Sunday scaries are real—but what if they don’t have to be? In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Joel Miller show you exactly how to win every Monday by doing a Weekly Preview by Sundays. You’ll learn why “the scaries” happen, how to calm your system with clarity, and the practical steps to enter every Monday confident, prepared, and focused.

Key Takeaways

Scaries are brain biology. Uncertainty spikes cortisol. Knowing what’s coming resets your body and your brain (even if you know the plan is prone to change).
Celebrating wins matters. There’s more to celebrate than you realize, and noticing your wins helps you move naturally into gratitude—which comes with real benefits.
Explore the Weekly Preview. Learn our simple process for learning from the past week and planning for the next. We break it down step-by-step.
Make it a ritual. Choose your day, add music, grab a drink, and make it “a thing.” When you follow through on your ritual, you’ll notice a difference in your weeks.
Share to stay aligned and accountable. Walk through the process with your spouse. Share your Weekly Big 3 with your team. Involving others can keep you on track.
Mind your emotional contagion. Calm, prepared energy spreads—so does panic. Choose what you bring into Monday for yourself and for others.
