Hey HomeGirls

If you're a Christian mom who can't stop worrying about your kids, you're not alone. Whether you're worried about their choices, friendships, health, faith, safety, or future, it can be incredibly difficult to trust God with the people you love most. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about how to stop worrying about your children and learn to trust God with them. As moms, our worry often comes from a very real place of love. We care deeply about our children, so it can feel almost impossible to let go of the fear of what might happen to them. But God never asked you to control your children's future. He has called you to faithfully love, guide, teach, pray for, and point them toward Him—while trusting Him with what only He can do. Today, I share three biblical reminders to help you when worry about your kids begins taking over: 1. Your job is faithfulness, not control. You can be a faithful mom without being responsible for every outcome in your child's life. Learn to recognize the difference between godly responsibility and trying to control what only God can control. 2. Prayer accomplishes what worry never can. Instead of replaying worst-case scenarios and carrying constant fear, you can bring your concerns about your children directly to God. Prayer gives your worries somewhere to go and reminds you that you are not parenting alone. 3. God loves your children even more than you do. This may be one of the most comforting truths a mother can remember. God created your children, knows their future, and is able to care for them in ways you never could. If you've been struggling with mom anxiety, fear about your child's future, worrying about your children, or learning how to trust God with your kids, this episode will encourage you to release what you cannot control and place your children back into the hands of the One who loves them perfectly. In This Episode Why moms worry so much about their children The connection between worry, love, responsibility, and control How to recognize when concern has turned into anxiety and fear Why being a faithful mom doesn't mean controlling the outcome How prayer can replace worry Why God can be trusted with your children Encouragement for moms worried about their child's future How to surrender your children's lives to God A simple practice for turning worry into prayer Biblical encouragement for Christian moms who are afraid A Reminder for the Mom Who Is Worried You don't have to stop loving your children in order to stop carrying their future. You can faithfully parent them while trusting God with them. You can pray when you don't know what to do. You can release what you cannot control. And you can remember that the God who loves you is also faithfully holding the children you love most.

