Episode 83

Are you constantly imagining the worst-case scenario? In this week’s episode of Live Brighter with Tara, we’re diving into the mental spiral known as “future tripping”—when present-day triggers lead us to create fear-based stories about what might go wrong.

I’ll open up about my personal experience with future tripping and how unresolved trauma can hijack our thoughts, drain our energy, and keep us disconnected from peace in the present moment. We’ll explore how these anxious patterns are often rooted in the brain’s attempt to protect us—and how past wounding and emotional overload feed into the cycle.

This episode offers practical strategies to bring yourself back to the now: emotional processing, somatic awareness, and the power of intentional self-care. When we learn to stop rehearsing disaster, we create space for clarity, confidence, and calm.
