being, optimal aging, and culture. He contributes to the internationalization of psychological science by collaborating with researchers worldwide, and incorporating data from countries across six continents - his research on this topic has been published in over 150 articles and book chapters. He obtained his PhD in 2013 from Victoria University of Wellington. He is currently an Associate Professor at Keimyoung University and holds honorary positions at the University of Melbourne and the University of Pretoria. Mohsen Joshanloo explains that many religions have a fear of happiness built into them, for example, beliefs that sadness will naturally come after happiness, that happiness is sinful if it involved forgetting the deity of the religion, or that others will be jealous of your happiness and try to make life worse for you out of envy. In these cases, upbringing and religion, so heavily built into culture, are the main causes for a normalized fear of happiness in a society. Together, Sarah and Mohsen Joshanloo discuss a step by step guide to recognizing and tackling a fear of happiness (if that is what is desired by the person suffering from it). From recognizing the problem, to remembering it is normal, and seeking help or resources if needed, there are ways to discover more about the fear of happiness and uncover how it may affect you and your life.
