Overthinking isn't always the problem. Sometimes it's a symptom pointing to something deeper.
In this episode, Nita Kruger shares a personal story about recognizing that her overthinking wasn't caused by the situation itself, but by fear rooted in uncertainty rather than actual danger. She explores how getting curious about what's beneath our thoughts can lead to greater self-awareness, self-trust, and healing.
You'll also hear why meeting your basic needs; sleep, hydration, nutrition, rest, movement, and emotional safety, creates the foundation for a calmer nervous system and clearer thinking.

Before we start trying to solve overthinking, it's worth asking whether our most basic needs are being met. Have we slept? Are we hydrated? Have we eaten? Have we rested? Do we feel physically and emotionally safe? It's hard for a stressed nervous system to think clearly when it's still trying to meet its most basic needs.
