Podcasts about anxious

Back-to-school season is packed with emotions like joy, nerves, excitement, and a whole lot of worry about what's to come. That's why in this episode I'm sharing eight tiny tweaks that have helped my kids (and me!) face new seasons with courage. From creating side-by-side conversations and normalizing anxiety, to adding comfort anchors, practicing new situations, and celebrating milestones, these small shifts make a big difference in helping kids flex their “fear muscle.” Rooted in my experiences as a former first-grade teacher and now as a mom to four, this conversation is all about giving our kids the tools to navigate uncertainty with resilience while reminding us as parents that our role isn't to remove the hard things, but to walk with our kids through them. This episode will encourage you to approach back-to-school with fresh eyes, practical ideas, and a little more peace as you help your children step bravely into the year ahead. Mentioned in This Episode:

You haven't changed jobs. Nothing's wrong at home. Your kids are fine. And you still feel anxious in a way you can't explain.A listener wrote to me about crying in a Target parking lot for 20 minutes because she couldn't find her keys. She's not a crier. That's what scared her.In this episode, I get into what's actually happening in your brain during perimenopause and why this can hit you for the first time in your 40s, even if you've never struggled with anxiety before. I also talk about the explanations you've probably already been handed, and why they might only be part of the picture.If you've been wondering whether something is actually wrong with you, this conversation might change how you think about it.Not sure where to start?

This message is about avoiding the trap of worry.

If work has become the place where your anxiety feels the loudest, this episode is for you.Maybe Sunday evenings are just filled with dread these days, or one email can send you into hours of overthinking. Maybe you constantly question whether you're good enough, replay conversations on your drive home, worry you've said the wrong thing, or feel like you're waiting to be found out.You might tell yourself you're being too sensitive, that you should be able to cope, or that everyone else seems to handle work so much better than you do.In this episode, we're exploring why work can become such a powerful trigger for some. I talks about why your reactions often run much deeper than the job itself, how old beliefs can shape the way you experience work, pressure and success or failure.If you're lacking confidence or self-esteem at work and it's really impacting you, listen now or save for later.Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The reason your marriage is sexless has nothing to do with sex. If you think a lack of intimacy in your relationship is a sex problem, I need you to hear this — it's almost never about the bedroom.In this episode, I break down emotional availability: what it really means, why so many good, hardworking, faithful men struggle with it, and how childhood shapes the way we handle conflict as adults. I explain the biology behind emotional shutdown, walk through attachment styles — secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant — and show why emotional safety is the real path to physical intimacy for most women. Then I give you five practical shifts to become more emotionally reachable, plus real scripts you can use tonight.This isn't about blame. It's about understanding the blueprint you were handed — so you can build something better.Join the waitlist for my upcoming coaching program for midlife men: https://taboototruth.wixforms.com/f/7424226439106397420In This Episode:0:00 - Cold Open: "It's Almost Never About the Bedroom"0:20 - Welcome to Taboo to Truth1:05 - The Emotionally Unavailable Man: What Today's Episode Covers2:15 - "He's a Great Guy, But I Can't Get Close to Him"3:45 - What Emotional Availability Actually Means5:30 - Real Examples: What He Says vs. What She Hears7:15 - How Boys Are Taught to Suppress Emotion9:15 - The Biology of Shutdown: Flooding, Adrenaline & the Amygdala11:00 - What Are You Really Protecting?12:00 - Attachment Styles: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant & Fearful-Avoidant15:30 - Your Brain Can Change: Neuroplasticity Explained16:45 - Why Sexless Marriages Are Rarely About Sex19:00 - The 5 Shifts to Become Emotionally Available21:15 - Real Scripts: What to Say Instead22:10 - The Client Story: "I Thought I Had a Sex Problem"22:35 - Final Thoughts & Coaching WaitlistWant a deeper look?

