In this deeply personal episode of Simply Human, Karen Lynskey, Leadership & Self Trust Coach gets vulnerable about the mental spirals we’re all facing right now in this unprecedented level of uncertainty —and shares the game-changing practices that actually work.

This isn’t another “just think positive” pep talk. This is real talk about:
– Why your catastrophe-planning brain is actually trying to protect you (but making you miserable)
– The magic of living in TODAY instead of a dozen imagined futures
– A stupidly simple paper exercise that puts your power back in your hands
– How to plan without needing to control everything (yes, it’s possible!)
– What to do when fear has you completely frozen

🎙️ If you’ve ever felt stuck in the anxiety loop, this episode is your way out. Karen’s wisdom will remind you: you’re simply human, doing your best in uncertain times—and that’s more than enough.
