Do you replay conversations before bed?
 Rewrite texts multiple times before sending?
 Second-guess decisions long after they’re made?

You’re not alone — and you’re not “just anxious.”

In this episode, we’re breaking down the psychology of overthinking and rumination, especially in high-functioning adults navigating careers, leadership, relationships, and big life decisions.

Overthinking isn’t insight. It’s anxiety trying to create certainty.

We’ll explore:

• Why your brain replays conversations and decisions
• The difference between thoughtful processing and rumination
• How fear of rejection, guilt, and responsibility fuel overthinking
• Why high-achieving adults overthink more
• How to regulate your nervous system instead of mentally looping

This episode also dives into how guilt and identity show up in leadership and decision-making — and why discomfort doesn’t mean you did something wrong.

If you’re tired of living in mental replays and ready to feel calmer in your choices, this one’s for you.
