Episode Revisited: How to Stop Rehearsing Worst-Case Scenarios & Start Choosing Joy | Nicole Zasowski

Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

I’m so excited to throw it back to one of my favorite and most encouraging episodes with my friend Nicole Zasowski — a Marriage & Family Therapist and the author of What If It’s Wonderful?, From Lost to Found, and Daring Joy.

In this conversation, we talk about why joy can feel so vulnerable, why our minds often jump to worst-case scenarios, and how to find the courage to fully receive the good in our lives instead of bracing for what might go wrong. So many of us feel safer preparing for disappointment than letting ourselves experience joy — but that habit quietly steals the very moments we’re longing for. Nicole shares powerful insights and practical tools to help us shift our perspective, calm our thoughts, and truly celebrate both the small and big moments that make life meaningful.
