Maybe You're Not Overthinking!

trustonlystars | Jannie F.

You must be an overthinker if you landed here, but let me tell you, we could be overthinkers but not all the time. I am a poet, and mostly a creative enthusiast. This is where I decode them and no, we are not overthinking! I respect every soul that's courageous to be vulnerable. So, these are not advice, just a perspective to feelings - that you never thought of. I started this podcast to honor my mother – Deepa Fernandes, whom I lost to the pandemic. And I want this to be magical to you, and to help you befriend your feelings as well.
