When life feels overwhelming and your mind won’t stop racing, the instinct for many of us is to retreat and figure things out alone. What if resilience isn’t always found in solitude, but in community?

In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun explores how overthinking often thrives in isolation and how connection can be a powerful antidote. Through personal stories, insights from years of facilitating groups, and real-life transformations, she dives into how emotionally safe communities foster clarity, accountability, and confidence.

Key Takeaways

• Though being vulnerable in a group can feel more daunting than in individual one-on-one experiences, the power of being in an emotionally safe community can’t be overstated. 
• Anxiety tends to operate in overthinking loops and over-analyzing. When we’re alone, it is harder to interrupt these cycles. 
• Often, as we feel more connected and trusting in community, we simultaneously experience greater confidence, connection, and trust in ourselves.
