As a mom of teens, I know how easy it is to slip into dread—whether it’s the emotional minefield of parenting, the stress of the holidays, or the quiet ache of the empty nest creeping in. In this episode, I share how I’ve learned to stop overthinking and start letting go of what I can’t control. Dread isn’t just anxiety—it’s the belief that hard things are inevitable and that we’ll be powerless when they arrive. But through mindset work, life coaching tools, and honest reflection, I’ve found a way to set boundaries, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with my purpose in motherhood. If you’ve been feeling the weight of what’s coming, this episode is for you.
