Jumped To A Conclusion - Here's How to Step Back

When plans change or life hits out of nowhere, our brain jumps straight into meltdown mode. Why? Because the emotional brain fires first and grabs the quickest explanation it can find — usually the worst one. That’s why you spiral, overthink, and get stuck on a single story that feels way heavier than it is.

In today’s short episode, we break down what actually happens in your mind the moment uncertainty hits, why your world suddenly feels smaller, and how to loosen that mental grip before it takes over.

You’ll learn the first step to shifting out of the freakout:

Try it next time life shifts — and tell me how it goes.

Until next time, keep looking forward.
