Why Your Mind Never Shuts Up

Episode Overview

  • Overthinking can paralyse rather than prepare you.
  • Excessive screen-time impacts mental health negatively.
  • Pets can provide grounding and presence in daily life.
  • Finding balance between productivity and rest is crucial.
  • Intentional consumption involves more than just buying things.
Your overthinking isn't preparing you, it's paralyzing you.
What drives someone to feel constantly overwhelmed by their own thoughts? Vanessa Persephone opens up in this raw and engaging episode of Angels Anonymous, sharing her struggles with mental fog and the relentless pressure to create. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of overthinking and compulsive phone use, you're not alone. Vanessa candidly discusses the suffocating feeling of 'never enough,' touching on screen-time addiction and the fear of solitude.
With a mix of humour and vulnerability, she reveals how her cat, Posey, helps her slow down and be present, despite the constant urge to numb out with distractions. Vanessa's chat with ChatGPT is a humorous yet honest exploration of her mental spirals, revealing the pressure creators face to keep producing content even when feeling disconnected.
She challenges listeners to reflect on their own screen-time habits and the subtle ways we avoid stillness, offering insights into intentional consumption and personal growth. This episode isn't just about sharing struggles; it's about creating a space where you can feel heard and validated. Are you ready to explore your own patterns of consumption and find peace in quiet moments?
