You'd Be Happier if You Stopped Thinking About Yourself So Much

Update: 2025-08-10

Description

For years, I lived inside my head, obsessing over my appearance and how I was perceived by others. This exhausting cycle stole years from me. In this episode, we explore what it means to be consumed by your inner world, how self-consciousness becomes a self-perpetuating loop, and the surprising freedom that emerges when you begin to focus outward.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by overthinking, stuck in your own narrative, or overwhelmed by shame and self-analysis, this episode is for you.
