#142: How to Interrupt the Everyday Worry Spiral in Just Two Minutes


Listen Later

Ever found yourself spiralling — replaying conversations at 2am, feeling the guilt after snapping at your kids, or feeling overwhelmed with your breath stuck in your chest? You’re not alone, and you can stop the loop in just two minutes.

This week, I share a very real story about dropping my son off at university in Barcelona… only to come home to visa issues and a leak through my kitchen ceiling. Suddenly, I was caught in the spiral too.

Inside this episode, I talk about:

  • Why spirals feel endless (and why they’re so draining)
  • The brain science of how one thought snowballs into many
  • How your breathing patterns can either fuel the spiral or stop it in its tracks I 
  • A simple, science-backed breath tool to reset in under two minutes