There is a whole lot of worrying, waiting and wondering going on. After taking something he rarely takes—a real vacation—Stan Hustad returned to Inconvenient Ideas with five days away from television, computers and the daily digital noise. The occasion was a significant wedding anniversary, celebrated with his wife, Karen, along the North Carolina coast. It also came after a difficult season marked by loss, uncertainty and reminders that life can change very quickly. Perhaps that is why a few days away produced something more valuable than rest: perspective. Stan returned not pretending that the world had suddenly become easier, but recognizing that, despite difficulties, obstacles and a few genuinely frightening possibilities, he was still living in what he calls a POA—a Place of Opportunity. And then he turned the television and computer back on. Welcome back to the world of worrying. Worrying, Waiting, Wondering—and Wishing Stan noticed four activities consuming an extraordinary amount of human energy: Worrying. Waiting. Wondering. Wishing. People worry about their jobs. They wait to see what happens next. They wonder what artificial intelligence will do to their profession. And they wish somebody—or something—would make the uncertainty go away. But wishing is not a business strategy. Worrying is not a career plan. And waiting for the world to become predictable may require a very long wait. The more useful question is: What can you create? That question becomes especially important when so many people feel they are reacting to life rather than creating it. Certainly, much of life is outside anyone's control. But there remains an enormous difference between admitting that reality and surrendering one's ability to act. That distinction may become one of the essential survival skills of the AI age. What Is Real? Artificial intelligence introduces another inconvenient question: What is real? Stan has encountered videos, music, images and performances that seemed completely authentic—until closer examination raised another possibility. Perhaps they weren't. AI is rapidly moving toward a point where ordinary viewers and listeners may have difficulty determining whether something was created by a human being, a machine, or some collaboration between the two. Stan describes the strange sensation perfectly: Sometimes something can seem too fake to be real—and too real to be fake. That changes the questions we may have to ask. Instead of simply asking, "Is it real?" perhaps increasingly we will also ask: Is it true? Is it good? Is it useful? Is it helpful? Is it beautiful? Does it make life better—or worse? That is an inconvenient idea indeed. Even the new Inconvenient Ideas studio provides a playful example. The glowing neon-style sign, the broadcast environment and the visual presentation can now be created with AI assistance. Is the neon sign "real"? Well, you're looking at it. And perhaps the more useful question is whether it helps Stan communicate an idea worth hearing. Become an Author of Ideas Stan also makes a personal confession. He has spent nearly half a century as a broadcaster and communicator. He talks. He teaches. He coaches. He interviews. And perhaps most importantly, he continually comes up with ideas. But traditional writing has never necessarily been his greatest strength. AI has helped him recognize a different possibility: Maybe he is not primarily an author who writes. Maybe he is an Author of Ideas. That changes the relationship with artificial intelligence. The human being supplies experience, judgment, imagination, conviction, stories and ideas. AI can help organize, edit, develop and distribute them. In that arrangement, AI does not necessarily replace the human creator. It can multiply the creator. And that may be one of the great opportunities of this technological revolution. But Beware of Trojan Horses Every gift is not necessarily good for you. The ancient Trojans learned that lesson the hard way. Artificial intelligence may become one of the greatest productivity tools ever created. It may also eliminate jobs, disrupt professions, destroy established business models and make some previously valuable skills considerably less valuable. Both realities can be true. The appropriate response, therefore, is neither blind enthusiasm nor paralyzing fear. It is preparation. Create Your Own Personal Economy Here Stan reaches the central challenge of the program. In an increasingly unpredictable economy, people should learn how to create their own personal economy. That does not mean everyone must quit a job tomorrow morning and launch a company by lunchtime. It means learning to think entrepreneurially. Can you recognize an opportunity? Can you solve a problem? Can you create something useful? Can you communicate its value? Can you develop relationships? Can you serve customers? Can you adapt when technology changes the rules? And can you create another source of usefulness and income when an old one disappears? Those questions are becoming important whether someone is 22, 42, 62—or 82. Everyone Is Also Becoming a Broadcaster There is another skill Stan believes people increasingly need. They need to learn how to communicate through modern media. You may never have a radio program. You may never call yourself a podcaster. You may never dream of becoming a YouTube personality. But we live in a mass-media marketing world. At some point, most professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders and creators will need to become comfortable behind a microphone, in front of a camera, on a screen or communicating through digital media. That makes broadcasting no longer merely a profession. It is becoming a life and business skill. The Four People We May Need to Become Stan's challenge can be reduced to four roles worth developing in this new world: Become an Entrepreneur. Learn to recognize opportunities, create value and build your own personal economy. Become a Broadcaster. Learn to communicate clearly, confidently and persuasively through modern media. Become a Transformer. Develop the ability to change yourself, your work and perhaps the lives of people around you. Become an Author of Ideas. Bring distinctly human experience, imagination, wisdom and judgment to AI tools capable of helping those ideas travel farther and faster. None of this guarantees an easy future. There will still be plenty to worry about. But perhaps there will be considerably less to fear. THINGS TO REMEMBER • Worry is information, not instruction. Fear may tell you that something deserves attention. It doesn't necessarily tell you what to do. • AI is both opportunity and disruption. Refusing to acknowledge either side leaves you unprepared. • Your ideas still matter. AI can generate words, pictures and possibilities, but human experience, judgment, character and wisdom remain extraordinarily valuable. • Entrepreneurship is becoming a basic life skill. You don't necessarily need to own a company to learn how to create value. • Broadcasting is becoming a basic communication skill. The ability to speak effectively through microphones, cameras and digital media will increasingly matter. • Transformation requires action. Waiting for certainty may simply mean waiting forever. THINGS TO SHARE Ask someone you care about: "If your present job disappeared because of AI, what useful thing could you create, teach, communicate or sell?" Then ask a second question: "What could AI help you do that you could not realistically have done five years ago?" Those two questions may start a far more productive conversation than another hour of worrying about artificial intelligence. THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF Pay attention this week to the places where AI is already changing your life. Notice what it does extraordinarily well. Notice where it makes mistakes. Notice what frightens you. But especially notice where it gives you new capabilities. Instead of merely asking, "What will AI do to me?" begin asking: "What can I now do with AI that I could never do before?" That is the entrepreneur's question. THINGS TO DO Choose one idea you have been postponing. Write it down—or speak it into your phone. Use AI to help organize it. Turn it into something tangible: an article, presentation, proposal, podcast, video, course, business idea or conversation. Then put it into the world. Don't merely worry. Don't merely wait. Don't merely wonder. And don't merely wish. Create. THE INCONVENIENT CHALLENGE The AI digital world will undoubtedly produce disruption. Some careers will disappear. Others will change dramatically. New professions will emerge that hardly anyone can describe today. So the goal cannot be to make the future perfectly safe. The goal is to become the kind of person who is increasingly capable of meeting it. Stan Hustad has spent decades as an entrepreneur, broadcaster, communicator and coach. Today he is helping people learn how to become entrepreneurs, world-class broadcasters, transformational thinkers and Authors of Ideas who can work intelligently with artificial intelligence rather than merely worry about what it might do to them. If the new world has you worrying, waiting, wondering or wishing, perhaps it is time for a different conversation. Stan's invitation is simple: Learn to create your own economy. Learn to communicate your own ideas. Learn to use the new tools. Learn to become more useful. And learn to become less afraid of the future by becoming better prepared for it. Stan Hustad and What It Takes Radio are available to help. Stan@witradio.net Because in the end, the future may belong neither to the people who blindly embrace AI nor to those who desperately resist it. It may belong to the people who learn how to remain fully human while becoming remarkably good at using it. And remember: If an idea is interesting and important, there's a pretty good chance it will also be inconvenient.

