Ever find yourself obsessively planning out every scenario, trying to predict every outcome just to feel in control? You’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about the anxious habit I call “doing math”—the mental gymnastics we perform when anxiety convinces us that if we plan everything perfectly, we can avoid discomfort.
We explore:
• Why “doing math” feels safe—but isn’t helpful
• How to recognize when overthinking is taking the wheel
• Simple, effective tools to interrupt the anxiety loop
• What mindfulness really looks like in daily life (spoiler: it’s more doable than you think)
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in their own head. Let’s break the cycle together—one breath, one pause, one mindful moment at a time.
✨ Plus: a one-minute daily mindfulness practice you can start today.
