It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/bigdeal-sexton -cs You've been telling yourself the same story. That you need to work harder on your marriage. That you need to read more books, take more courses, find the perfect framework. Here's the truth: the only thing between you and the relationship you want is believing you need something you don't already have. James Sexton is one of the world's most famous divorce attorneys who has represented clients in more than a thousand divorces. He's seen every way a marriage can fail and every pattern that predicts it. In this episode, he breaks down the exact signs that a relationship is ending, why disconnection happens so slowly you don't even notice, and the simple daily habits that separate couples who last from couples who don't. In this episode, you'll learn: The sound of a dying marriage: why the tone of voice that says whatever or what reveals more than any argument ever could, and how contempt kills connection faster than cheating Why babies don't cause divorce but disconnection does, and how the mental load of parenting makes couples forget that their love built the baby in the first place The menu framework: how offering your partner options instead of expecting them to read your mind creates safety, and why asking do you need space or do you need to talk right now changes everything Why men ask did you have sex with him and women ask do you love her, and what that reveals about how men and women experience betrayal completely differently The eight mile strategy: how getting ahead of your own weaknesses in a relationship disarms defensiveness, and why showing your partner your flaws is the only way they can truly love you ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: The Sound of a Marriage About to End (00:01:33) The What Huh Whatever: How Contempt Kills Connection (00:04:46) The Story Retelling Test: When Your Partner Becomes Boring (00:05:57) The Spiral of Apathy: How Disconnection Happens Slowly Then All at Once (00:07:16) The Text Message Strategy: 30 Seconds That Could Save Your Marriage (00:10:15) The Eight Billion People Problem: Why Your Partner Is Your Favorite Person (00:11:50) The Evidence Test: Cross-Examining Your Own Relationship (00:15:24) Social Media and the Performative Self: Hashtag Blessed While Negotiating Divorce (00:18:06) The Manual We Never Got: Why No One Teaches Us How to Love (00:22:38) Babies and Disconnection: The Crisis That Pulls Couples Apart (00:24:56) You Can't Pretend You Meant to Get Divorced: The Humility of Failure (00:27:29) Men and Women Get Each Other Wrong: The Defensiveness Trap (00:30:10) Creating Safe Space: Why Men Don't Tell You What You Don't Want to Hear (00:34:46) Love Is Not Permanently Gifted, It's Loaned: The Fragility of Connection (00:36:59) Cheating and Infidelity: The 70 Percent Reality (00:39:56) Did You Have Sex With Him: How Men and Women Experience Betrayal Differently (00:42:35) The Economy of Monogamy: What We Owe Each Other in a Committed Relationship (00:47:32) The Imaginary Perfect Partner: Comparing Real People to Fantasy (00:59:19) The Shaving Story: How You Ask the Question Dictates the Answer (01:03:46) The Eight Mile Strategy: Owning Your Weaknesses Before They're Used Against You (01:06:13) The Persuasion Principle: Great Advocacy Doesn't Look Like Advocacy (01:10:57) A Good Lawyer Knows the Law, A Great Lawyer Knows the Judge (01:14:27) The Menu Framework: Listening, Fixing, or Distraction (01:17:48) Does Marriage Still Work: The 70 Percent Failure Rate Question (01:19:45) Chapters in a Long Book: Reframing Divorce as Part of Your Story, Not Failure (01:26:09) The Vulnerability Invitation: Showing Your Weaknesses So You Can Feel Real Love ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

Have you ever done something you swore you wouldn't do again? Maybe you had too many drinks, ate the whole thing when you meant to have a bite, or started texting that ex you swore you wouldn't talk to again. And then instead of feeling bad for a minute and moving on, you spiral into a cycle of shame, secrecy and self-destruction.