In this podacst we will be talking about 6 Ways To Stop Worrying About Anything from the philosophy of Plato . Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher who, along with his teacher Socrates and his student Aristotle, built the foundation for almost all Western philosophy. So here are 6 Ways To Stop Worrying About Anything from the philosophy of Plato - 01. Act as the Charioteer of Your Soul02. Apply the "Dice" Method 03. Step out of your cave04. Look at a bigger picture05. Value Your Character06. Practice "Philosophical Preparation"We hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Plato, helps you to stop worrying. Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He represented the philosophy of ancient Greece, belonging to its Classical Period. He was born into an aristocratic and influential family in Athens, where he founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilisation. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, which asserts that the physical world is not the real world. Instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world, in the world of ideas. Plato was not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of religion and spirituality; so-called Neo-platonism deeply influenced Christian theology. Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy. Some of his most famous books are The Republic, The Symposium, The Apology of Socrates, Allegory of the Cave and The Dialogues of Plato, in which the main character is Socrates, who influenced Plato's philosophy to a great extent. His entire work has survived for more than 2,400 years and has remained very popular the entire time. Like his mentor, Plato was a practical philosopher and there are many life lessons to learn from his philosophy.

  How to Cast Your Cares on God | Stop Worrying and Live in Peace (1 Peter 5 Explained)

Are you truly satisfied, or are you just getting by with things that never last? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Psalm 63 in the KJV and shows us what it means to be a passionate believer who finds full and lasting satisfaction in the Lord Jesus Christ.You might be asking: Why should I praise God every day, not just on Sundays? What does it mean that God's lovingkindness is better than life? How do I stop worrying and start trusting God? Can anything in this world truly satisfy me?Pastor Webster walks us through these key truths from God's Word:- God's lovingkindness is better than life itself, and that truth should fuel daily praise- The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6 to stop worrying and bring everything to God in prayer with thanksgiving- Praising God in church should flow from a life of praise at home and at work- True and lasting satisfaction is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in money, pleasure, or people- Colossians 3 calls us to set our affection on things above, not on earthly thingsIf you don't yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Pastor Webster extends a warm and urgent invitation to you today. You're missing out on the only satisfaction that lasts, both here and in eternity.Like, comment, and share this devotion with someone who needs it.

