156: How To STOP Overthinking Literally Everything

Y’all, this episode is going to hit you right in the feels (and the head, in the best way). Get ready for a heart-opening, thought-provoking solo chat that’s all about breaking free from the messiness of your mind and coming home to yourself.

Today, we’re diving into one of the most relatable struggles out there: negative thought spirals. As someone who’s been a chronic overthinker, worrier, and self-shamer, I’m sharing the practices and tools that have helped me reclaim my peace, one spiral at a time. This episode is packed with everything from body scans to self-compassion practices, helping you feel supported in the moments when your mind feels like it’s working against you.

We’ll explore why overthinking is just “under-feeling,” how to bring loving awareness to your inner child, and ways to interrupt those obsessive loops with simple, grounding practices. Plus, I’ll guide you through affirmations and breathwork designed to help you anchor back into your body and the present moment.

This isn’t about fixing yourself or making the negativity disappear overnight—this is about learning to hold yourself with love and compassion, even in your darkest moments. If you’ve been looking for a way to turn your pain into healing, this one’s for you.

So, take a deep breath, press play, and let’s get into it. I hope you’ll walk away from this episode with new tools, a lighter heart, and a little more self-love. If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and don’t forget to grab the free body scan meditation linked below to support you even further. You’ve got this, babe. 💛
