11. Why Worrying Is A Waste Of Your Time And What To Do Instead
How much time have you lost spiraling over things that haven’t even happened?
Worry feels like it’s helping, but the truth is, it’s just keeping you stuck in survival mode.
In this episode of Unapologetically Wild, we’re calling out worry for what it really is:
🛑 An illusion of control.
🛑 A pattern that robs you of peace.
🛑 A habit that paralyzes instead of prepares.
I’ll share a personal story that brought this home for me (yep, it involves camping, my bank account, and a tattoo on my ribs), plus I’ll walk you through powerful microshifts you can use the next time your brain starts spinning.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why worry feels productive, but actually burns you out
The sneaky way worry convinces you you’re “being responsible”
A powerful mindset shift I learned from my parents (that changed my life)
The difference between preparation and mental chaos
A simple tool to interrupt the worry spiral and ground your energy
How to identify what worry is really trying to tell you
What to do when you can’t control the outcome—and how to reclaim your power anyway
My favorite microshifts to shift from fear to action
📝 This episode is for you if…
You constantly feel anxious about things that might happen
You overthink, overanalyze, and spiral in “what ifs”
You’re mentally exhausted and just want some damn peace
You’re ready to stop letting fear run the show
💡 This Week’s Challenge: The Worry Journal
I’ll guide you through a super simple practice to track your worry, interrupt the loop, and create space for aligned action (or presence) instead.
Because your energy is sacred.
And your future self doesn’t have time for this loop.
