How To Stop Overthinking As A Mom

Overthinking can feel like a never-ending loop, draining your energy and stealing the joy from motherhood.

 

But here’s the truth: your brain isn’t working against you—it’s wired for survival. The problem is, in modern motherhood, that survival wiring often shows up as worry, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

 

In today’s episode, I'm diving deep into why your brain overthinks, how negative thought patterns take hold, and the real symptoms that show up in your daily life—like decision fatigue, anxiety, and feeling stuck in ‘what if’ spirals.

 

Most importantly, I’m going to teach you how to talk back to your brain so that overthinking no longer runs the show. Because when you learn to quiet the mental noise, you create more peace, confidence, and joy—not just for yourself, but for your whole family. Let’s get into it!
