Does one tiny concern—a delayed reply, strange symptom, or awkward conversation—ever send your mind straight to the worst-case scenario? Worrying too much deprives you of sleep, wastes energy, and prevents you from living in the moment.Helping us learn how to interrupt the worry spiral are Leah Sanchez, a DBT therapist, ACT practitioner, coach, and CEO of the Agos Diwa Mental Health Services Center and Dr. Joyce Maglaque, a Fellow of the Philippine Psychiatric Association, a specialist in adult and addiction psychiatry, and Chief of Clinical Operations of Agos Diwa.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.
Why Do I Rush Past My Feelings? Anxiety, Trauma Responses, and What Your Nervous System Is Trying to Tell You Do you find yourself rushing through uncomfortable feelings, talking faster when you're anxious, frantically trying to fix things, avoiding difficult emotions, or feeling like you just need to get past something as quickly as possible? There may be a reason. Sometimes what looks like rushing, perfectionism, avoidance, overreacting, shutting down, or trying to control everything around you can be an automatic survival response. Your nervous system may be responding to something happening today based on what it learned during an earlier experience. In this episode of Trauma Healing for Christian Women, Michelle Croyle, LPC, EMDR-Certified therapist, explains how slowing down and paying attention to your reactions can help you recognize what your nervous system may be trying to tell you. Why Do I Rush When I'm Anxious? When anxiety or a trigger hits, your nervous system may respond before your logical mind understands what's happening. You might notice yourself: Talking faster Moving faster Trying to fix everything Becoming unusually angry Feeling an urgent need to leave Avoiding uncomfortable feelings Becoming perfectionistic Shutting down or withdrawing Worrying about being judged Feeling like you're not good enough Instead of immediately asking, "How do I make this feeling stop?", it may help to become curious about why your system reacted in the first place. Could This Be a Trauma Response? Sometimes your reaction isn't only about what's happening now. Your nervous system may have learned a strategy during an earlier experience that helped you avoid rejection, criticism, embarrassment, abandonment, helplessness, or another painful experience. Maybe you learned to move faster. Maybe you tried to make everything perfect. Maybe you withdrew before someone could reject you. Maybe you learned to anticipate other people's reactions. Maybe you pushed uncomfortable emotions away so you wouldn't have to feel them. Those strategies may have served a purpose at one time. The problem comes when your nervous system continues using an old survival strategy in situations where the original threat no longer exists. Perfectionism Can Be About Safety Imagine someone is coming to your house and you suddenly feel frantic. You don't simply want to straighten up. You feel like you have to make everything perfect. What's underneath that urgency? What if someone sees how you really live? What if they judge you? What if they think you're a bad wife or mother? What if someone sees that you're not perfect? The intensity may be telling you something. Perfectionism isn't always about wanting things done well. Sometimes it can be connected to fear, criticism, rejection, vulnerability, or an old belief about what you need to do to be accepted. Why Do I Overreact to Small Things? If your emotional or physical reaction seems much bigger than the situation in front of you, consider whether something older may have been activated. You may notice: "This situation isn't actually dangerous, but my body feels like it is." That can be an important clue. A current experience can sometimes activate emotions, body sensations, beliefs, or survival responses connected to something that happened much earlier. Instead of criticizing yourself for your reaction, you can become curious about it. Slow Down and Notice When you notice yourself becoming frantic, tense, angry, avoidant, shut down, or unusually activated, slowing down may help you understand what's happening. If you feel safe enough to explore it on your own, you might ask: What am I feeling right now? What am I afraid will happen? What does this remind me of? When have I felt this way before? What am I telling myself right now? What do I believe I need to do to stay safe? Is that still true today? Sometimes slowing down allows you to see the connection between what you're doing now and what your nervous system learned to do years ago. Your Nervous System May Need New Information An old response doesn't have to remain your automatic response forever. Once you recognize the pattern, you may be able to give your nervous system a small experience that challenges the old expectation. Maybe you don't make the house perfect before your friend comes over. Maybe you stop studying once you know the material. Maybe you allow someone to see a little imperfection. Maybe you slow down instead of talking faster. Then you notice: I'm still okay. I wasn't rejected. Nobody attacked me. I didn't have to be perfect to be safe. Experiences like these can begin giving your brain and nervous system new information about what's safe now. When You Need Help Going Deeper Not every trauma response should be explored alone. If slowing down brings up overwhelming emotions, memories, body sensations, or experiences that are difficult to regulate, working with a qualified trauma therapist may help you explore what's underneath your reactions more safely. Trauma therapy can help you understand the connection between your current triggers and earlier experiences while developing healthier ways of responding in the present. You don't have to force yourself through something overwhelming in order to heal.

