What if the thing you’re stressing about never even happens?
In this powerful and personal episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley, Darian, and Jennifer dive deep into the topic of anxiety, control, and learning to let go of what we can't change. From road rage and health scares to unexpected life detours, the ladies keep it real as they share heartfelt stories and practical strategies for managing stress and staying grounded.
They remind us that 80% of what we worry about never even happens, and instead of spiraling into fear, we can choose to breathe, pause, and focus on what is within our control. With humor and honesty, they talk about flipping worry into prayer, shutting out the noise, and channeling energy into positive action. Whether it’s journaling, deep breathing, or leaning on loved ones, this episode is full of relatable advice and gritty inspiration.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the “what-ifs,” this one’s for you.
