This episode of More Than Anxiety is for you if you're stuck in all-or-nothing thinking and the overwhelm of uncertainty.

You know that black-or-white mindset where everything's perfect or complete failure, with no room for the messy middle where you actually learn what works for you?

That's why you're stressed, feeling anxious, and stuck. In this episode, I'm diving into why our brains crave certainty and how its absence fuels your anxiety spiral.

I share a client story, "Heather," who perfectly illustrated this on a recent call with me. She felt paralyzed by uncertainty after a career change, battling guilt and the fear of not finding the "right" next step. Sound familiar?

Ready to get unstuck? This episode gives you the truth and actionable steps. Plus, I'll share two simple, affordable ways to get immediate help: my Boundaries and Balance Audit and the Unwind Your Mind audio course.

You don't have to believe everything you think. You can learn to trust yourself, feel more confident, and reclaim your time and energy.

In this episode, get the straight-up truth on how to:

  • Stop all-or-nothing thinking.
  • Manage anxiety from uncertainty.
  • Stop second-guessing and trust yourself.
  • Take action, even when you're unsure.

Conquer All-or-Nothing Thinking & Embrace Uncertainty 

Welcome back to the More Than Anxiety podcast. I'm Megan Devito, and in this episode, I'm diving into something I hear from so many of you: navigating uncertainty and finally breaking free from that all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck.

If you're a high-achieving, motivated woman who finds herself trapped in that black-or-white mindset, where everything's either perfect or a complete failure, leaving no room for the incredible messy middle, this episode is designed for you. We're going to talk about why our brains crave certainty and how the absence of it can fuel your anxiety spiral and overwhelm.

I'll share a story from a client, "Heather," who perfectly summed up this the struggle in a recent conversation she and I had. Heather found lots of uncertainty after a big career change, battling the pressure to be constantly productive and the fear of not finding the "right" next step. You'll recognize that internal dialogue, that guilt, and that paralyzing feeling of not being able to "handle the in-between."

We'll challenge the idea that "perfectionism" or "anxiety" are just who you are. They're not personality traits, ladies; they're patterns you can change! Discover why chasing the "perfect" choice often leads to indecision, and how creating simple structure can bring immense calm, even when life feels chaotic.

Ready to get unstuck and actually move forward? This episode offers the direct truth and actionable steps you need. I'll also share two simple, incredibly affordable ways you can get immediate help and guidance to stop the spin: my Boundaries and Balance Audit and the Unwind Your Mind audio course.

You don't have to believe everything you think. You can learn to trust yourself, feel more confident, and finally have more time and energy for your job, your family, and most importantly, for yourself.

In this episode, you'll get straight-up truth on how to:

  • Recognize and break free from all-or-nothing thought patterns.
  • Manage the anxiety that stems from uncertainty.
  • Stop second-guessing and find your intuition.
  • Take intentional action even when you're not 100% positive.
