#39 | Memory Loss and Panic: Inner Work for Overwhelmed HSPs Facing Fear of Decline

What if a moment of forgetting wasn't the beginning of the end, but the start of deeper self-understanding?

In this powerful episode of Wiggle Room, Todd Smith guides a participant through a deeply vulnerable experience of memory loss and fear about cognitive decline. If you've ever felt alarmed by forgetfulness—whether your own or a loved one's—this conversation opens a door to a new, compassionate perspective. With the Work of Byron Katie as the foundation, you'll discover how self-inquiry can soften panic and bring clarity to overwhelming thoughts.

1. Experience how a seemingly terrifying moment—being trapped in your own car—can transform into a space of insight, curiosity, and calm.

2. Learn how the belief "It's already too late" can subtly drive fear, and how questioning it can create space for empowering alternatives.

3. Discover practical, tender ways to face aging and memory concerns with grace, including how to communicate difficult realities with loved ones.

Listen now to explore how facing fear with honesty and inquiry can turn despair into peace—and even connection.
