Out of the Loop

Ever feel like your brain won’t shut up? Like you’re stuck replaying the same moment, the same mistake, the same fear—on a loop that promises clarity but delivers exhaustion? In this episode of The Grit Files, I dive deep into the science and soul of rumination. I unpack why our minds spiral, how shame fuels the cycle, and what it really takes to step out of the loop. I share five powerful ways I’ve learned to interrupt rumination—without shame, without force, and without pretending it’s easy. You’ll hear real-life stories that remind us healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about choosing ourselves, one breath at a time. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own mind, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and reclaim your peace.
