Description

Do you find yourself catastrophizing before an important decision or difficult conversation? It's natural for our brains to imagine the worst-case scenario, but what if this habit is actually stopping you from reaching your potential? In this episode, we explore why your brain defaults to disaster thinking and how to rewire it to focus on success instead.

 

When facing uncertainty, it's easy for our brains to fixate on everything that could go wrong. But constantly focusing on failure doesn't prepare us for success—it keeps us stuck in survival mode. We're sharing how to shift your mindset to one that anticipates the best, so you can take confident action and move toward the outcomes you truly want.