Earning more doesn't reliably make you feel safe with money — because financial security is a feeling built on a moving reference point, not a number your bank balance eventually crosses. Episode Overview This episode separates two things we treat as one: financial stability, which is a measurable fact, and financial security, which is a feeling. We unpack why the "number" that would finally make you feel okay keeps sliding forward exactly as fast as you approach it — and hand you a way to tell whether your money anxiety is pointing at a real gap or a line you keep redrawing. What You'll Discover Why "money dysmorphia" lets you feel broke while the statement says otherwise — and why it shows up in high earners just as often as anyone else The three forces that quietly keep "enough" out of reach: hedonic adaptation, social comparison, and the money scripts you inherited without choosing them What the income-and-happiness research actually found, once two researchers who publicly disagreed teamed up to reconcile their conflicting studies The difference between financial stability (a fact) and financial security (a feeling) — and why most money advice only ever works on one side of that gap Three questions, in order, that reveal whether your anxiety is pointing at a real shortfall or a finish line that keeps moving The ten-minute "Security Gap" exercise for naming, concretely, what "enough" actually means for your life Why "earn more" and "budget harder" both miss the mark for people who are already financially stable and still feel unsafe FAQ Q: Why do I still feel financially anxious even though I earn good money? A: Because feeling secure is a psychological state, not a bank balance. As income rises, spending and expectations tend to rise with it — a pattern called hedonic adaptation, or lifestyle creep — so the number that would make you feel "safe" keeps moving just out of reach. Underneath that sits an inherited story about money that a raise can't touch. Q: What is money dysmorphia? A: Money dysmorphia is a distorted read on your own financial reality — feeling broke while your statement says otherwise, or feeling one bad month from ruin while sitting on a genuine cushion. It shows up at every income level, including high earners, and it isn't a sign that you're ungrateful or irrational. Q: How do I know if my financial anxiety is pointing at a real problem or a moving line? A: Ask three questions in order: is this a number or my nervous system (get the actual facts on the table first), where is the line and is it moving (name the figure that would feel safe and check whether it's crept up over the years), and whose voice is the alarm (is this fear about something specific you can name, or an inherited pattern still running long after the danger passed)? Where To Go From Here This episode is part of the optYOUmize Money & Financial Wellbeing series — exploring how to build a grounded, honest relationship with money, security, and what "enough" actually means. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or YouTube.

I'm Still Finding My Way – Why You Don't Need Your Old Self Back Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I just want the old me back"? I know I have. I've heard it from hundreds of clients too. It sounds comforting because we believe our old self represents certainty, confidence and stability. But what if that's not really what we're looking for? In this deeper dive I explore an idea that completely changed the way I see personal development. Instead of chasing an old version of ourselves—or even trying to discover some perfect "real me"—perhaps we're simply finding our way. Because your way changes as you change. I'll share part of my own journey through depression, identity and the work I've been doing around my North Star. Together we'll explore why identity isn't somewhere you arrive, but something that keeps unfolding, and I'll guide you through a simple reflective process to help you reconnect with the qualities that have always been part of you. If you've ever felt lost, uncertain or caught between who you were and who you're becoming, I hope this episode helps you realise that maybe you haven't lost your way at all. In this episode you'll discover: Why wanting your "old self" back may be keeping you stuck. The difference between identity and the qualities that never leave you. A simple "Museum of Selves" exercise to reflect on every version of your life. Why your future isn't about becoming someone different, but continuing to unfold. Practical journal questions to help you take your next small step. Remember... You're not going backwards. You're still finding your way. And your way changes as you change.

