When everything feels urgent at once, it’s easy to freeze. The inbox fills up, the to-do list grows, and even simple tasks feel hard to start.

In this episode, we talk about a simple rule for moments like that: do the next thing. Not the perfect thing. Not the whole plan. Just one small, concrete action that actually finishes something.

If you’ve been stuck lately, this episode offers a practical way to get moving again — one real step at a time.

“Don’t overreact” sounds like good advice—until you realize it doesn’t tell you what to do instead.

In this episode, we unpack why overreactions happen and how responding too fast or measuring a situation too big can throw us off.

The goal isn’t to suppress emotion, but to slow the moment down and respond in proportion.

We all experience Intrusive thoughts – strange, unwantedideas that pop into our minds and can be hard to shake. They can be frustrating or even unsettling.

This episode is a calm, practical conversation about how torespond to those thoughts without fear or self-judgment.

Instead of trying to fight your mind, we explore gentler, more effective ways to stay grounded, refocus your attention, and keep moving in the direction that matters to you.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, worried, or stuck in your own head, this episode is for you.
