Me vs Brain by Hayley Morris

What if the voice in your head isn’t telling the truth, but just doing its job a little too loudly?In this episode, Dave and Poppy dive into Me vs Brain by Hayley Morris, a refreshingly honest and relatable look at anxiety, overthinking, and learning how to live alongside a busy mind rather than fighting it.They explore Hayley’s personal experiences with mental health and the practical tools she shares for understanding how the brain works against us at times. Dave and Poppy unpack why anxious thoughts feel so convincing, how self-talk shapes our emotional responses, and why kindness towards yourself is not weakness but strength.The conversation highlights simple, grounded strategies for managing intrusive thoughts, calming mental spirals, and creating space between who you are and what your brain throws at you. Dave and Poppy  also discuss how humour, self-awareness, and small mindset shifts can make a real difference when anxiety feels overwhelming.This episode is reassuring, human, and deeply practical. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own thoughts or stuck in your head, this is a reminder that you are not broken and you are not alone.Love what you heard?
