Are you always stuck in your head—organizing, fixing, overthinking everything to death? In this short episode, Rebecca explores why we retreat into rumination, and what it takes to come back to real presence. This one’s a somewhat vulnerable gentle wake-up call for anyone who’s tired of living in their mind instead of their life.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) learn practical skills to quiet your racing mind, overcome self-doubt, and actually be present in your life.
