Overthinking The Awesome

You've tried meditation. You've tried breathing exercises. You've been told to "just relax" or "stop worrying so much." And yet here you are—3 AM, wide awake, racing thoughts on repeat, your brain running worst-case scenarios about something that happened years ago or might never happen at all. Your brain isn't broken. It's brilliant and bored. Overthinking the Awesome is a podcast for anyone drowning in anxiety, rumination, self-doubt, and the mental spirals that steal your sleep and hijack your peace. Instead of trying to silence your restless mind—spoiler: it doesn't work—you'll learn to redirect all that mental horsepower into clarity, confidence, and calm. In this series, you'll discover how to catch "the click"—the split-second before anxious thoughts spiral into full-blown catastrophic thinking. You'll learn why your inner critic won't shut up and how to finally fire your negative narrator. You'll retrain your mental algorithm so it stops feeding you worst-case scenarios and worry on a loop. You'll understand why compliments feel suspicious, why imposter syndrome kicks in the moment things go right, and how to let positive things actually be true about you. And you'll get real strategies for quieting a racing mind—without toxic positivity or empty affirmations. Season 1 laid the foundation. Season 2 goes deeper. This is a self-help podcast for overthinkers, chronic worriers, perfectionists, and anyone whose brain treats 2 AM like prime problem-solving time. If analysis paralysis has ever frozen you in place—or you've wished you could just turn your mind off for five minutes—start here. Topics covered include: overthinking, anxiety, self-doubt, spiraling, rumination, racing thoughts, inner critic, negative thinking, worry, anxious thoughts, catastrophic thinking, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, analysis paralysis, intrusive thoughts, cognitive reframing, mental wellness, and building real confidence. Based on the book Overthinking the Awesome: How to Turn Anxiety, Spiraling, and Self-Doubt Into Clarity and Confidence by David Cosgrove, available on Amazon (Kindle + Paperback) and Audible.
