In this solo episode, Lisa goes deep on something we all wrestle with: worry. When the world feels out of control—between the headlines, politics, money stress, and everything in between—it’s easy to fall into the loop of fear and overthinking. But Lisa’s here to remind us: you might not control what’s happening around you, but you always have a choice in how you respond.

This one’s part personal story, part tough love, and a whole lot of practical wisdom.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Worry feels productive. It’s not. That hamster wheel of “what if” is just mental noise. Lisa breaks down why worry isn'tthe same as taking action—and how it’s often just our brain trying to feel safe in unsafe times.

Worry is a habit—and habits can be broken. Lisa opens up about a time when she was drowning in debt and anxiety, and how she realized that worry had become her go-to emotional addiction. She shares what it took to finally stop feeding it.

Your focus = your reality. Whether it’s your bank account, your health, or the state of the world—what you pay attention to expands. Lisa talks about reclaiming your focus and using it to build possibility instead of more fear.

A 4-step practice to shift out of worry:

1. 1. Catch the pattern: Notice when you’re looping or commiserating—and stop indulging it.

Self-parenting through discomfort. Breaking the worry cycle means feeling some things you’ve probably been avoiding. Lisa explains how to ride the wave instead of letting it run your life.

You don’t have to do it alone. If your nervous system is fried and your thoughts are running the show, it might be time to get support. Lisa shares how coaching and mentorship can shift everything—fast.

You don’t have to wait for the chaos to stop to feel peace. Choose how you want to feel now. That’s where your power is.
