Why You Worry So Much (and How to Stop Letting It Run the Show)

This week, we’re talking about worrying — the kind that keeps you up at night, spirals into “what if” scenarios that will probably never happen, and convinces you that preparing for every disaster is somehow productive. Spoiler: it’s not.In this episode, we unpack why our brains love to create worst-case stories and how that constant mental rehearsal steals our peace, drains our energy, and makes us live our worst days twice. Megan walks you through the different “flavors” of worry we fall into, the mental and physical costs of living in that stress loop, and the simple mindset shifts that can help you find calm again.Because worrying doesn’t prevent pain — it just blocks joy. And once you learn to catch those thoughts, do your quick “control audit,” and flip your “what if” to the positive, you start living in the real world again — the one where you’re safe, capable, and free to enjoy your life as it’s happening.Follow me on Instagram: @meganelisalawtherSend me an email: [email protected]
