Ever find yourself obsessively planning out every scenario, trying to predict every outcome just to feel in control? You’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about the anxious habit I call “doing math”—the mental gymnastics we perform when anxiety convinces us that if we plan everything perfectly, we can avoid discomfort.

We explore:

• Why “doing math” feels safe—but isn’t helpful

• How to recognize when overthinking is taking the wheel

• Simple, effective tools to interrupt the anxiety loop

• What mindfulness really looks like in daily life (spoiler: it’s more doable than you think)

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in their own head. Let’s break the cycle together—one breath, one pause, one mindful moment at a time.

✨ Plus: a one-minute daily mindfulness practice you can start today.
