Ep 185: Your Brain’s Overthinking Trap—And How To Stop

Do you ever catch yourself trapped in a loop of second-guessing, replaying conversations, or overanalyzing decisions until you feel mentally exhausted? 

Overthinking isn’t just an annoying habit—it’s often a trauma response. 

Your brain learned to overthink as a way to protect you from past pain, rejection, or uncertainty. 

But instead of keeping you safe, it’s keeping you stuck—in your career, your confidence, and even your relationships.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The hidden trauma behind overthinking and why your brain developed this habit.
• How overthinking damages your relationships—and makes people feel unseen and unheard.
• A simple, science-backed strategy to break free from overthinking and start trusting yourself.
• How to regulate your nervous system so your brain learns it’s safe to take action.
• A 3-step framework to make decisions faster, stop second-guessing, and actually enjoy life.

If overthinking has been running the show, it’s time to take back control. 

This episode is your roadmap to breaking free from the mental spiral and stepping into a life of clarity, confidence, and trust.
