Description

Ever feel like your brain is running a marathon with no finish line? You replay conversations, analyze every decision, and convince yourself that this mental spinning is productive. But what if I told you it’s not?

In this episode, we’re exposing the truth about overthinking — it’s not problem-solving. It’s a survival response. A sneaky form of emotional avoidance dressed up as analysis.


We’ll dive into:

  • Why overthinking is actually under-feeling — and how your body holds the key to real healing.

  • The neuroscience of emotional loops — understanding why your brain won’t let go.

  • The childhood connection — how unhealed wounds keep you stuck in survival mode.

  • Practical tools to disrupt the cycle — because clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder; it comes from feeling deeper.


If you’re exhausted from the constant noise in your head and crave emotional freedom, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start healing.