What happens when the drug that saves your life is still out of reach for thousands of people just like you?Will Cathcart is a journalist, writer, war correspondent, and producer who worked on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. He also lives with cystic fibrosis. Growing up believing his life would be cut short gave Will what he calls “Carpe Diem syndrome” - a drive that pulled him toward coups, conflict zones, and risks most people would run from. When his lungs began to fail, a groundbreaking CF modulator changed his future almost overnight. It also left him carrying survivor's guilt for the friends who never got the same chance.Now, Will is turning that second chance into action. He tells the fellas why he travelled to Bangladesh to publicly take a generic version of a CF drug priced at roughly $360,000 a year, how pharmaceutical patents can determine who gets to live, and why a medical miracle means very little when geography and money keep it out of reach.The conversation also gets into parenthood, mortality, the strange burden of receiving a future you never planned for, and Will's darkly funny novel, This Is How People Die.Have a story you want to share?

Trying to eat healthy has gotten surprisingly complicated. You pick up salmon and wonder about mercury, grab strawberries and think about pesticides, or drink from a plastic bottle and start worrying about microplastics. But not every food-safety risk deserves the same level of concern. In this episode, I break down what actually matters, what's worth paying extra for, and the simple changes that can reduce your exposure without making you afraid of everything you eat. Here's what I discuss in today's episode: Which food-safety risks actually deserve your attention—and which ones may be creating more fear than necessary How to think about organic produce, pesticides, recalls, and foodborne outbreaks without avoiding healthy foods altogether What labels like grass-fed, organic, pasture-raised, wild-caught, and farm-raised really tell you—and what they don't The hidden exposures that can come from packaged foods, plastics, cookware, and even common mistakes in your own kitchen Food safety isn't about eliminating every possible risk. It's about knowing which risks matter, understanding where small changes can make a meaningful difference, and having enough good information to separate a real concern from a scary headline.

Send us Fan MailYour brain isn't broken if you're terrified it'll happen again. After betrayal, it's common to feel like you have to stay on watch 24/7 because the last time you relaxed, you got blindsided. That fear can turn into checking, scanning, replaying, and spiraling, and it's exhausting.We dig into a truth that can feel both disappointing and relieving: worry is not protection. You can't worry someone into being faithful, you can't obsess someone into being honest, and hypervigilance doesn't control another adult's agency. What it does control is your body and your day, keeping your nervous system stuck in high alert and pulling you out of the life that's actually happening right now.We also make an important distinction between awareness and anxiety. Healing doesn't mean ignoring red flags or dropping boundaries. It means learning to separate facts from the stories fear adds, then responding to real information with clarity instead of living inside an imagined future. I share simple coaching tools like writing down the facts, doing a thought download, and asking three grounding questions when worry shows up.The biggest shift is moving from “I need to trust them completely” to “I trust myself.” You may never get a perfect guarantee, but you can build something stronger: self-trust, boundaries that protect you, and the confidence that you'll know what to do if life hits hard again.

What if your child isn't reading when you thought they would? What if they're not keeping up with the curriculum? What if you're starting to wonder whether you're actually doing enough?That's exactly where this conversation goes.Becky from Homeschooling Olympians homeschooled her five sons for more than 25 years. And one of those sons didn't learn to read until he was 10.Instead of giving up on homeschooling, Becky learned to look at education very differently.In this episode, we talk about the pressure homeschool parents feel to follow grade levels, check every box, finish every curriculum, and make sure their kids are “on track.” Becky shares how an incredibly overwhelming season — pregnancy, a child needing major surgeries, multiple grades, and too much curriculum — forced her and her husband to step back and ask a much better question:What do we actually want our kids to know by the time they graduate?That question became the foundation for their homeschool.We talk about delayed readers, reading aloud, picture books, curriculum pressure, raising five boys, homeschooling through difficult seasons, and what Becky learned after looking back at 25 years of homeschooling.And then there's the part I think every homeschool parent needs to hear: what happened to those five boys.Their paths ended up looking completely different — from history and machining to filmmaking, music, science, business, and rowing — despite the fact that Becky says there were years when they did very little curriculum.If you've ever wondered “Am I doing enough?”, “Is my child behind?”, or “What are my kids actually supposed to know?”, this conversation will give you a very different way to think about those questions.Listen to the full episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, and if it helps you rethink something in your homeschool, share it with another parent who needs to hear it.From the episode:Connect with Bekki: https://www.instagram.com/abetterwaytohomeschool/13 Teeny Tiny Truth Bombs About HomeschoolingHoney for a Child's HeartSonlight BooklistsReady to homeschool but wondering where to start?

