You know that feeling, your palms are sweaty, you breathe a little heavier or uneven. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts race. You already “know” how the situation is going to end — and it’s not good.

In this episode, Sari shares a simple, four-step awareness tool she uses daily — with herself, her family, and her clients — to interrupt those moments before they turn into spirals, shutdowns, or even self-blame.

This isn’t about positive thinking or talking yourself out of your feelings.
It’s about learning how to notice what’s happening in your body, understand what triggered it, question the story your mind is telling, and bring in a wiser version of yourself to shift the outcome, so that you can reclaim your power back!

If you’ve ever reacted before thinking…
Assumed the worst before asking for help…
Or replayed the same situation over and over in your head…

This episode will give you a way to slow it all down — and choose something different.

By the end, you’ll understand why fear narrows your perspective, how assumptions quietly run your life, and how to use awareness to break the cycle in real time.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why awareness is a muscle — and how to build it without doing it “perfectly”
  • How to recognize discomfort in your body before your thoughts take over
  • The difference between what actually happened and the story you’re telling about it
  • Why fear always assumes an outcome — and how to challenge it
  • How ruminating thoughts follow the same pattern as external triggers
  • A simple way to bring in a calmer, wiser version of yourself when you’re activated
  • How to use this tool with anxiety, conflict, overthinking, or emotional shutdown

🧠 Try This After Listening

The next time you feel your body contract, pause and ask:

  1. What am I feeling in my body right now?
  2. What just triggered this?
  3. What story am I assuming is true?
  4. What would the wisest version of me say about this?

Even noticing the first step is enough to start changing the pattern.

You didn’t get here by accident.
And the fact that you’re learning to pause instead of react means something is already shifting.
