Sharie breaks this all down so you can finally understand why your brain loves worrying about problems and how you can stop and finally get off your Worry-Go-Round"!Your brain is programed to believe that impending doom is around every corner due to an outdated evolutionary trait that helped ancient humans survive.

If you have ever been kept awake a night as your mind conjured up fears of sickness, deaths of loved ones, financial crisis, and car wrecks, you know what I mean.
