Worry has always felt like part of motherhood—like proof that I care deeply and want to protect my teen. But over time, I started to see how that worry wasn’t keeping anyone safe; it was just keeping me stuck in overthinking and anxiety. In this episode, I dive into what I call the Worry Mindset: the mental patterns that drive our fear of the unknown, the urge to control, and the inability to let go. If you've ever felt powerless to stop spiraling or guilty for how much you care, this conversation will help you find a new way forward—one that honors your love and brings you peace.
