485. Coaching Hotline: Managing Anxiety for Loved Ones & Staying Motivated During a Job Search

Does your brain go straight to worst-case scenarios when you think about someone you love, and make you feel like it’s your job to prevent them all? In this Coaching Hotline episode, I coach someone through intense anxiety about their child’s future and explain why believing you are responsible for everything that could happen is what’s actually creating the panic.Then I answer a question about staying motivated during a job search, and why trying to force motivation when you don’t know what you want is never going to work. If you struggle with anxiety about others or feel unmotivated when pursuing your goals, this episode will show you how to question the beliefs creating pressure and fear, and how to move forward from a place of clarity instead of self-judgment.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/485Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:How to Ask for What You WantOver five days, you’ll find out what’s keeping you from asking for what you want – and how to actually do it, even when your brain tries to stop you.