Have you ever felt anxious before your workday even begins?Maybe your heart starts racing before you log in. Maybe your stomach tightens during your commute. Or perhaps you end every shift emotionally exhausted, wondering why work seems to drain so much more than your energy.If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone.Workplace anxiety affects millions of people, yet many of us dismiss it as “just part of being an adult.” We tell ourselves to push through, work harder, and be grateful to have a job. But chronic workplace stress doesn't just disappear—it often follows us home, disrupts our sleep, impacts our relationships, and slowly chips away at our mental and emotional well-being.In this episode of The Grounded Bag Podcast, we're unpacking the hidden causes of workplace anxiety, exploring why work can feel emotionally overwhelming, and sharing practical tools you can use to protect your peace without sacrificing your career.What Is Workplace Anxiety?Workplace anxiety isn't simply having a stressful day.It's the ongoing emotional, physical, and psychological distress connected to your work environment or job responsibilities. It can show up as:* Racing thoughts before work* Difficulty concentrating* Trouble sleeping the night before a shift* Feeling emotionally numb or constantly overwhelmed* Muscle tension or headaches* Irritability and emotional exhaustion* Fear of making mistakes* Feeling like you're never doing enoughSometimes the anxiety comes from the job itself. Other times, it's the environment surrounding the work.Why Does Work Make Us So Anxious?There isn't one universal cause. Workplace anxiety is often the result of multiple stressors building over time.Toxic Workplace CulturesConstant criticism, gossip, favoritism, micromanagement, poor leadership, or lack of psychological safety can leave employees feeling emotionally guarded every day.When survival becomes the goal instead of growth, anxiety naturally follows.Unrealistic ExpectationsMany workplaces expect employees to produce more with fewer resources while remaining constantly available.The pressure to always perform can create chronic stress that eventually leads to burnout.PerfectionismSometimes the workplace isn't the only source of anxiety.Many of us carry internal beliefs that tell us we must never make mistakes, disappoint others, or ask for help.Perfectionism often disguises itself as ambition—but beneath it is frequently fear.BurnoutBurnout doesn't happen overnight.It develops when stress becomes chronic and recovery never happens.You may begin feeling emotionally detached, physically exhausted, cynical about work, or disconnected from the purpose that once motivated you.Unresolved Stress and TraumaPast experiences—whether from previous jobs, personal relationships, childhood environments, or discrimination—can influence how we respond to workplace challenges today.Sometimes work activates wounds that were never fully healed.Practical Coping Tools for Workplace AnxietyWhile we can't always change our work environment immediately, we can develop healthier ways to care for ourselves while planning our next steps.Create BoundariesBoundaries protect your mental health.That might mean:* Logging off on time* Taking your lunch break* Avoiding checking emails after work* Saying no when your workload becomes unrealisticBoundaries aren't selfish—they're sustainable.Notice Your Physical Stress SignalsPay attention to your body.Do your shoulders tense up during meetings?Does your breathing become shallow?Does your stomach tighten before speaking with certain coworkers?Awareness is often the first step toward healing.Practice Grounding TechniquesSimple grounding exercises can help regulate your nervous system during stressful moments.Try:* Box breathing* A five-minute walk* Stretching between meetings* Naming five things you can see, hear, or feel* Progressive muscle relaxationSmall moments of regulation throughout the day can have a significant impact.Challenge Anxious ThoughtsAsk yourself:* Is this thought based on facts or fear?* What evidence supports this belief?* Am I assuming the worst-case scenario?* What would I tell a friend experiencing this?Learning to question anxious thinking helps reduce its power.Seek SupportYou don't have to navigate workplace anxiety alone.Whether it's therapy, support groups, trusted mentors, or loved ones, talking through your experiences can reduce isolation and help you develop healthier coping strategies.Seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.Grounded Reflection QuestionsTake a few moments to reflect honestly.* What specific parts of work trigger my anxiety?* Do I feel pressure to hide my stress?* What would a psychologically safe workplace feel like?* Am I holding tension I haven't processed?* What helps me feel grounded during the workday?Healing often begins with awareness.Free Mental Health ResourcesIf workplace anxiety has become overwhelming, these organizations offer education, support, and helpful resources:* Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA): https://adaa.org* National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org* HeyPeers: https://heypeers.comJoin the ConversationWhat has helped you manage workplace anxiety?Share your experiences, coping strategies, or lessons you've learned.

Why do some retirees enjoy retirement with confidence while others constantly worry about money, even when they have similar savings? In this episode, we explore the financial habits that help turn retirement from a source of stress into a source of freedom. We'll discuss how creating a reliable retirement paycheck, understanding what you can comfortably spend, staying disciplined during market volatility, and regularly updating your financial plan can provide lasting peace of mind. Retirement confidence isn't about predicting the future or having the biggest portfolio. It's about building a plan that allows you to enjoy the life you've worked so hard to create.

Nobody teaches you how to feel anxious. They teach you how to make it stop. And that's the problem — because most of us aren't actually struggling with anxiety. We're struggling with our resistance to it. This isn't another anxiety toolkit. I've done the breathing episodes, and all of that still stands. These are the few things I actually use on myself and with my coaching clients that I rarely hear anyone talk about. Inside this episode: Why the answer isn't more positivity — and why your brain knows when you're lying to it. Why your body on a treadmill and your body mid-spiral are doing exactly the same thing, and why you'll happily pay a gym for one and panic about the other. The three words I use instead of arguing with my brain's predictions. And the question that tells you instantly whether you're in a real emergency or just watching a very creative film your brain wrote about your future. Anxiety doesn't need to be fixed. It needs to be felt. Get better at that, and you get better at everything downstream of it.

