E192 | Stuck in Worry? This One Mental Pivot Helped Me Reclaim My Power
Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to get stuck in fear, focusing on what’s going wrong or what we don’t want. It happened recently when something scary happened with my son at school, and again while planning our upcoming event. But instead of spiralling, I tried something different… a simple shift that completely changed how I felt and what I did next. In this episode, I’m sharing what that shift was, and how you can use it when your thoughts start pulling you in the wrong direction.

A symbol of joy, focus, community, and creative freedom. 🍍 In this episode, I’m sharing the surprising story behind the pineapple and how one small decision turned into something meaningful that continues to guide me today.
