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.