If you've ever felt your chest tighten before your phone even finishes ringing, or braced for a reaction before you've said a single word — you already know what fight or flight feels like in a covert narcissistic relationship. It's rarely one dramatic moment. It's the accumulation: a grocery store phone call, an ordinary dinner plan, a night class — small moments that train your nervous system to expect danger from everyday life. In this episode, part one of a two-part series on fight or flight and narcissistic abuse recovery, Renee breaks down what's actually happening in your body during a fight or flight response, why hypervigilance develops after covert narcissistic abuse, and how this response can show up as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Then she walks through eight in-the-moment tools you can reach for the next time your body starts to spiral — including the Curiosity Tool, the Match & Release technique, and six additional grounding and nervous system regulation strategies for moments when you need something quieter, faster, or less visible. This episode focuses entirely on crisis management — what to do right now, in the moment. Part two will cover prevention: the daily practices that lower your baseline over time so these moments happen less often, and hit softer when they do. To revisit a previous episode that breaks down the 4 F's of the fight/flight response, check out Why Your Fight or Flight Response Turned Into Fawning If you've been listening, learning, and starting to see the patterns in your relationship — but still feel stuck in the same cycles — that's not because you're missing information. It's because this isn't something you're meant to untangle alone. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I invite you to check out my coaching program at covertnarcissism.com.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

Folketinget påbegynder i dag lovbehandlingen af erstatningen til de grønlandske kvinder i spiralsagen. En udredning slog sidste år fast, at Danmark har ansvaret for de grønlandske kvinder, der fik opsat spiraler. Udredningen tog dog ikke hensyn specifikt til Danmarks juridiske ansvar, og derfor nedsatte den grønlandske regering en ekspertgruppe, der skulle undersøge om Danmark har begået folkedrab og andre folkeretlige krænkelser. En rapport, som nu er færdig. Men nu afviser Morten E.G Brautsch, grønlandsordfører for Moderaterne, at udskyde afstemning af erstatning i Spiral-sagen til efter, at Folketinget har fået rapporten - trods kritik.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg Kelly criticizes Democratic candidates for their public associations with controversial figures like Hasan Piker. Greg highlights what he perceives as a political double standard, arguing that liberal politicians escape scrutiny for aligning with radicals while Republicans are unfairly maligned. The program transitions into a defense of Israel, critiques of the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago, and a mockery of transgender identity through the story of a Senate candidate attempting to join the WNBA.

When Boy George released an AI-generated reggae Zionist fight song last month, I was not shocked. That's only because the 1980s queer pop icon and “Karma Chameleon” singer quietly directed his ire at me (ME!) a few months earlier. How did such a legendary countercultural figure resort to… whatever this is? Today, we're telling a bizarre story of fame, crime, geopolitics, and artificial intelligence.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with leading economist Prof. Dan Ben-David. Ben-David heads the Shoresh Institution for Socioeconomic Research and is a senior faculty member in the Department of Public Policy at Tel-Aviv University. Before Israel heads to the ballot box on October 27, Ben-David is on a crusade to raise awareness of just how crucial these elections are to stave off an almost inevitable "spiral of collapse." In economics, a "spiral of collapse occurs when a country starts to collapse economically; the first to leave are the most educated, the most skilled, the people with options, which means that there's a greater burden on those who remain," explains Ben-David. Right now, due to decades of sectoral politics, Israel is headed towards such a cliff, he feels. But through careful planning and a complete overhaul of Israel's education system, the country can still bounce back. Ben-David explains how the Jewish state needs to create one unified core curriculum for all of its citizens -- and teach it well. And so this week, we ask Dan Ben-David, what matters now.