If you're a parent, you probably know this feeling.No matter how old our children are, we never stop wanting to protect them. We want to guide them, encourage them, and help them avoid some of the heartache we experienced ourselves.I've been thinking about that a lot lately.As my own boys have grown into adulthood, I've realized that one of the greatest invitations of this stage of parenting isn't learning how to love them more. It's learning how to trust their journey while continuing to love them deeply.For a long time, I believed that if one of my children was struggling, it was my job to figure out how to make it better. I thought worrying meant I was being a good mom. I thought helping meant offering advice, solving problems, and trying to keep them from making mistakes or being uncomfortable.But my own healing has gently shown me something different.What if our adult children aren't ours to fix, change or even to tell them what to do?What if they're here to have their own unique human experience, learning through both their joys and their challenges on their soul journey?What if loving them doesn't mean keeping them from discomfort, but trusting that even the difficult parts of their journey have purpose too. That doesn't mean we stop caring. It doesn't mean we stop loving or even supporting in a healthy way.It simply means we begin releasing the belief that their happiness determines our own.This conversation isn't about becoming a perfect parent. I certainly haven't been one. It's about exploring another way of seeing.One that has brought so much more peace into my own heart.If you've been lying awake worrying about your adult children, wishing you could make different choices for them, or wondering how to love them without losing yourself, I hope you'll find something in this conversation that may shift how you are seeing the situation and the people in your life- and in the end you find a little peace. In This EpisodeWhy worrying can quietly become another form of trying to controlSeeing your adult children through love instead of fearHow our own discomfort often fuels our desire to fix someone else's lifeWhy acceptance becomes a path to peaceTrusting your adult children's soul journey while continuing to love them deeply with healthy detachmentReleasing the belief that someone else's happiness determines your ownReturning your attention to your own healing and spiritual awakeningA Few Questions to Sit WithWhere am I carrying responsibility that isn't mine?What fears come up when I imagine letting go of control?Can I love someone deeply without trying to change them?What might become possible if I trusted both my journey and theirs?Continue Your Soul Recovery Journey

This week I'm joined by David Rock, neuroscientist, author and founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute, and someone who has spent 28 years answering one of the most fascinating questions in science:Why do we do what we do? And how can understanding our brain change everything?We explore human behaviour, the neuroscience of threat and reward, and what it really means to work with your brain rather than against it.Dr. David Rock coined the term neuroleadership and is the Co-founder and CEO of the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI). The Institute is a 23-year-old cognitive science consultancy that has advised over 50% of the Fortune 100.  With operations in 24 countries, the institute brings neuroscientists and leadership experts together to make organisations better for humans through science.What we explore together:Why the brain is always making a threat or reward decision What the SCARF model is and why it explains almost every difficult human interactionWhy being interrupted feels physically painful and what your brain is actually doingHow insights really work in the brain and why your best ideas come when you stop tryingWhy one negative comment can override dozens of positive ones and how to rewire thatWhat sleep, glucose and rest actually do to your ability to think clearlyWhy status is one of the most powerful forces driving human behaviour and how to work with itLove, Sarah Ann

