With the world feeling a little sideways (okay, a lot sideways), this week we are talking about what we actually can control - and why your focus might be the most powerful way to stay out of the weeds and keep you on track.

We are unpacking just how easy it is to get swept up in the fear, chaos, and social media spirals, and how to gently come back to your center. These days it can feel a little bit like living in a tornado with all that is being thrown at us. From the rabbit hole of “flat Earth” theories to the heaviness of world events and even wildfire trauma responses, this is a quick episode that we go deep into. While also being here to remind you that at the end of the day, YOU get to choose where your energy goes.

In this episode:

Why focusing on things you can’t change won’t help
The ripple effect of your personal energy (yes, it’s real)
How to stay present when the world feels overwhelming
Holding empathy without absorbing the chaos
The difference between informed and overexposed
Creating peace in your inner world, no matter what’s going on outside

This is one of those episodes you can return to anytime you're feeling scattered or stressed. Let’s be clear, it is not about ignoring what’s happening in the world - it’s about grounding yourself so you can respond from a clear, powerful place. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or doom scrolling at 10 p.m, this one’s your reset button.

So join us for this quick reminder that you are the one riding the bike! And the most important thing is to stay focused on the trail ahead, what is important to you and your why.
