Sari takes you inside the truth most women never say out loud: how easy it is to hear one scary story, one diagnosis, one moment from someone else’s life… and instantly believe it could happen to you. How your brain grabs it, loops it, fears it, and builds your whole day around trying to prevent it.

This is the part no one teaches you — your body isn’t “dramatic” or “too much.” It’s just stuck in a constant state of alert, trying to protect you from things that aren’t even happening. Sari explains why this happens, why it feels so real, and why you can’t just “talk yourself out of it.”

And at the end of the episode, she guides you through a simple practice you can use anytime your mind hijacks your peace — a tool you can bring into your daily life, your car, your kitchen, your bed at night when the thoughts won’t stop.

If you’re tired of feeling like one text message, one symptom, or one story could send you into a spiral… this episode will help you exhale.
