Is it just me, or do you also feel like the world is especially loud right now?

Between news cycles screaming for attention and social media's constant noise, it's no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed. Or even completely checked out. 

But here’s the thing…

Our attention is valuable. And where we choose to focus it shapes our experience and influences the world around us.

So, if you’re experiencing feelings of panic or a sense of urgency that won’t seem to lift, then it’s time to reclaim your agency. Identifying what you actually want to champion is how you can become bigger than the moment you find yourself in, and create more purposeful value-aligned actions.

This week, Karlee shares the skill of seeing the bigger picture when things feel chaotic to take a beat and reclaim your agency. When you dare to pause and recognize what truly requires your attention, you can respond intentionally rather than react impulsively. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how the fear we absorb from the world we live in affects our nervous system. You’ll hear a powerful alternative to panic that will help you reclaim your attention and find steadiness, rather than overreact to the noise. You’ll hear real-life examples of clients who reframed difficult situations, and learn how to focus on your integrity and take more intentional actions.

If you’re ready to redirect feelings of panic into purposeful action, then this is the episode for you.

  • (2:47) Why we need an alternative to panic
