Summary

I’ll be honest, worrying has been one of my biggest personal growth edges. In this episode, Chris and I talk about why worrying isn’t just exhausting, it’s actively stealing your time, energy, confidence, and results. We break worry down from both angles, the logical cost of worry and the energetic impact it has on your business, your relationships, and your decision-making. Chris shares exercises to shut worry down fast, while I dive into the “woo” side of how fear-based energy leads to bad clients, misaligned decisions, and burnout. Get ready to rethink worry, reclaim your power, and start moving forward from a grounded, confident place.

0:00.0	Whenever I'm worrying, I'm like, oh, this is showing signs of how I am not in faith.
0:06.0	It reminds me to lean into faith and say, okay, God's got that.
0:11.0	As long as I provide the action and as long as I provide space to pray and ask for the answers and the strength,
0:20.0	then I'm going to get exactly what I need every single time.
0:30.5	And we're back.
0:31.5	With another episode of He Said, She Said.
0:33.2	All right, guys, we just got back from our morning dog walk that we always take.
0:36.9	And we always have good conversations. That's the beauty of taking that space, taking that hour to go a few miles, walking the dogs and having a chance to just talk to each other, not on phones, et cetera. And we get into good conversations. And the one that we got into today was about worrying. And we're kind of talking about how like, she's like, Chris, why don't you tend to worry about stuff as much? Now, don't get me wrong. I worry. But nothing to the magnitude of which Lori

1:20.2	Now, here's the thing.
1:21.5	The punchline is whether you're a natural worrier or whether you aren't, whatever your
1:26.8	predisposition is, it's something
1:29.5	that has to be addressed because the amount of time and energy that you are wasting through worry
1:37.0	is insane. So this is something that I work on all of the time because when you're worrying,
1:42.9	you're obviously not in an energy of moving
1:45.7	forward. You're not in an energy of productivity. And so for me, whenever I'm worrying, I remind
1:51.1	myself that whatever I'm worrying about is just such a symptom of me not believing that something will work out.
2:03.8	And you're always getting what you are thinking and believing is going to happen.
2:09.5	And so whenever I'm worrying, I'm like, oh, this is showing signs of how I am not in faith.
