E26: How Do You Know Something Bad Isn't Going To Happen?

Healing with Haelly

In today's episode, I share a deeply personal story about my son's frightening emergency trip to the hospital—a moment filled with uncertainty and fear. As a parent, there's nothing more terrifying than seeing your child in distress, but in the midst of all the chaos, I found a way to stay calm. This calmness not only helped me manage the situation, but also brought comfort to my son during a time when he needed it most.
I reflect on how maintaining peace in the face of the unknown can make all the difference, not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday life. To illustrate this, I draw a parallel to a powerful scene from Finding Nemo, where Marlin and Dory are swallowed by a whale. Just like Marlin, I faced the overwhelming fear of not knowing what would happen next. But by embracing the uncertainty and letting go, I found a deeper sense of faith and peace—one that I believe we can all tap into during our most challenging moments.
Join me as I explore how letting go of our need to control the uncontrollable can help us navigate life's toughest trials with grace, and questioning my thoughts with staying present helped me and my son through a moment we’ll never forget.
Here are some questions I used during the episodes that were my lifeline.
Questions to ask yourself in a scary scenario.

Questions to ask yourself if you want to change how you are feeling and/or thinking:
1. Is there a stress-free reason to keep this thought?
2. Other than what I am thinking and believing, am I ok?
3. Can I see a reason to drop this stressful thought?
4. How do I react when I think these thoughts?
