If your brain feels like a nonstop talk show you never asked to host, this episode will help you finally change the channel. Most people try to outthink their overthinking, but that only fuels the noise.

Rebecca reveals what’s really happening when your mind won’t shut off and how that constant chatter quietly drains your calm, focus, and confidence. You’ll learn how to create space between you and your thoughts so you can stop reacting to every story your brain spins and start living with more calm, clarity, and control.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) stop overthinking, overcome emotional overwhelm, and actually feel better—for real.