In this episode, Rocky sits down with restaurateur Olivia Constance to unpack the emotional architecture of hospitality, the boundaries of effective leadership, and the vulnerabilities of managing growth. Olivia discusses decoupling personal identity from business outcomes, reminding leaders that while the work matters deeply, they aren't curing cancer, money and businesses come and go.They dig into the mechanics of scaling a business, reframing management through a "field guide" that outlines decision-making frameworks so teams can work confidently and independently. This episode explores the need for a laser-strong vision, the value of emotional release when delegating, and the clarity required to reject convenient trends, like QR codes, in favor of authentic human connection.Episode Highlights with Timestamps:01:15 – Storytelling Through Food: Olivia's background as a literature major shapes how she uses authentic stories to build deep connections with customers.01:54 – The Holiness of Service: She views serving guests as a "holy" act of intention centered on making people feel cared for.04:04 – Authentic Voices in Dallas: The discussion highlights the need for stronger, more authentic voices in Dallas business rather than copying playbooks from other cities.05:47 – Identity Beyond Work: Drawing on her Midwest roots, Olivia stresses not letting identity be defined solely by job or professional circumstances.08:31 – Meta-Management and Empowerment: She describes herself as a "meta-manager," using a field guide to teach her team the thinking behind decisions so they can act independently.09:58 – Supporting People, Not Positions: Leadership means supporting the humans behind the roles, recognizing everyone has different "seasons" of capacity and need.10:56 – The Necessity of Clear Vision: Being "laser strong" with vision gives the team clear boundaries to be creative within.13:50 – Avoiding the Spiral of Feedback: Maintaining clarity requires quiet and solitude and too much outside feedback breeds second-guessing and confusion.15:20 – Big Boxes and Small Boxes: Rocky shares an analogy where leaders set the "big box" parameters while team members own the "small boxes" of execution.17:42 – Intentionality Over Trends: Olivia explains why she refuses QR code menus– they remove a vital opportunity for human connection, the core of her hospitality philosophy.About Our GuestOlivia Constance is a restaurateur and creative based in Texas, where she owns and operates Fount Board & Table, Little Blue Bistro, and Seegars. Her work is rooted in hospitality as devotion to beauty not separate from daily life but built into the small things inside of it. Dedicated to nourishment, gathering, and to the quiet rituals that make people feel alive. Olivia creates spaces that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Her restaurants are shaped by memory, seasonality, premium vibes, conversation, and the kind of love that is a soup simmering somewhere. Much of her life is spent moving between kitchens, farms, dining rooms, and home with her two boys, building a life centered around meaning, creativity, and the ministry of presence.Follow Olivia onInstagramFount Board and Table Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fountboardandtable/ Little Blue Bistro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littlebluedallas/ Seegars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seegarsdeli/ Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliviaconstance/ Websitehttps://www.fountboardandtable.com/https://littlebluebistro.com/ https://seegarsdeli.com/ Join Rocky, LIVE on Zoom, in conversation about leadership, humanity, and everything in between: http://rockygarza.com/confidence

