What if the energy you spend worrying could be fueling your joy instead?

In this episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun?!, we dive into the sneaky ways worry robs us of presence, possibility, and peace—and how to shift from fear to faith in both thought and action.

If your mind ever spirals into worst-case scenarios (🙋🏼‍♀️ we see you), this conversation is a reminder:
✨ Worrying is not preparation—it’s just draining.
✨ Most of our fears? They never even happen.
✨ And the truth is… the universe always has your back.

Together, we explore:
 🌟 Why awareness of your thoughts is everything
 🌟 How to reprogram for best-case scenarios
 🌟 The futility of fear loops—and how to interrupt them in real time
 🌟 How better questions = better energy = better outcomes
 🌟 Why visualizing joy and practicing gratitude isn’t fluff—it’s strategy
 🌟 How to create a supportive environment that lifts you into possibility

And of course… we get real about the stories we tell ourselves, the mind traps we fall into, and how to turn worry into wonder.

Because worrying is a habit.
And so is fun. Choose wisely.

HIGHLIGHTS:
00:00 The Waste of Worrying
02:40 Shifting Focus from Fear to Faith
