Ever feel like your mind just won’t stop? Same. 

In this special After the Walk episode, I talk about what it's like to live with a constantly busy brain — and how I’ve learned to calm the chaos.

We’ll talk about the 60,000+ thoughts we think each day (yep, really), and how I’ve gone from overwhelmed to grounded using my go-to mental reset: NWB — Now, Walk, Breathe.

Inside this heartfelt reflection:

  • Real talk on racing thoughts and mental overload
  • My 3 go-to tools for calming anxiety and overthinking
  • A reminder that peace isn’t a destination — it’s a practice
  • Encouragement for coming back to the present moment
  • A quote that might just stay with you forever

If your mind’s been feeling loud lately, I hope this gives you the soft nudge, warm hug, or deep exhale you didn’t know you needed.