Why learning something new can feel like going backward—even when you're growing Why is learning something new so hard? And why does finding yourself in a familiar struggle make it feel like all the progress you've made has somehow disappeared? Maybe the technology changed, and suddenly you feel like you have no idea what you're doing. Maybe the names and faces in your relationships have changed, but the conflict feels painfully familiar. Maybe you thought you had already learned this lesson—so why are you standing here again? In this solo episode of Don't Cut Your Own Bangs, I'm talking about the discomfort of learning, the stories we carry about what we are and are not capable of, and why real progress rarely looks like a clean staircase leading steadily upward. More often, it looks like a spiral. We meet similar fears, patterns, and challenges again—but with a little more information. A little more awareness. A little more confidence. And hopefully, a little more compassion for ourselves while we figure out what comes next. I share my own very sweaty experience of trying to solve a video-editing problem that took roughly three hours, several searches, many slow clicks, and a strong desire to abandon the entire project. But when it was finally over, something new happened. Instead of only thinking, "That took forever," I was also able to recognize: I know a lot now. That effort became evidence. And when I faced the same task only a few days later, it took a fraction of the time—not because I magically became an expert, but because I was no longer beginning from the same place. I also share a powerful moment from a therapy session in which a client recognized that although a relationship pattern felt familiar, they were not meeting it as the same person. They were able to ask clearer questions, honor what they had learned, and move forward with greater self-respect. Because sometimes growth isn't never facing the same struggle again. Sometimes growth is seeing it sooner. Understanding it more clearly. Responding more gently. And shrinking the gap between feeling uncomfortable and knowing how to care for yourself inside that discomfort. In This Episode, We Explore Why learning something new often feels awkward, slow, and emotionally uncomfortable How old stories about what you are capable of can follow you into new experiences Why "How?" and "What?" are often more helpful than shame-based "Why?" questions The difference between seeing progress as a staircase and seeing it as a spiral Three Things to Carry With You 1. Struggle Is Not a Personality Trait If the process feels slow, awkward, or uncomfortable, that does not mean you are bad at learning. It means you are asking your mind and body to move through something that's not practiced yet. The familiar patterns may feel like a smooth, freshly paved highway. The new ones may feel more like a rocky path through the woods. Both can take you somewhere. They just feel very different while you are traveling them. 2. Progress Doesn't Mean We Never Struggling Again We often imagine growth as a staircase. We learn the lesson. We move up. We never repeat the mistake. Then we move up again. Real learning is usually messier. It may bring you back to a familiar situation, but with more awareness than before. You might notice the pattern sooner. Ask a better question. Recover more quickly. Choose differently. Or simply offer yourself more kindness while you work through it. That still counts. 3. Let the Effort Become Evidence It is easy to look back on a difficult experience and focus only on how long it took, how messy it felt, or how much you wish you had done differently. But you also know more now. You have information, experience, and proof that you can carry into the next attempt. You can be a beginner and still be proud of yourself. Both things can be true. The Heart of This Episode Progress isn't about avoiding the struggle. Sometimes it's recognizing what's happening sooner and knowing how to meet yourself differently. You are not necessarily back at the beginning. The situation may feel familiar, but you are carrying information you did not have before. The Clip Moment The truth with a capital T is that learning something new feels more like a spiral than a staircase. Each time we meet a similar challenge, we may be able to make the connection sooner, see the situation more clearly, and shrink the gap between feeling discomfort and knowing what to do with it. Reflection Think about something in your life that currently feels frustratingly familiar. Then ask: What feels the same about this experience? And: What is different about the way I am meeting it now? You may be carrying more evidence of your growth than you have allowed yourself to recognize. A Gentle Practice When you notice yourself slipping into questions like: Why can't I figure this out? Why is this always happening? Why am I not better at this? Why am I back here again? Try shifting toward compassionate curiosity: How could I approach this? What do I know now? What is different this time? What if this works out? How could this information help me in the future? Am I treating myself with the kindness and respect I am hoping to receive from someone else? You do not need to force an immediate answer. The shift in the question itself can begin changing the experience. If This Episode Resonates Share it with someone who feels like they should be farther along by now. Sometimes the most helpful reminder is not that everything will suddenly become easy. It is that difficulty does not erase progress. You may not be starting over. You may simply be meeting the next turn of the spiral. My hope is that every conversation leaves you feeling a little more understood, a little less alone, and a little more curious about yourself. Come when you're ready. Stay as long as you need. Take what serves you. Leave the rest.

A tense moment hits and your brain goes straight to fight, flight, or freeze. The scary part is how fast that reflex can turn a normal disagreement into yelling, shutdowns, or patterns that feel impossible to break. We sit down with educator, psychologist, and domestic violence prevention researcher Dr. Denise Healy to talk about what actually helps families stay nonviolent, connected, and emotionally safe, especially when stress is high.We trace her path from working with women and children in shelters to “flipping the script” toward prevention and accountability, including virtual classes designed to help people change violent behavior. Then we get practical: active listening without judgment, a simple body-level reset that starts with averting your eyes, and the surprisingly powerful “what” question like “What's my next best step?” that shifts you back into problem solving. If you're parenting a teen, we also dig into homework fights, miscommunication, and why school dynamics and bullying can make a capable kid feel unsafe and fall apart.We also zoom out to the relationship habits that kids watch every day: putting down defensive “shields,” using appreciation to rebuild trust, and creating a new cycle that replaces denial with awareness and tension with problem solving. Dr. Healy shares resources at S2S DV Online plus her books Mending Broken Connections and Christopher's Anger for younger kids.Connect with Dr. HealyCheck out Streets2Schools, book her as a speaker or see her upcoming events, or connect with her on LinkedIn or Instagram.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a parent or partner, and leave a review so more families can find these anger management and domestic violence prevention tools.Welcome to Speak Out Stand Out — the show where we build confidence in our future, one voice at a time.

