In this episode, Todd unpacks one of life’s most familiar patterns: how the moments we fear, anticipate, or overthink often feel far heavier before they arrive. From childhood worries to adult transitions, we’ve all faced situations that seemed impossible from the outside—only to discover, once we stepped into them, that we were far more capable than we imagined. Todd shares personal stories, gentle humor, and honest reflections on why anticipation amplifies anxiety, how our minds try to protect us by preparing for the worst, and why reality is usually kinder than the version we build in our heads. Along the way, he offers simple, steady practices for easing worry and grounding ourselves when the unknown looms large. This episode is an encouraging reminder that you’ve handled hard things before… and you’ll handle the next one too. Sometimes the scariest part is just the waiting. And once it happens? You might just find yourself standing in a clearer, brighter place than you expected. Grab your beverage! It's time, for Todd Talk!
