Failing, Falling, or Flying: The Truth About Worry

About this episode

What do you worry about the most? For many of us, it’s failure - in our careers, our relationships, or simply not being “enough.” But here’s the thing: worry doesn’t protect you, it paralyses you.

In this week’s episode of Bounce Back Better, Hilary Saxton dives deep into the hidden costs of worry - where it comes from, why it sticks around, and how it can quietly sabotage our confidence and decisions. With raw honesty and real-life reflections, Hilary unpacks how past experiences and old narratives shape the things we obsess over today.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why worry can become a self-fulfilling prophecy
✅ How to spot the “trigger stories” that feed your fears
✅ Simple mindset shifts to stop worry stealing your energy
✅ Why failure isn’t final - and sometimes it’s exactly what launches you forward

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of “what if,” this episode will show you how to break free, rewrite the story, and move from worrying about falling… to learning how to fly.

This week’s challenge: Notice the thought you worry about most often. Write it down. Then ask yourself - is this thought fuelling me or failing me? If it’s failing you, rewrite it into a new story that helps you fly.
