Stop asking why

Trista Guertin
About this episode

Stop Asking Why You Think That

If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in negative thoughts, wondering “Why am I like this?”—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Trista breaks down one of the most common traps in thought work: the endless search for why.

You’ll learn why analyzing your thoughts isn’t the same as managing them—and how constantly asking “why” actually keeps you stuck in self-judgment and confusion.

Through a powerful coaching story and practical tools, you’ll discover how to:

  • Shift from analyzing your thoughts to choosing them on purpose
  • Stop trying to find the “root cause” and start creating forward momentum
  • Use awareness, emotional processing, and intentional thinking to feel better now

If you’re ready to stop overthinking your thoughts and start moving forward with clarity and confidence, this episode will show you exactly how.

Work with Me:

If this episode resonated with you, it’s time to take the next step.

Book a free one-on-one coaching session with me and experience what it’s like to finally release the story that’s keeping you stuck.

This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a powerful hour that will change how you see yourself forever.

You’ll uncover the thought that’s still hurting you and walk away seeing your life through a completely new lens.

You’ll bring one area of your life — your relationship, your job, or that feeling of being stuck — and she’ll show you exactly how to change it from the inside out.
