In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina invites you to step back - quite literally - and look at your life from a wider perspective.

When things feel overwhelming, it’s rarely because everything is going wrong at once. More often, it’s because we’ve zoomed in too close. We become consumed by the problem in front of us, the bad week, the single setback, the one difficult conversation - and suddenly it feels as though everything is falling apart.

In this episode, Sabrina explores what happens when we lose perspective, why our minds are so quick to turn temporary struggles into permanent stories, and how learning to see the bigger picture can bring calm, clarity and stability - even when nothing externally has changed.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Why one difficult moment can overshadow months of progress
• How short-term thinking fuels emotional reactions and poor decisions
• The difference between reacting in the moment and responding with intention
• Why long-term thinking builds resilience, patience and emotional steadiness
• How perspective supports gratitude, forgiveness and delayed gratification

Using relatable examples and gentle insight, Sabrina shows how zooming out doesn’t minimise pain - but gives it context. It helps you remember how far you’ve come, what you’ve already survived, and why difficult seasons don’t define the whole story.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your head, overwhelmed by the present moment, or tempted to make big decisions based on temporary emotions, this episode offers a grounding reminder: your life is bigger than this chapter.