Why does the more someone with anxious preoccupied attachment longs for love, reassurance, and connection, the more likely they are to experience the very abandonment they fear?In this episode of The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show, Dr. Sarah Hensley explores one of the most heartbreaking paradoxes in attachment psychology: the anxious preoccupied attachment style. Learn how the intense fear of rejection can drive behaviors like overthinking, people-pleasing, excessive reassurance-seeking, and emotional hypervigilance—behaviors that often overwhelm relationships and unintentionally push others away. Rather than confirming that they are "too much," these relationship patterns are often rooted in early attachment wounds, inconsistent caregiving, and a nervous system that has learned to equate uncertainty with danger.In this episode, you'll learn:What anxious preoccupied attachment really isWhy fear of abandonment becomes a self-reinforcing cycleHow reassurance-seeking and emotional pursuit affect relationshipsWhy partners may withdraw in response to anxious behaviors The neuroscience behind attachment anxietyPractical steps toward developing a more secure attachment styleWhether you identify with anxious attachment or you're trying to understand a loved one, this episode offers compassionate, science-backed insights into breaking free from the cycle of insecurity and building healthier, more secure relationships.If you found this episode helpful, subscribe to The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show for weekly conversations on attachment theory, trauma recovery, emotional health, and relationship psychology.Tune in every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert insights, and the guidance you need to navigate love and relationships in today's world.

How often do the worries of tomorrow steal the joy and peace available today? Drawing from Philippians 4:4-9, Dr. Randal Lyle reflects on Paul's call to rejoice, pray, and resist anxiety by remembering God's faithfulness. Rather than letting fear of the unknown dominate our thoughts, he reminds listeners that peace grows when we look back with gratitude at the ways God has already provided and cared for us. The invitation is to intentionally practice thanksgiving, trust God's character, and let His peace guard our hearts and minds even when life feels uncertain.

Full Transcript Below: When You Don’t Know Why You’re Anxious By Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24, NIV). I’ve experienced chronic anxiety for as long as I can remember. Until about five years ago, I assumed this was mostly biological, with a few uncomfortable scenarios sprinkled in. And while there may have been some truth to that, I’ve since learned a lot more occurred beneath the surface than I realized. That was a problem, because it’s hard to manage something with roots below conscious awareness. But one day, as I read Psalm 139, a thought hit. The lord knows me better than I know myself. He sees things in my soul that I don’t, and He lovingly shines His healing light into all those spaces where lies and unprocessed hurts reside. From that day on, I began praying today’s passage, asking God to reveal everything within me that weakened my relationship with Him and hindered my peace. David, ancient Israel’s second king who penned Psalm 139, began with a declaration of a truth I find comforting. “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me” (v.1). Not because God needed increased information. The Lord knew everything about him, since before he took his first breath. He then expanded on this in verses 2-4, saying, “You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughts from afar.You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways.Before a word is on my tongueyou, Lord, know it completely.” David was saying, “You know every thought, concern and motive.” The same is true for us. The Lord knows every task weighing heavily on our hearts, every frustration we’ll encounter, and each moment that might challenge our peace and self-control. He sees the pits ahead of us and the detours we’ll feel tempted to take. Some find this depth of knowledge intimidating, maybe because they don’t understand God’s heart. The One who probes the deepest places within us is the same God who gave us His Son, that we might live. David understood this grace. In 1 Samuel 25, he became enraged and nearly annihilated an entire household because of one man’s offense. But the Lord used a wise woman named Abigail to stop him. Later, when David should have been out commanding his army (2 Samuel 11:1), he instead remained home, casually ambling upon the palace rooftop, which was designed to allow kings a bird’s eye view of their land, including the people they ruled. While there, he happened to see a married woman in the land below performing her post-menstrual ritual, per Jewish law. David lusted after and used his authority and royal officials to take her. In modern days, this would’ve fallen well within the #me too movement, because I highly doubt, in this patriarchal society where men often treated women as property, that Bathsheba had the ability, not to mention courage, to refuse the “request” of royal officials or the advances of a king. Then, as if that wasn’t atrocious enough, upon learning his victim was pregnant, he had her husband killed—to hide his sin. Yet, although he did experience consequences, he also received grace (Ps. 51), considering the extent of his sin, extreme grace. Because that’s the promise God made. When we confess our sins, every and any sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). He never searches our souls to condemn us. Rather, He probes and illuminates to cover our biggest faults with mercy and undeserved favor. Everything He does and allows flows from these two motives: One is to bring us flourishing life characterized by love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22-23). His second is to reveal His glory, which is another way of saying who He is in all His attributes. His goal? To awaken our awareness of His greatness so that we would turn to and depend more fully on Him, which is the only way to experience the thriving life Jesus promised in John 10:10. Intersecting Life & Faith: The more we grasp Christ’s heart and ways, the more we want him to reveal those things that are keeping us stuck—in anxiety, fear, anger, bitterness, rage. Whatever distorts our perspective and causes us to behave in ways contrary to who we truly are. Let me read today’s passage again, and perhaps make this your prayer: Search me, God, and know my heart. To the ancient Hebrews, the heart was the source of our motivations, thoughts, and will, including our subconscious. “Test me, Lord.” Look beyond our external behavior to examine those thoughts, motives, and patterns, conscious or not, triggering our anxiety. But here’s the beautiful part. God reveals what’s harmful within us in order to lead us one step further on His path to thriving, everlasting life. The fact that the Lord preserved this prayer in Scripture indicates He intends for us to actively pursue this level of transformation. To invite Him to reveal whatever is keeping us from full, thriving life. That’s a powerful step toward living free.

