Description

If overthinking was an Olympic sport, Gen Z would take the gold—but all we get is anxiety and insomnia. This episode is the cool-down routine your brain's been begging for.


 


Freshman year. Private school. Family pressure. Sammy's life feels like a never-ending marathon of mental gymnastics, and he’s not alone. In this episode, we follow Sammy through the Overthinking Olympics—those 2:00 AM spiral sessions where your brain won't shut up about everything from forgotten homework to your entire self-worth. Through honest storytelling, laugh-out-loud moments, and the kind of advice that actually lands, we unpack the toll overthinking takes on young minds and how cool-down routines, breathing tricks, and honest conversations can start to bring peace.


For any teen who's tired of being tired, this is your reminder that mental skills aren't soft skills—they're survival skills. You don't have to control every thought. You just have to stop letting them control you.
