Every little flutter, skipped beat, or quickened pulse – I used to think it was a warning sign, a red flag that something was seriously wrong with my heart. I'd check my pulse constantly, convinced that if I didn’t monitor it, something terrible would happen.

But the more I checked, the worse the fear got. Each time my heart raced, my brain sounded the alarm: See? Something is wrong! And just like that, I was trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break.

I tried all the usual fixes – breathing exercises, distraction techniques, endless reassurance – but nothing worked. Because I was looking in the wrong place. The issue wasn’t my heart. It was my relationship with fear itself.

The shift happened when I stopped trying to “fix” my heartbeat and started understanding why my brain had turned it into a threat in the first place. That’s what this episode is all about. If you’re stuck in the same exhausting loop, constantly checking, constantly fearing, I’ve got something that might change everything.
