In this episode, I’m joined by celebrity DJ and radio host Steve Harper for a powerful conversation about worry—and the huge role it plays in caregiving.

Even if you already know that worry isn’t helpful (I covered this way back in Episode 2!), chances are you still find yourself stuck in it. Whether it’s worrying about your partner, your kids, the world, or even how others are worrying about you—it can feel constant, and exhausting.

In our talk, Steve and I explore why we worry, what it really costs us, and how much of it is rooted in fear, guilt, and regret. We also unpack why being worried about doesn't always feel great—and what you can do instead.

I also share a simple, 3-step process you can use anytime to shift yourself out of worry and back into the present.

If you’re a caregiver who’s ever felt weighed down by “what ifs” or future fears, this episode is for you.

You learn:

• You'll learn why worry feels like you're doing something useful, but often just drains your energy.
• You'll hear how worry is often tied to guilt and regret from the past.
• You'll gain insight into how being worried about can feel disempowering to the person you're caring for.
• You'll walk away with a simple 3-step process to help you shift out of worry and refocus your thoughts.
