In this episode, Lauri Stern shares practical, grounded strategies for managing worry in a world that often feels overstimulating and uncertain. Through a blend of mindfulness, meditation, and intentional boundary-setting, Lauri explores how anxiety can show up in both the mind and body—and what we can do to interrupt the spiral.

She introduces her unique concept of Chaos Meditation, a powerful practice designed to help listeners face their worries head-on, contain them, and create more spaciousness in their nervous system. Rather than pretending stress isn’t there, this episode offers a compassionate and actionable approach to working with it.

Listeners will also learn why setting boundaries isn’t just about protecting your time—it’s a vital tool for supporting mental and emotional well-being. From limiting exposure to negativity to recognizing the physical signs of stress before they escalate, this conversation offers simple but meaningful ways to reclaim peace and cultivate more joy.
