It's The ADHD-Friendly Show | Personal Growth, Well-being and Productivity for Distractible Minds

Are You Living in Delusional Confidence or Worst-Case Thinking?


Listen Later

Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From world events to our personal lives, it feels like we’re all trying to make decisions without a map. In this episode, I’m flying unscripted and talking candidly about how I’ve been navigating uncertain times—emotionally, mentally, and practically.

I share a story about a friend stuck in doomsday thinking… and how I recognized myself in her fears. I also unpack the two common extremes we lean toward when the future feels shaky: chronic catastrophe thinking and delusional confidence. Been on both ends—neither feels great.

What if the certainty you’re clinging to is actually holding you back?

Inside this episode:

  • How our brains fake certainty to calm chaos

  • Why worst-case scenario thinking feels safer but actually makes things worse

  • The surprising power of “delusional confidence” (and why it works)

  • What I’m personally doing to ground myself through this weird season

  • How to shift from inspired chicken 🐔 energy to snow leopard 🐆 calm

This is for anyone who’s tired of trying to control the uncontrollable—and ready to focus on showing up for what actually is within reach.

📍 Let me know where you land on the spectrum: panic-mode prepper or overly-optimistic manifestor?
