The Quickie: What's the Worst That Can Happen? A Tool To Stop Catastrophizing And Get Unstuck


Listen Later

If an endless supply of “what ifs” are keeping you stuck in fear and inaction every time you need to make a decision or move forward, this tool could be a game-changer for you. 

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the valuable advice my career coach shared last year to help stop catastrophic thinking and get to the root of what’s actually causing you worry or paralysis. Because the answer to “what’s the worst that could happen?” usually isn’t as bad as we make it out to be, and even the worst case scenarios are almost always figureoutable.

Whether you’re stuck in business decisions, dating, networking, trip-planning or big life changes, keep digging one layer deeper until you find out what’s at the core of your worries, and if that’s something you could handle.

Tune in to hear more about:

  • How catastrophic thinking can hold us back
  • What was keeping me stuck in inaction
  • The simple tool my career coach used to change my mindset
  • Examining the root of your discomfort
  • Weighing out the worst-case scenarios
  • How this way of thinking helped me invest in real estate
