How to Quiet the Worry–No More 3AM Doom Spirals

Worry doesn’t prepare you for the future. It steals joy from the present. In this episode, Sheila shares three practical ways to quiet 3 a.m. spirals: personify your inner voices so you can choose which one to listen to, build a simple practice of faith or prayer to restore trust, and play both sides of the what-if game to balance fear with possibility. You’ll leave with tools to manage worry, not be managed by it. Perfect for anyone who lies awake thinking through worst-case scenarios and wants a calmer, kinder brain.
