Anxiety is usually caused not by external factors but by our own internal thoughts. One of the most effective ways to turn your negative thinking off is through storytelling. Jeffrey Saad talks about the third element in the Circle of Control to emphasize how to get rid of repetitive, unhealthy thoughts that lead to victim identity, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage. He also explains how connecting positive thoughts to powerful feelings can manifest the best future you really wanted to achieve. Learn how to stop stress and negativity in their tracks to pave the way to a more joyful and empowered you.

In this very special episode, prepare to uncover valuable wisdom and surprising insights from a generation redefining control and perspective. Join Jeffrey Saad as he sits down with his daughter, Isabella, and her boyfriend, Gabe—two brilliant minds in their late 20s. They dive deep into the concept of the “Circle of Control”—that crucial boundary between what you can influence and what you can’t—and explore how this philosophy transforms everything from career pivots in New York City to handling social anxieties and even navigating a family business. Hear their honest struggles, their unexpected successes, and the profound lessons they’ve learned about staying sane, fostering great relationships, and finding solace amidst the modern-day “noise.” If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by external pressures, this conversation offers a refreshing, actionable roadmap to expanding your control and shrinking your anxiety.

Being present might sound cliché, but as Jeffrey Saad reminds us, the simplest truths are often the most transformative. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now, this reflection explores how presence frees us from anxiety, sharpens focus, and deepens connection—with ourselves and others. By living fully in the moment instead of being trapped by past regrets or future worries, we reclaim energy, clarity, and peace. From handling daily stress to improving relationships and work, this episode reveals how mastering presence can quite literally give you more time and a calmer mind.
