Listen Later

You'll Hear:

  • Why we all spiral out of control
  • How to reign in your negative imagination
  • Quote:

    "This is a habit of mine. When faced with the unknown, I expect the worst. And I can make mountains—no, volcanoes—out of molehills. Turns out, there’s a name for this: catastrophizing. This has become my new favorite word because it means I’m not the only one who does this. It also means I am likely not crazy."