Everyone worries. Bills. Family. Health. Work. The future. Anxiety is a normal part of being human—but when does ordinary worry become something more? Something that needs professional intervention? More specifically, when does “everyday anxiety” become Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA member expert Ben Eckstein, LCSW, therapist, anxiety specialist, and author of “Worrying Is Optional,” to explain how clinicians distinguish everyday stress from a diagnosable anxiety disorder. You'll learn why worrying isn't the same as problem-solving, why avoiding anxiety often makes it worse, and how evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy help people reclaim their lives. Listeners Will Learn The physical symptoms that commonly accompany chronic anxiety Why avoidance can make anxiety stronger over time The role of medications like SSRIs and benzodiazepines in treating anxiety disorders Why worry can feel productive — even though it hardly ever is Whether you've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, wonder if your anxiety has crossed the line from normal to clinical, or want to better understand someone you care about, this conversation offers practical insights, expert guidance, and hope. We would like to thank Otsuka for providing educational support for this episode. Our guest, Ben Eckstein, LCSW, is the owner and director of Bull City Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He's a therapist specializing in the treatment of OCD, Anxiety, and OC-Related Disorders. In addition to his clinical work, Ben is a trainer, speaker, and author of the book, “Worrying is Optional.” Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

I want to close this week on something that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. A pair of bald eagles I've been following for years at White Rock Lake just raised three eaglets, and watching them this week reminded me of something we all need to hear. If you are truly exceptional at something, you will not have to beg for attention. People will stop what they are doing and watch. But the real lesson I took from those birds has nothing to do with the crowd below them. It has everything to do with the fact that the eagles never once looked down. Key Takeaways Exceptional people attract attention naturally. You do not have to chase recognition when you commit to being truly great at something. Eagles do not think about their audience. The moment you stop performing for others and start executing for yourself is when real growth begins. Worrying about what people think pulls you out of the zone you need to be in. That distraction is costing you more than you realize. Leaders do not wait for consensus. They make the move, set the direction, and let others follow. You need to dictate your own terms. Stop letting outside pressure, opinions, or the flow of the crowd decide what you do and when you do it. Action Steps Identify one craft or skill you want to be apex-level great at and cut the distractions pulling you toward being average at many things instead. Catch yourself the next time you spiral into worrying about others' perception of you. Redirect that mental energy back to your own goal and execution. Make one decision this week purely on your own terms, not because someone pressured you or because it is what everyone else is doing. Notable Quote We're both gonna have that in common. We're both focused on me. That's how you have to treat your life.

Episode 3478: Erin Lanahan reflects on how years of seeking acceptance through external achievements ultimately revealed that genuine approval must come from within. Drawing on her experiences with yoga, meditation, vulnerability, and self-awareness, she shows how sharing authentically, without attachment to others' reactions, can transform relationships, deepen self-acceptance, and create lasting inner peace. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/sharing-yourself-without-worrying-about-being-accepted/ Quotes to ponder: “Acceptance comes as a result of sharing what's in our hearts, regardless of the outcome.” “Awakening begins with seeing.” “I am not inviting you to fix or change yourself. I simply invite you to turn on the flashlight within and see what happens.” Episode references: Oneness University: https://www.ekam.org/ TED Talk: The Power of Vulnerability by Brené Brown: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability Learn more about your ad choices.

Failure isn't the opposite of success—it's often the path to it. In this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell reflects on the lessons he's learned from interviewing world-class athletes, entrepreneurs, authors, and leaders who have all developed a healthier relationship with failure. Drawing on conversations with guests like Paul Pierce, Bernard Hopkins, Trey Gowdy, Donald Miller, and others, Travis shares why reframing failure as feedback can unlock resilience, better decision-making, and long-term success in business and life. On this episode we talk about: Why successful people view failure as valuable data rather than a final verdict How fear of embarrassment keeps people from pursuing meaningful opportunities Lessons from elite performers including Paul Pierce, Bernard Hopkins, and Trey Gowdy Why entrepreneurs with previous failures often outperform first-time founders Practical ways to make better decisions, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward Top 3 Takeaways Failure is feedback, not identity. The most successful people separate failing at something from being a failure, allowing them to learn, adapt, and improve. Fear of embarrassment is often more limiting than fear of failure. Worrying about what others think can prevent you from taking the very actions that lead to growth and fulfillment. Experience compounds through setbacks. Every failure provides lessons that improve judgment, resilience, and decision-making, making future success more likely. Notable Quotes "Failure is just information. It's feedback. It's data." "You either win or you learn—there is no losing." "Don't allow the fear of failure or the fear of embarrassment to dictate your life."
