Ep. 14 - Overthinking with a Side of Anxiety and a Hearty Serving of Self-Doubt

from Your Mental Highness

If you've ever found yourself trapped in a spiral of indecision, self-doubt, or wondering whether your "thanks" text had the right level of sincerity—this episode is for you. Dr. J dives deep into why your brain loves to overthink, how it's wired to do so, and why it’s not actually helping. From perfectionists to people-pleasers, we unpack the personality types most prone to overthinking and the three major psychological roots that fuel it. You’ll also get a dose of brain science (in plain English), personal anecdotes, and—most importantly—real strategies to stop the cycle before it steals your time, energy, and sanity. Tune in and learn how to stop chewing on mental junk food and start feeding your brain something better.