Hi Parents! In today's episode, I'm joined by Monica Packer, host of the About Progress podcast, certified habits and identity coach, and author of Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last. Monica shares powerful insight into how perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking show up in both teens and adults, and why this mindset often fuels anxiety, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm. We talk about what she calls the “Hidden Habit Saboteur” and how it quietly impacts motivation, confidence, and follow-through in teens who feel like anything less than perfect is failure.  We also explore how parents can shift the way they respond to mistakes, grades, and setbacks by helping teens see them as part of growth rather than evidence of failure. Monica shares practical ways to model progress over perfection at home so teens can build confidence through lived experience, not pressure. If you've ever watched your teen shut down because something felt too overwhelming or avoid trying altogether because they were afraid of not doing it right, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding what's really going on underneath the behaviour.

Why do we keep repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns? In this episode of Harder Than Life, relationship educator Mark Groves joins Kelly Siegel to explore how childhood trauma, self-abandonment, betrayal, shame, and emotional wounds continue to influence adult relationships. Mark shares the personal experiences that inspired his bestselling book Liberated Love, explaining why unresolved pain often leads us to choose emotionally unavailable partners, avoid difficult conversations, and disconnect from ourselves in the name of love. Together, Kelly and Mark discuss healthy boundaries, emotional availability, IFS therapy, nervous system healing, anxious and avoidant relationship patterns, masculinity, self-worth, and why healing happens through honest relationships—not by avoiding them. The conversation also explores AI relationships, social media addiction, digital detox, dopamine, and why genuine human connection is becoming one of the most valuable skills of the modern world. This episode is for anyone searching for:

The disappearing. The suddenly busy. The phone that comes out the second eye contact gets real. In this episode of the nervous system series, Sabrina breaks down the flight response in dating and relationships: what's actually happening in the body when someone pulls back, why intimacy reads as danger, and why "I just need space" almost never has anything to do with space. Anxious and avoidant attachment both run this alarm, and we've spent years villainizing one and excusing the other instead of understanding either. Inside: why going cold after a great date isn't self-sabotage, how hyper independence and fear of vulnerability get wired in childhood, why situationships are often two flight responses agreeing not to scare each other, and the difference between an explanation and an excuse.

