Have you ever spiraled so hard you were convinced your world was ending? Same. This one’s about why we suffer, how our brains turn inconvenience into catastrophe, and the peace that comes when you finally accept what is instead of clinging to what you wanted.

Have you ever felt the existential dread roll in as the days get shorter, darker and colder? Same. This one’s about the seasonal spiral: fall nostalgia, missing every ex you’ve ever had, cuffing season desperation, and the black hole feeling of winter depression. From therapy drives to SAD lamps, I break down why the scaries hit so hard, and the small game-plan we can actually try this year, because like it or not, winter is coming, and we’re scared together.

Have you ever found yourself chasing or even dating someone who no one in your life (including you) can understand why you’re with? Same. This one’s about the lies we tell ourselves and the games we play when we’re with the wrong people, and how it usually backfires. Play ego games, win ego prizes. (But hey, I’m not judging)

Have you ever reached for a drink to shut your brain up - only to wake up with a week long doom cloud? Same. This one’s about anxiety x alcohol; why “two-drink me” feels like a solution, how hangxiety steamrolls your life, and the culture that tells us to celebrate, cope, and date with a glass in hand. I share some spirals of my own plus listener stories (campfire face-plant, Nashville brunch dread, drunk-texting an ex) as we look honestly at coping without turning a happy hour into a sad week.

Have you ever let fear stop you from doing something you really wanted? Same. This one’s about doing it scared, pushing through self-doubt, and calling out the lies anxiety tells about who you are.

Have you ever missed someone you know was bad for you? Same. This one’s about (regrettably) breaking no contact, romanticizing liars, and trying to move on when it feels impossible.

If the group chat leaves you on read, do you assume everyone hates you? Same. Let’s talk people-pleasing, “is everyone mad at me” spirals, and the incessant need for validation from others - aka why needing to be liked is the fastest way to lose your mind.

Have you ever booked a trip thinking it would fix everything, only to realize your anxiety packs a suitcase too? Same. This week I’m talking about trying to run away from your problems (spoiler: it doesn’t work), crying in airports, and the life sentence of a brain that never leaves you alone, no matter where you take it.

Don’t Think is your weekly overthinking support group disguised as a podcast - hosted by Carla Bezanson, known for spiraling in her car and saying what everyone else is too embarrassed to admit. In short, she’s anxiety personified. This isn’t another polished self help show. It’s brutally honest, darkly funny, and sometimes a little unhinged. From dating anxiety to mental health spirals, Don’t Think turns emotional chaos into catharsis. It’s not just relatable, it’s real. If you’ve ever texted someone a paragraph and then thrown your phone across the room, welcome home.

New episodes every Thursday!