If checking your bank balance leaves you with a tight knot in your chest, or if paying the monthly bills feels like a battle you can't win, this episode is your sanctuary. Financial anxiety is not a personal failure; it is a natural response from an overwhelmed nervous system reacting to a perceived threat. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic relaxation practice.You will learn how to settle your nervous system, untangle your self-worth from a number on a screen, and quiet the mental overwhelm of money worries. Discover how to soften the physical tension of stress, find stillness between your breaths, and take back control of your peace of mind—one small, manageable step at a time. Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding Financial Anxiety as a Nervous System Response 00:41 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin 01:14 – Somatic Breathing Exercise for Panic and Stress Relief 02:17 – Releasing the Weight of Money Worries 02:41 – Finding Stillness: The Nervous System Reset 03:46 – Guided Visualisation & Positive Affirmations for Abundance 07:26 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Managing Financial Stress 08:49 – Bringing Awareness Back & Grounding 09:20 – Outro, Sharing the Sanctuary & Closing Thoughts Episode AffirmationsRepeat these words silently in your mind or softly out loud during the practice to let them settle as truth: "My bank balance is a number, it is not a measure of my worth." "I am capable of handling my finances one small step at a time." "This worry is a feeling passing through me, it is not a forecast of my future." "I release the need to solve everything about money right now in this exact moment." "I am safe in this moment, even while my finances are still being figured out." 3 Daily Caring TipsThe One-Look Rule: Avoid compulsively refreshing your banking apps, which only feeds the anxious loop. Choose one intentional moment today to check your balance, close the app, and let it be enough until tomorrow. Separate the Maths from the Meaning: A fluctuating number is just data. Notice when your anxious mind starts spinning stories around that data—such as feelings of being "behind" or "not enough." The One-Step Rule: You don't need to fix your entire financial future today. Take just one small, completed action: open one envelope, write down one expense, or send one message to quiet the overwhelm. Social Media Outro & ShareIf financial anxiety is sitting heavily on your shoulders today, please know that you are not alone. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped you breathe a little easier, please consider sharing this episode with a friend, loved one, or colleague who might be quietly carrying the exact same weight. You could be the reason someone else finds their peace today. Thank you for your continued faith and trust in my work. Don't bury your head in the sand—one small step is all it takes. Be positive, smile often, and above all, be kind.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Give your busy mind a chance to rest with this calming guided meditation for anxiety and overthinking. As you relax your body and quiet racing thoughts, you'll create space for peace, clarity, and emotional balance. Let go of worry and return to the present moment with greater ease. Love,

On this edition, Mike and Josh discuss the Brendan Sorsby drama, his being barred from the CFL and how it makes the league look in light of recent news, as well as Hamilton's return-from-the-bye clash with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday.

In this episode, Megan and Frank reflect on the mission of Philosophy on the Fringes. Why think about "fringe" topics, such as near-death experiences, aliens, and past life memories? Are these topics any weirder than what passes for respectable in mainstream academic philosophy? And most important, does taking fringe topics seriously make one a crank? To investigate some of these questions, this episode contains a guest interview with Dr. Joshua Blanchard (Oakland University). Dr. Blanchard joins the podcast to discuss the "problem of unwelcome epistemic company", the problem of finding yourself in agreement with some morally or intellectually suspect sources.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Learn what financial advisor fee structures could mean for your wealth and how to find someone who won't sell you out. What new threats are emerging for identity crime victims? Host Sean Pyles, CFP®, and news colleague Rick VanderKnyff are joined by Mona Terry, chief operating and programs officer of the Identity Theft Resource Center, to walk through the ITRC's 2026 Trends in Identity Report. They explore why more than 1 in 4 victims now face two or more simultaneous identity incidents, how device compromise differs from the scams most people think to watch for, and whether AI is already making identity crimes harder to detect and resolve. Do financial advisors have a built-in conflict of interest that could be costing you money? Sean is joined by co-host Elizabeth Ayoola and NerdWallet Wealth Partners CEO Ryan Sterling to tackle a listener's question about whether they should hire a financial advisor. They dig into how different advisor fee structures — from AUM (assets under management) percentages to flat-fee plans, hourly rates, and commissions — create different kinds of conflicts, what the fiduciary standard actually guarantees (and what it doesn't), and what red flags could signal that an advisor's priorities aren't aligned with yours.

