Our brains lie to us. Not because they hate us, but because they love us and want to protect us. That’s why intrusive thoughts and scary feelings appear. It's our brain’s way of keeping us safe from the things we don’t understand. But that doesn’t mean we have to let them control us.

In this insight episode, I explore:

• My experience with OCD and intrusive thoughts, especially in my romantic relationship (ROCD)
• How to stop letting anxiety control you through self-compassion
• How to work with your unconscious brain, not against it
• Why an off-day isn’t a setback, and how to find peace again when your mind feels like your enemy
• Social media, fear mongering, how to tell the difference between anxiety & intuition
