Rumination feels productive—but it’s actually confidence poison. In this episode, we unpack how endlessly rehashing conversations and analyzing every detail doesn’t make things clearer—it quietly erodes your self-trust. If you’ve ever laid awake replaying a moment 100 different ways, only to wake up just as unsure (and more exhausted), this one’s for you. You’ll learn why rumination is emotional avoidance in disguise, how it feeds anxiety and disconnection, and what to do instead—so you can stop spinning and start rebuilding trust in your own voice.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) learn practical skills to quiet your racing mind, overcome self-doubt, and actually be present in your life.