The birds don't gather into barns. The lilies don't spin their own clothing. Yet Jesus says both have something to teach us about trust. Financial fear often begins when we realize how much we cannot control. We can plan wisely, save diligently, and prepare carefully—but tomorrow still belongs to God. That's why Jesus' words in Matthew 6 offer such deep comfort for anxious hearts. When Worry Feels Heavy In Matthew 6, Jesus says, “Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.” Later, He adds, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.” For anyone who has struggled with financial fear, those words can feel heavy. You may think, I know I shouldn't worry—but I do. You worry about the bills. You worry about your job. You worry about the market, retirement, your children, or what happens if the car breaks down, the medical bill comes in, or the paycheck doesn't stretch far enough. And then, on top of the worry, you may feel guilty for worrying. But Jesus is not standing over anxious people simply saying, “Stop it.” Instead, He draws near and says, “Look.” Look at the Birds. Consider the Lilies. Jesus invites us to look at the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. He points us to a world that does not revolve around our control, our striving, our spreadsheets, or our ability to predict every outcome. “The birds of the air” do not sow or reap or gather into barns, and yet our heavenly Father feeds them. The lilies do not toil or spin, and yet not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of them. Jesus is not saying planning is wrong. Scripture encourages wise preparation and faithful stewardship. But He is exposing the illusion that we are in control. Anxiety often grows in the gap between what we can manage and what we cannot guarantee. We can make a budget, but we cannot control tomorrow. We can save wisely, but we cannot control the economy. We can work faithfully, but we cannot control every outcome. And when we begin to believe everything depends on us, stewardship becomes a crushing burden. Planning turns into panic. Saving turns into hoarding. Responsibility turns into fear. Your Father Knows That's why Jesus tells us to look beyond ourselves. The birds are a sermon in the sky. The flowers are a testimony in the field. Creation itself is preaching the care of God. And Jesus' point is not merely “Don't worry.” His deeper point is this: Your Father knows. Your Father knows what you need. Your Father sees what burdens you. Your Father understands the bills, the uncertainty, the decisions, the pressure, and the fear that wakes you up at night. And if He feeds the birds—creatures that do not bear His image—how much more will He care for you, His beloved child? That does not mean every financial difficulty disappears. Jesus never promises a life without trouble. In fact, He says, “Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” There are real burdens in this life. There are real needs. There are real moments of uncertainty. But Jesus invites us to face today's trouble with today's grace. Today's Trouble, Today's Grace “Do not be anxious about tomorrow” is not a cold command. It is a tender invitation. Jesus is reminding us that we do not have to live as though the future rests on our shoulders. We do not have to secure our own universe. We do not have to hold everything together. Our Father is already there. So what do we do with financial anxiety? We bring it honestly to God. We name the fears we are carrying. We ask for wisdom where action is needed. We seek wise counsel when decisions feel too heavy. And then, with open hands, we release what we cannot control. We do the next faithful thing today. Our Security Is in God As we do, we remember that our security is not ultimately in our income. It is not in our investments. It is not in our plans. It is not in our ability to foresee tomorrow. Our security is in God—the One who knows what we need, invites us to look at the sparrows, and gives us the grace to trust Him one day at a time.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I haven't filed my tax returns for a few years, and I want to make things right. I've heard about the IRS “Fresh Start” program. Should I work with a tax relief company, hire a CPA, or contact the IRS directly through my local office? My husband and I are in our mid-60s, and our business is winding down. We have roughly $900,000 to $1 million in real estate, including our home, business building, and another property, plus about $700,000 in stocks and bonds with an advisor. Is real estate considered aggressive or conservative in our overall portfolio? And at our age, how should our investments be allocated? I'm 64 and want to set up a trust to help my assets avoid probate. Should I place only titled assets, like my home, in the trust, or should investment accounts be included too? Could retitling investment accounts into a trust trigger taxes? I also owe about $115,000 on my home. One of my children would like to live there with his kids, and I'd like my grandchildren to have a home if something happens to me. Should the trust pay off the mortgage from my assets, or should I consider life insurance or mortgage protection to cover it?

What if the thing overwhelming your kids isn't screens — it's a culture of too much?In this episode, Patrick sits down with Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting, to explore why children today are exhibiting what used to be considered trauma responses, and what parents can actually do about it.We explore the five causes of childhood overwhelm, why the antidote starts with the parents — not the kids — and how defining "enoughness" for yourself is the most powerful act of social activism a parent can make.
