In this episode, I share a recent experience that taught me a valuable lesson about catastrophizing and the unnecessary stress it brings. After facing repeated technical issues with my computer, I found myself spiraling into worst-case scenario thinking — something I’m sure many of us can relate to.

But instead of letting panic take over, I made a conscious decision to step back, reassess the situation, and focus on what really matters. 🙏 This moment of clarity allowed me to handle the problem with a new mindset, inspired by my work with positive intelligence and insights from Christina Rasmussen’s book on grief and resilience.