Organic traffic is collapsing as AI answers replace clicks. Paul Andre de Vera, founder of Answer Engine Optimization and a 15-year enterprise SEO leader behind growth at Workday, Stripe, and Anaplan, explains why traffic should no longer anchor your reporting and what to track instead. The conversation covers building a metrics stack around indexation, crawlability, and impressions rather than subjective ranking visibility; executing content refreshes that restructure pages with declarative subheadings and quick-fact blocks to win in both LLMs and traditional SERPs; and applying T-shaped, search-everywhere skills across social, video, and Reddit to match how AI surfaces sources.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Northwest Bible Church - June 21 - Matthew - Alan Conner Matthew 6:25-34 Overcoming Worry Intro  WHAT IS WORRY?  One definition is that worry is a feeling of uneasiness, apprehension or distress usually about something in the future.   A. COMMAND:  DON'T WORRY (Matthew 6:25) 1. “worry” - 6 times in this paragraph.  Present imperative:  STOP WORRYING.   2. About your life, food, drink, clothes.   B. REASON #1 - WORRYING IS MINDLESS (Matthew 6:25-26). 1. Principle stated.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?   2. Example: #1 - look at the birds (Matthew 6:26).     a. Birds don't sow, reap or gather into barns.     b. Our heavenly Father feeds them.     c. Are you not worthy much more than they?  The argument is a fortiori.  C. REASON 2 - WORRYING IS WORTHLESS (Matthew 6:27).   1. Mixed metaphors.  “Add a single cubit to his life?” 2. Worry will more likely shorten your life than prolong it.   D. REASON 3 - WORRYING IS FAITHLESS (Matthew 6:28-30). 1. Example #2 - look at the lilies (Matthew 6:28-30).     a. They do not toil or spin (Matthew 6:28).     b. Solomon's clothing paled in comparison (Matthew 6:29).     c. If God clothes the “grass of the field” which ends up in the furnace, will He not much  more clothe you?   2. Worry is rooted in little faith.     Conclusion

Are you constantly thinking about your adult children, worrying about their choices, or wondering if you did enough as a parent?       What if most of that anxiety isn't serving you or them?      This week, I break down why worrying about your adult children's lives is really fear disguised as wisdom, why trying to control outcomes actually disconnects you from your kids, and what to do instead.       Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FdgDK1lGUv0 Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/570 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

Let's talk about how Trump learned to stop worrying and love inflation.…

A programming note: As mentioned in this episode, we are going to add a monthly bonus episode for paid members dedicated to TV shows. First up: Widow's Bay, which wraps up its first season June 17. We'll talk the whole first season of Apple TV's buzzy new show for an episode that should post that weekend (the 20th or 21st), depending on our own schedules! As for this week's episode: We discussed Dan Lin's plans for Netflix on the heels of his statement to the New York Times that Netflix is out of the theatrical game and then reviewed Masters of the Universe, a movie that has no reason to exist and seems to kind of resent its own existence. Weird place for a movie to be, tbh. If you have a good spot for another Fisto joke, leave it in the comments!

