There’s a lot going on in the world, and yes, it’s heavy. However, some of that fear you’re carrying isn’t about the world at all. It’s about what you’ve been avoiding inside your own life. In this episode, we’re getting real about how fear feels productive, but often becomes a smokescreen that keeps you from facing your next right move.

You’ll hear me talk about:
-Why fear feels easier than responsibility

-What wine can teach us about pressure and process

-The real reason you “don’t have time”

-How to take back your power without a 10-step plan

Plus, I share grounded, bold steps you can take today—especially if you’ve been overwhelmed, scattered, or quietly spiraling.

Wine Note:
Today I’m sipping a bottle of Bulletin Shiraz from Australia —because even when the world’s chaotic, you’re allowed to slow down and savor something simple.

Listen to this episode if you’ve been:

  • Overwhelmed by the news but underwhelmed with your own progress


  • Feeling stuck, anxious, or constantly distracted


  • Craving clarity, but too afraid to slow down and hear what your intuition is actually saying


  • Ready to stop spiraling and start shifting
