Do you struggle with a half-glass-empty mindset, always expecting things to go wrong, afraid to get your hopes up, or stuck in negative self-talk?
In this episode, Alison unpacks where pessimism really comes from, why it's not a personality flaw but a protective nervous system response, and how constant "realistic thinking" can quietly steal joy, excitement, and peace. You'll learn how childhood experiences shape negative thinking, why toxic positivity doesn't work, and how to gently rebuild safety so hope no longer feels dangerous. If you're tired of living in a constant negative state, you're done with worry, overthinking, and emotional heaviness, this episode will change how you see your mindset and yourself.
