Let’s talk about something we ALL do but should stop immediately. I’m talking about creating worst-case scenario stories in our heads that get us spiraling into unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions instead of staying with the facts.

In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about the difference between circumstances (facts) and stories (thoughts); the power of thoughts, why our brain makes up stories, the reason why the stories we tell ourselves are unhelpful, and of course how to start separating thoughts from facts.

And remember parents, the change begins with us.
