Sometimes we stay in jobs, relationships, or situations long after they’ve stopped serving us — not because we don’t see the truth, but because walking away makes the loss feel real. That’s the power of sunk cost fallacy, one of the most common (and painful) psychological traps we fall into.In this video, I explain why our brains resist letting go, how the “pain of realized loss” keeps us stuck, and why that pain doesn’t actually mean what you think it does. You’ll also learn about inverse sunk cost fallacy — the belief that you’ve missed your window — and how to break out of both.If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to leave something behind or start something new, this video will help you understand what’s really happening in your mind — and how to move forward with less guilt and more clarity.

Ever been stuck in that cycle where the more you pressure yourself to start, the less you actually get done? You tell yourself to “just do it,” but your brain shuts down instead — and the guilt hits even harder.In this video, I explain why that happens, what the Yerkes–Dodson Law has to do with your motivation, and how lowering the pressure (not raising it) might actually be the key to getting things done.

Before you dig into your past, process trauma, or try advanced therapy techniques, there’s a more important question to ask:Is my brain healthy enough to feel good in the first place?In this video, I break down the 3 emotional ranges we all experience—from survival mode, to being stuck in negative emotions, to finally experiencing more positive ones. You’ll learn why so many people stay trapped in the middle range, and how sleep, nutrition, movement, and substance use can make or break your ability to feel better.This isn’t about quick fixes or motivational slogans. It’s about facing the real, physical foundation of mental health—and finally giving yourself a chance to heal.

Proud to team up with Get Joy! Their Freeze Dried Raw meals are crafted for better digestion, more energy, and happier days together because joy starts from within. Feeling trapped in rigid routines because of anxiety? You’re not alone—and you’re not “broken.” In this video, I break down why anxiety-driven planning spirals (from route-mapping the grocery store to pre-writing every social reply) quietly steal your time, energy, and self-trust—and how to get your life back.What you’ll learn

How anxiety routines (not just OCD) become mental “time thieves”

The hidden cost: why over-planning convinces you you’re incompetent

6 practical ways to loosen anxiety’s grip:

1. Care for something beyond yourself
2. Take action before you feel “ready” (graded exposure)
3. “Finish the story” behind your fear
4. Intentionally disrupt the routine (safe, small experiments)
5. Lean on universal coping tools (mindfulness, breath work, PMR, prayer/mantras)
6. Build a receipts file of times you handled it just fine