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to step away from your phone… even when your  mind and body is asking for a break?The texts, notifications, social media scrolling, and constant pressure to respond to that email can leave you  feeling wired, distracted, and disconnected from yourself. Your mind may say, “Just one more thing,” while your body is quietly tightening, bracing, or whispering that it needs space.And if you've been pushing through for years — caring for everyone else, managing work, family, caregiving, and the invisible weight of modern life — you are not broken. Your body may simply be responding to a world that rarely rewards you how to pause.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mary Donohue, founder and CEO of the Digital Wellness Center, whose work blends neuroscience, behavior, and technology. After living with chronic leukemia, caregiving stress, and surviving a heart attack, Mary began looking more closely at digital wellness and how constant connection affects the brain, body, and our ability to pause.Together, we talk about digital overload, micro breaks, nervous system regulation, social media anxiety, and stress-related illness. Mary shares why even a small pause can help your body settle and give you more space before you respond.In this episode, you'll learn:Why midlife women may be especially vulnerable to chronic stress How women over 50 can begin noticing the subtle body cues they've learned to overrideWhat micro breaks can offer when your mind and body feel overstimulatedHow social media anxiety can quietly shape your mood, focus, and sense of calmHow a simple 3 minute micro break can help you regulate you emotional well-being.The connection between technology and mental health in our everyday choicesHow your nervous system staying in a low-grade activation (fight or flight response) can show up without you even knowing it. IWhy giving back, connecting with others, and creating more joy can help you feel more groundedHow technology can become part of the solution when it is designed with human well-being in mindThis conversation is a gentle reminder that the pace of your life may be asking more of your body than it was ever meant to hold.You don't have to wait until you're exhausted, anxious, or completely overwhelmed to give yourself a pause. Sometimes one small moment of space is enough to help you start hearing what your body and brain have been trying to tell you all along.With love and freedom, LaurieClick here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoClick here to watch the Barbie clip referenced in this podcastFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Dr. Mary Donohue: Victoria on LinkedIn: Dr. Mary DonohueVictoria's email: drmaryedonahue@gmail.com RESOURCES MENTIONED:Digital Wellness Center: Founded by Dr. Mary Donohue, this science-backed platform helps people manage digital stress, take healthier microbreaks, and build more balanced technology habits. Message Received: A book written by Dr. Mary E.

Where Y'Eat: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love New Orleans Summer Dining

In this episode: one-more-year syndrome, worry & fear, mindfulness for financial independence, “enough” mindset, living freedom now with Pete Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache)Episode SummaryPete Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache) argues that the biggest trap on the path to financial independence isn't math, it's worry. He and Adam unpack how fear fuels “one-more-year syndrome,” why the same worry often follows people into retirement, and how perspective and mindfulness can help interrupt the brain's constant problem-finding loop. The conversation reframes freedom as something to practice now, not later, and challenges listeners to stop optimizing for worst-case scenarios at the expense of living.Guest BioPete Adeney, best known as Mr. Money Mustache, is a personal finance writer and long-time voice in the FIRE movement. After building an engineering career and saving aggressively, Pete retired before age 31 and began sharing what he was learning about spending less, investing simply, and building a life where work is optional.Resources & Books MentionedMr. Money MustacheDeep Work (Cal Newport)Guest Contact InformationMr. Money MustacheMMM Boot Camp email seriesKey TakeawaysName the real enemy: worry, it quietly turns FI into “one more year,” even when the math already works.Build “worry immunity” with perspective: notice how the mind invents problems (the HOA/mailbox example) and reality-check what's truly at stake.Use mindfulness to turn down the volume on fear stories so you can choose freedom now instead of optimizing for worst-case hypotheticals.Remember that “enough” is a practice: start living parts of the life you want today so retirement isn't a leap into the unknown.Join the Mindful FIRE Legends community at MindfulFIRE.org/join.PS: Introducing the…

Send us Fan MailThis week, we're recording from our newly named pub, The Admiral's Rest,  where conversations include kidney stones, children worrying about our mortality, and how artificial intelligence is getting dumber.We talk about the strange things kids fixate on when they're nine, the surprising number of jobs we've collected over the years, why buying used stuff feels like winning, and the growing realization that adulthood is mostly just trying to keep everyone calm while quietly Googling things yourself.Also: dog birthdays, darts, anxiety, work, aging, treasure hunting at thrift stores, and the possibility that pickled eggs may be a government experiment.Join us for another conversation about marriage 2.0, parenting, side quests, and whatever it is we're doing now instead of becoming responsible adults.Super Familiar with The Wilsons  Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us! familiarwilsons@gmail.comA Familiar Wilsons Production

Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:I've had a great many troubles in my life, most of which never happened.-Mark TwainSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the pervasive habit of mental rehearsal that many anxious individuals engage in, often unconsciously. I share insights on how we tend to fixate on potential troubles—running through endless scenarios in our minds of what could go wrong. A significant focus of our discussion centers around the pitfalls of this "rehearsing trouble" practice, which can include anticipating rejection, imagining illnesses, and preparing for losses that may never occur. This mental activity not only stirs up unnecessary distress but also physically manifests in our bodies, leading to symptoms of anxiety and panic, all triggered by thoughts of events that haven't taken place.I emphasize the need to recognize that this script of catastrophic thinking doesn't serve our well-being. Instead, it often exacerbates feelings of unease and panic over situations that remain purely theoretical in our minds. The brain, in its protective nature, believes that rehearsing these painful scenarios will keep us safe, but I challenge this notion, questioning whether this form of preparation genuinely benefits us or simply weighs us down with borrowed suffering.Throughout our conversation, I share the metaphor of "mental rehearsal of catastrophe," shedding light on how this habit can lead to what I call "nervous system fatigue." The toll it takes on our energy and peace of mind is a significant concern. I reflect on how often we miss out on the present moment in our attempts to prepare for every possible outcome—a loss that may be even more painful than any future hardship itself. While anxiety can make us feel hyper-vigilant, I encourage listeners to find a way to detach from that excessive vigilance that proves exhausting and intrusive.#AnxietyRecovery, #MentalHealth, #Mindfulness, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #BorrowedSuffering, #Presence, #Resilience, #SelfCare, #MentalWellbeing, #Catastrophizing, #InnerPeace, #OvercomingAnxiety, #NervousSystemHealing, #Grounding, #StressManagement, #EmotionalWellness, #LivingInTheNow, #PositivePsychology, #SelfTrust, #WorryPostponement, #MentalRehearsal, #AnticipatoryAnxiety, #EmotionalRegulation, #MindBodyConnection, #Vagus nerve, #CalmConscious, #StopWorrying, #PanicAttackRecovery, #InnerCalm, #AnxiousMind, #SelfCompassion, #HolisticHealing, #NervousSystemRegulation, #PeaceOfMind, #MentalClarity, #CopingSkills, #PersonalGrowth, #WellnessJourney, #HealingJourney, #MindfulLiving, #OvercomingFear, #PsychologyTips, #CognitiveReframing, #MentalStrength, #InnerStrength, #Tranquility, #HealthAnxiety, #SocialAnxiety, #SelfSoothing #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Still anxious about something that might happen next week? If your brain keeps dragging you back to the same worries over and over, telling yourself to "just stop thinking about it" isn't going to work. In fact, research shows trying to suppress thoughts makes the worry come back even harder. But there's a science-backed play that can contain your worrying to a small window of time, and it works fast. Today, I'm walking you through exactly how to run it. Some of the things I talk about are: Why your brain treats unresolved problems like threats — and keeps sounding the alarm even when there's nothing you can do The "white bear effect" and why suppressing a worry guarantees it comes back stronger How worrying can cut your productivity in half The 5-step formula for scheduling time to worry — and why it works within days, not weeks How I used this exact play to manage my own anxiety about an issue I faced just this week The difference between problem-solving and worrying — and why confusing the two keeps you stuck Three mistakes that will make this play backfire Why giving your brain permission to worry is more powerful than trying to shut it down Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 208 — Coping With Anxiety: An Anxiety Toolkit for Fast Relief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 296 — 5 Ways to Build Emotional Strength When Life Keeps Knocking You Down Connect With the Show Get a signed copy of The Mental Strength Playbook Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors MUDWTR - Get up to 43% off your entire order, plus free shipping and a free rechargeable frother when you use code STRONGER at ⁠⁠Mudwtr.com⁠⁠.
