    4. Discipline is NOT a Personality Trait

    Discipline has a branding problem. Somewhere along the way, it became moralised — like some people are just born disciplined, organised, and motivated, while everyone else is lazy or lacking willpower. And in this episode, I’m calling that out for what it is: bullshit. Discipline isn’t a personality trait. It’s not something you either have or you don’t. It’s something you build — and more importantly, something you design. In this episode of Overthinking It, we unpack why discipline feels so hard, why relying on motivation keeps failing us, and how disciplined people actually operate behind the scenes. We talk systems over willpower, reducing decision fatigue, making habits easier instead of harder, and why real discipline is quiet, boring, and incredibly effective. This episode is for anyone who wants better routines, better habits, and a better relationship with themselves — without shame, guilt, or unrealistic expectations. Because you don’t need to try harder.You need a strategy that actually supports you. - Ioanna x

    3. Self-Doubt Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Know Yourself

    Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re lost, behind, or failing at life — even though it can feel that way. In this episode, we talk about why self-doubt often shows up when you’re growing, making changes, or exposed to too many outside opinions (hello, social media). This is a gentle reminder that questioning yourself doesn’t cancel out your self-knowledge — it usually means you care. We unpack comparison, the pressure to “have it all figured out,” and how scrolling through everyone else’s highlight reel can slowly disconnect you from your own path. If you’ve been second-guessing yourself lately, this episode is here to help you reconnect with your own voice and trust that you’re not as lost as you think. - Ioanna xx

    2. Why Healthy Love Feels Unfamiliar (Unpacking Situationships and More)

    Healthy love doesn’t always feel like fireworks, chaos, or obsession — and that can be confusing when we’ve been conditioned to equate intensity with connection. In this episode, we talk about why we’re often drawn to emotionally unavailable people, mixed signals, and situationships… and why calm, consistent love can feel boring, uncomfortable, or even wrong at first. This is a gentle conversation about unlearning old patterns, redefining what love actually feels like, and trusting comfort instead of chasing confusion — especially around Valentine’s Day, when relationships are everywhere. If you’ve ever wondered why you crave what hurts and question what’s healthy, this episode is for you. - Ioanna xx

    1. Why we overthinking (and why it makes sense)

    In the first episode of Overthinking It, we’re breaking down what overthinking actually is, why it makes so much sense, and why “just stop thinking” is the most useless advice you’ve ever heard. We dive into the brain science behind overthinking, why your nervous system gets stuck in survival mode, and how that spiral convinces you it’s being helpful when it’s really just keeping you stuck. Overthinking makes sense, but it doesn’t get to run your life anymore. Hope you enjoy! - Ioanna xx
