Postcard #3: My Inner Critic Went on This Trip Too and She Won’t Shut Up

Postcards I Never Sent

This one isn’t from a beach or a scenic overlook—it’s from the backseat of my brain.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about the mental baggage that somehow snuck into the van: the overthinking, the spiraling, and that inner critic who never shuts up. I share what it’s like to chase a dream life but still feel like you’re messing it up, how overthinking affects your body, and the quiet voice I’m learning to listen to instead.
We’ll get into:
•How your inner critic thrives on exhaustion and self-doubt
•The connection between anxiety, overthinking, and your gut health
•Why “just enjoying the moment” is sometimes the hardest thing to do
•The one daily habit that’s actually helping me turn the volume down
If your brain has ever sabotaged a perfectly good day with a spiral of “you’re not doing enough,” this one’s for you.
