When disaster hits, panic spreads fast, but calm is contagious. In this episode, Mark and Krista talk about one of the most powerful, and overlooked, preparedness skills: your mindset.
You’ll learn how to manage stress when life gets chaotic, what to watch for when anxiety sneaks up on you, and how to recognize when others might be struggling, too. They share simple, practical tools, like breathing techniques, building routines, and limiting information overload, that help you think clearly when it matters most.
Because when the power’s out, the storm’s raging, or everything seems uncertain, your most important prep isn’t in your backpack, it’s in your head.
Resources mentioned:
Disaster Distress Helpline: 1-800-985-5990

Crisis Text Line: Text “TALK” to 741741
