How to Stop Overthinking and Get Your Life Back | Mary Starks #24

What if the reason you feel stuck in your head, exhausted, and disconnected from your own life isn’t because something is wrong with you, but because overthinking has quietly taken over? Psychotherapist Mary Starks joins to explore why authenticity can feel dangerous, how old patterns and survival strategies keep us locked in our own minds, and what it actually takes to feel like yourself again. From the pull of validation and performance to the quiet cost of comparison, this conversation looks at ego, identity, and the need to be seen without abandoning who we are. If you’ve been longing for clarity, self-trust, and a way back to a life that feels present instead of overthought, this episode offers insight and practical guidance to start reconnecting, gently, honestly, and at your own pace.
