In this episode, we’re discussing something we’ve all felt at one time or another: that uneasy sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Whether it’s the return of symptoms, a new diagnosis, or something completely unexpected, our minds often spin stories about why we need to stay on high alert—worried, vigilant, and constantly “prepared.”
We share how this pattern has played out in our own lives, unpack the roles of control, responsibility, and self-blame, and explore what helps ease the tension despite life’s inherent uncertainties. Whatever your worries, we hope this conversation brings you a fresh perspective and a little relief.
Note: We’re taking a short holiday break, so there won’t be a new episode next week. We’ll be back on January 2nd with a bit of a refresh and the first in a series of amazing new guests. Wishing you a joyful holiday — we can’t wait to see you in the new year!
