Anxiety doesn’t just make you feel uncomfortable — it makes you question everything.

In this short, calming episode, we explore the exhausting cycle of overthinking, mental checking, and self-doubt that anxiety creates — and why trying to answer every single anxious question only keeps you stuck.

PS. Get the Break Free From Rumination Guide here.

You’ll hear:
✔️ Why anxiety feels like it demands answers
✔️ Why reassurance and certainty don’t actually help long term
✔️ A reframe for when you’re spiralling with doubt
✔️ How to gently stop mental rumination and build self-trust
✔️ A mini intro to the Break Free from Rumination guide

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to answer every thought to be safe.
You're not broken — your brain is just trying to protect you in the only way it knows how.

Making friends as an adult is hard enough — and when you add anxiety into the mix? It can feel near impossible. In this honest episode, we unpack the reality of trying to connect with others when you're dealing with overthinking, self-doubt, fear of rejection, and the awkwardness of putting yourself out there.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, struggling to meet like-minded people, or wondering if you're the only one who finds socialising this difficult — this one's for you.

We talk about social anxiety, adult friendship struggles, how to move through the discomfort, and why you’re not the problem (even if your brain is trying to convince you otherwise).

👯‍♀️ If friendship feels overwhelming, know that you're not alone — and you're not broken.

Mental compulsions are invisible, but the exhaustion they cause is very real.
In this short and supportive episode, I’m speaking to the moments when your brain won’t switch off — when the looping, scanning, checking, ruminating and mental rehearsals feel like they’ve taken over.

You’ll hear:
✔️ Why mental compulsions are so exhausting
✔️ How OCD links certainty with safety
✔️ A gentle reframe to help you step out of mental checking
✔️ How to start reducing mental compulsions SAFELY.
✔️ A calm reminder that you’re not weak — you’re just exhausted from trying to feel safe
