Hi, I’m Sue Wright — author of How To Get Your Shit Together. These short, punchy episodes cut through the fluff to give you real talk, practical tools, and no-BS coaching. I’ve faced serious life storms and made it out stronger — now I help you build the mental grit to do the same. Raw, honest, and a little bit sweary (because sometimes nothing else hits quite the same). www.coachsue.co.uk

In this episode, I share a personal example of slipping into my default panic mode: catastrophising. One of my dogs and both horses were very poorly, and I noticed myself spiralling through all the what-ifs, mentally trying to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
This kind of thinking is incredibly common, especially when we feel helpless. But the trick is this: awareness is everything. Recognising your panic mode—whether it’s catastrophising like me, or freezing, shutting down, or going into overdrive—is the first step to shifting out of it.
When you can pause and notice your default fear pattern, you can start to access the rational, grounded part of your brain. And that’s the only place from which you can make decisions that actually help.
🌍 I work with clients (everyday folk, just like you!) worldwide via Zoom, and all my trainings are available online — either as self-study or as part of a coaching package. So wherever you are, if you’re ready to do the work, I’m ready to support you.
