[EP 123] Unlearning Overthinking: Overcoming Mental Noise


Listen Later

In many South Asian communities, overthinking is worn like a badge of honor — a sign of intelligence, preparation, and control. But what happens when the mind won’t stop looping? In this episode, we unpack the difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why logic alone can never bring peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, constantly analyzing, doubting, or worrying about the future — this is your invitation to drop into a deeper truth. Your breath is your anchor. Your body is your compass. Wisdom lives in the quiet.
