I was sitting in a coffee shop, sipping a latte and talking to my friend Susannah.

I'd only known her for a month, but she was so warm that I told her something I'd never told anyone.

My secret? My mind was my personal hell.

I spent my days grinding away mentally about everything. My husband's business eventually failing. My 7-year-old's behavior being abnormal. Winding up as an old bag lady digging in trashcans for food.

Susannah just said, "Oh, this is what I do."

What I almost didn't learn

I'd never heard anyone else talk about their mind tormenting them. So I believed something was uniquely wrong with mine.

Her response stopped me cold. Instantly, I no longer felt like the only person in the world whose mind was out of control.

But then she told me what she did, and my heart sank.

It was too simple for my extremely complicated brain. I actually thought, "I'm smarter than she is. It won't work for me."

The only reason I tried it was because I knew she'd ask me if I had.

What happened when I tried it

I went from grudgingly giving it a shot to gobsmacked at how well it worked.

Within 2 weeks, I spiraled 75% less. I've used the same technique for almost 2 decades, and it's still just as effective. Every damn time.

Over the last few years, I've taught hundreds of people what Susannah told me. It works the same way for smart, busy brains like ours.

How to stop overthinking

I just created an updated guide to stopping mental spirals.

It's the same thing Susannah told me over coffee. The thing I was sure wouldn't work on my extremely complicated brain.

All my best,

PS.

You can't be present with anyone else when you're spiraling mentally.

Starting June 15th, I'm running an 8-week program where you'll get all the tools and practices you need to connect authentically with the people who matter most.

Spaces are limited because I work closely with you to make sure you get the results you want.