Scott Stirrett, founder and former CEO of Venture for Canada, a national charity that helps young Canadians launch their careers through entrepreneurial opportunities, training, and mentorship.Through his work in career development, entrepreneurship, and writing, Scott helps young professionals build the practical skills, self-compassion, and resilience they need to navigate uncertainty and turn it into an advantage.Now, Scott's journey from leaving Goldman Sachs at 22 with no backup plan to building an $80M national organisation and later writing a bestselling book demonstrates what it looks like to lead through uncertainty rather than wait for it to disappear.And while speaking openly about the personal cost of growth, including his experience with OCD, burnout, and rebuilding resilience, he's helping others create careers that are both ambitious and sustainable.Here's where to find more:Website: https://www.scottstirrett.com/ Past interviews & media: https://www.scottstirrett.com/mediaandwritingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottstirrett/ ________________________________________________Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!We're Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we're here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business.

What do you do when anxiety takes over, and you can't stop the spiral?You know the pattern. Something happens — a shift in your body, a moment of tension in your marriage, a number in your bank account — and before you've had a single conscious thought, your mind is already assigning meaning, the shame is already rising, and you're reacting from a place you didn't choose. The spiral moves faster than your intentions do. Most of us have been trying to outrun it. This episode is about something different.The gap between trigger and reaction is small. Most of us blow right past it. But that gap is where the Spirit lives — and learning to pause there is one of the most significant things you can practice. This isn't a coping strategy. It's abiding in its most raw and necessary form.This is the final episode of the Simply Remain series, and it brings everything home. We talk about the everyday spiral and the longer dormant seasons — the empty nest, the aging parent, the chapter of life that feels unrecognizable. In all of it, the invitation is the same. Remain.In This Episode • Why the spiral is not evidence that something is wrong with you — it's an invitation to abide • The pattern behind every trigger: sensation, thought, emotion, reaction • The gap between trigger and reaction and why that's where God lives • The difference between shame that drives you deeper and the Spirit that leads you gently back • The four P's: Panic, Pause, Pray, Praise — a practice for the hardest moments • What pruning actually means and why the Father works through his Word, not the trial aloneKey Takeaways • The spiral is the curriculum — your hardest moments are where abiding becomes real • Romans 8:26 — the Spirit intercedes in your weakness. That gap is not empty • Shame drives you deeper. The Spirit leads you back. You can tell them apart by where they take you • Some seasons are longer than a spiral — dormant winters where the root is still doing its work underground • The branch that holds on in winter is the branch that flourishes in springSeries NoteThis is episode four of the Simply Remain series. Start with Episode 156 for the full arc — or listen to this one wherever you are today.Keywords • How to stop anxiety spirals as a Christian woman • Abiding in Christ when life feels hard • What to do when you feel overwhelmed and anxious • Christian women perimenopause emotional health • Remaining in God during difficult seasons • John 15 abiding in the vineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

Do you think about your therapist between sessions? Check their social media? Spiral when they cancel? A licensed therapist explains why attachment to your therapist happens, why it's actually part of the process, and the exact signs that tell you when it's crossed into unhealthy territory. In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton breaks down the therapeutic relationship: the single strongest predictor of whether therapy actually works. She answers listener questions about feeling "creepy" for looking up their therapist, why therapy can feel transactional and fake, and what therapists are really noticing about you in session. Then she walks through the attachment ladder, the four stages that explain why your therapist starts to feel like the only person who truly gets you, and closes with a complete checklist of healthy vs. unhealthy therapeutic relationship signs.

