About this listen

In this episode of Worthy of Work, I unpack the misunderstood role of worry in relationships—and in our inner lives. For years, I believed worrying was either an act of love or a responsible way to solve problems. But worry didn’t bring solutions; it drained my energy, diminished my presence, and left me less capable of engaging with the people or situations I cared about most.

Together, we explore:

  • Why worry is a character defect, not a virtue

  • The emotional logic that used to justify worry as love

  • How chronic worrying undermines preparedness and peace

  • What to do instead—like prayer, surrender, and productive, grounded action

If you've ever believed that worrying about someone shows how much you care, this episode will offer a compassionate challenge and a better way forward.

New here? You’re in the right place if you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal?” or “What are they doing that I’m not?” I’m so glad you’re here.

Share this with a friend who’s stuck in mental loops of stress and calling it love. There’s a healthier way.
