Episode #06 - The Hidden Reason You Can’t Stop Overthinking

from Your Joyful Life Podcast · host Michael Fall and Evan Wainberg

If you struggle with overthinking or anxiety, this episode explores a powerful shift: realizing that the thoughts you’re stuck in are stories - and everyone is telling them.We talk about how stories shape your experience, why certainty can feel so convincing, and how teachers and frameworks can both guide and limit you. When you start trusting your own instincts instead of outsourcing truth, something loosens. This isn’t about rejecting wisdom or pretending nothing matters. It’s about noticing when “being right” costs you peace - and how curiosity can free you from negative thought loops.In this episode:Why overthinking feels so realHow certainty traps you inside a storyWhy teachers can guide but not define youHow curiosity loosens anxietyWhat it means to trust your own “finger”If you’ve ever asked, “How do I get out of my head?” — this conversation is for you.⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our free Substack Newsletter⁠⁠⁠Interested in diving into the Joyful Life Project experiments?