We live in a moment where difficulty is quickly labeled as damage and discomfort is often treated as pathology. While trauma is real and serious, not every hard moment is trauma—and confusing the two can quietly undermine resilience, clarity, and growth. When every struggle is interpreted as injury, we lose the ability to endure, discern, and respond wisely. This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren returns to continue our Self-Brain Surgery conversation. We talk about what it actually means to take a thought captive, why anxiety spirals feel uncontrollable even when they're not, and how automatic thinking patterns quietly shape the brain. Dr. Warren also challenges common scientific blind spots that ignore meaning, responsibility, and agency in the healing process. This episode helps you separate pain from pathology, suffering from trauma, and awareness from action—so you can move from mental reactivity to intentional renewal. Guest Bio Dr. W. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon, author, and speaker known for integrating neuroscience, faith, and personal experience to help people heal from trauma and transform their lives. A survivor of profound personal loss, he has spent decades studying how thoughts shape the brain and how intentional mental practices can lead to lasting emotional and spiritual renewal. He is the author of multiple books, including The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery.

Rachel Maddow notes that Donald Trump's news cycle seems to be stuck in a loop with the same basic headlines repeating, but with each cycle Trump becomes more desperate to achieve his ends, and more reckless in his efforts as his opposition gets stronger and wiser to his schemes. Rachel Maddow explains the New York Times' reporting about Donald Trump's new Qatari plane missing some key defensive security features, and Trump's apoplexy over the idea that the Times report was bolstered by sources leaking information. Renowned First Amendment attorney Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. joins Rachel to discuss Trump's demand that the New York Times reveal its sources. Thomas Hicks, former commissioner with the Election Assistance Commission, talks with Rachel Maddow about the security of U.S. elections in the face of Donald Trump's open attacks. Rachel Maddow tells the story of Turkey, the host nation for this year's NATO summit, including a handgun and live ammunition in the parting goodie bag for NATO leaders without informing them they were carrying the weapon. Several of the leaders found ways to dispose of the gun. The White House did not respond to a query about whether Donald Trump also received a gun. Want more of Rachel?

The villa was an emotional wreck after the bottom two couples tried to unpack how and why they ended up being voted least compatible. While Zach and Kenzie looked internally as to what they may have done to irk America, their partners started pointing the finger at others. Kayda was outraged that K.C. and Titi, and Carl and Aniya were in the top 4, given their history and the fact that she and Zach have been together since “day 3.” Dylan started questioning and questioning Kenzie, assuming her exploration in the villa was the cause of their low ranking. And then there was Melanie and Sincere. Melanie now feels like she has permission to love Sincere again after America’s vote, while Sincere took things to a whole new level of love bombing, telling Melanie he wants to marry her and have children with her one day. WTF Sincere.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kayda was outraged that K.C. and Titi, and Carl and Aniya were in the top 4, given their history and the fact that she and Zach have been together since “day 3.” Dylan started questioning and questioning Kenzie, assuming her exploration in the villa was the cause of their low ranking. And then there was Melanie and Sincere. Melanie now feels like she has permission to love Sincere again after America’s vote, while Sincere took things to a whole new level of love bombing, telling Melanie he wants to marry her and have children with her one day.

Have you ever spent hours replaying a conversation in your head that didn't go well? Maybe you said something you wish you hadn't. Maybe someone made a comment you can't stop thinking about. But the more you think about it, the worse you feel — and you can't seem to stop. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. My guest is Donna Jackson Nakazawa, an award-winning science journalist and author of nine books. Her new book is Mind Drama and she has uncovered some surprising strategies that can help you stop overthinking. Some of the things we discuss are: What's actually happening in your brain when you can't stop replaying something — and what showed up on Donna's own brain scan Why "just think about it a little more" is a lie your brain tells you (and the part of your brain that's terrible at solving problems is the one running the show) Why we're all overthinking more than we used to — and the perfect storm making it worse How a single anxious thought sends a stress signal all the way down to the energy centers of your cells The MIST framework — a step-by-step way to decode the pattern behind whatever you keep replaying The "ballistic interrupter" — a neuroscience-backed trick that stops the spiral by changing one small thing about how you talk to yourself Quick physical moves that signal safety to your brain and break the loop fast The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for breaking out of an overthinking loop starting today Related Episodes 284 — Overthinking?
