The Power of Metacognition: Thinking About Thinking

• Tonya Weaver • Episode 23

Ever caught yourself overthinking your overthinking? 🤯 Welcome to the world of metacognition—aka thinking about thinking. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how neurodivergent minds can harness this skill to boost learning, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and productivity.

Metacognition has two key parts:
🧠 Knowing how you think
šŸ› ļø Regulating your thinking process

I’ll share personal insights, practical strategies, and easy-to-use exercises—like journal writing, think-alouds, goal setting, and mindfulness—to help you take control of your thoughts. Whether you're navigating school, work, or everyday life, these tools can make a huge difference.

šŸŽ§ Tune in and let’s get meta!
