in this episode, i explore why your mind never seems to switch off and how overthinking is often not a flaw but a survival strategy shaped by stress, pressure and early conditioning. we unpack how hustle culture, fear and unresolved emotion wire the nervous system into constant alert, why trying to “think your way out” only deepens the loop and how real change begins when you shift from control to regulation. drawing from neuroscience, psychology, ancient wisdom and my own experience of burnout and self-betrayal, this episode invites you to understand the deeper intelligence beneath your thoughts, reconnect with the intelligence of your body and learn how the peace, clarity and creativity you’re seeking emerges from safety.

calm isn’t the absence of thought, it’s a new relationship with it
