Episode 93: Overthinking: When Your Mind Won't Let Go

from Spilt: A Podcast with Charlene and Tonya · host Tonya and Charlene

Overthinking can feel productive — like we’re preparing, protecting, or preventing something from going wrong. But often, it does the opposite.In this episode, we talk honestly about the negative outcomes of overthinking — how it fuels anxiety, keeps us stuck, drains our emotional energy, and disconnects us from the present moment. We explore why some of us replay, analyze, and spiral, while others shut down or detach to escape the noise in our heads.This conversation is part of our Season 6 theme, Growing Through It, and invites compassion over criticism. If your mind feels busy, loud, or exhausting — you’re not broken. You’re human.Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mailto:[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ if you have comments, questions, or ideas about future episodes.
