We’ve all been there — staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m., replaying that one awkward moment on loop. But what if overthinking isn’t a personal flaw, but a predictable brain pattern?

In this episode, we dive into the surprising science behind rumination — why trying not to think about something makes it worse, why your thoughts can reshape your brain, and why some kinds of overthinking can actually boost creativity.

Discover the hidden rules that govern your inner monologue — and learn how to shift from fighting your thoughts to simply observing them.

🎙️ Listen if you’ve ever wondered:

  • Why “stop thinking about it” never works

  • How overthinking rewires your brain

  • Why your memory of the past might be distorted by your current worries

✨ It’s time to understand the loop — not escape it.
