In this episode, Megan explores the habit of worry — how easily we fall into it, why it feels productive even when it isn’t, and how much of our lives it quietly steals from us. Sparked by a simple question on a billboard and a candid moment with her husband, Megan reflects on years of worrying — from new motherhood to everyday decisions — and the realization that worry is often optional.
Rather than aiming to never worry again, this episode focuses on learning how to crawl out of the “worry hole” faster. Megan shares practical tools, personal stories, and mindset shifts to help you recognize worry for what it is: a thought loop that feels helpful but rarely is. She also draws a clear distinction between worry and anxiety, offering guidance on how to work with each differently.
This episode is an invitation to reclaim the present moment — to stop letting worry rob you of the life you’re living right now — and to choose trust, action, or release instead.
You’ll learn:
Why worry feels productive even though it doesn’t actually help
The difference between worry (thought-based) and anxiety (body-based)
How to name your worry so it stops feeling overwhelming
The simple question that helps you turn worry into action
When to solve the problem — and when to let it go
How inaction fuels worry and action weakens it
A journaling prompt to break out of mental loops
A practical ritual for releasing worries you can’t control
How to enjoy the present without needing certainty about the future
This episode is a reminder that worry may feel automatic, but it’s a choice — and every time you choose action, trust, or release instead, you reclaim the moment you’re living right now.
From Impossible to Inevitable is now Breakthrough Mode. We're shifting out of cruise control and into Breakthrough Mode!
