For the Overthinker

For the Overthinker is a space for people whose minds don’t always know when to stop.

This isn’t a place to fix yourself, optimize your thoughts, or pretend you’re calm all the time. It’s a place to tell the truth—about the spirals, the stories we make up, and the relief that comes when we realize we were never in danger to begin with.

Here, we write things we usually only think.We sit with thoughts instead of fighting them.We learn (slowly) that not every feeling needs a solution.

If you’ve ever replayed a moment too many times, assumed the worst, or been harder on yourself than anyone else ever could be—you belong here.

Welcome!

I teach Pilates for a living.

Movement, exercise, sequencing—it’s my thing.

The other day, I was teaching a class like normal when I realized someone important was there. A higher-up from the company. Not there to evaluate me. Not there to grade me. Just… there, taking my class.

Which actually shows support and that she trusts me to take my class.

And of course, that’s when my brain decided to panic.

Mid-class, I blanked.Just for a second—but long enough for me to notice.
