Ever felt like your mind is too loud to find peace or focus?Yeah. Us too.In this episode of Too Much Apparently, we (Carly and Alice — two therapists and recovering perfectionists with squishy brains) talk honestly about what it’s like to have a brain that never seems to switch off. When your thoughts feel like they’re competing for airtime, when the noise inside your head is louder than the world outside, and when everyone else seems to have that magical ability to just… think less.We unpack why overthinking often gets confused with deep thinking, how shame spirals and analysis paralysis show up, and why some of us feel like we’re always stuck with too many browser tabs open in our minds.This time we talked about:🎙️ We’ve felt this thing too (and we still do): endless inner conversations, shame spirals, replaying conversations, analysis paralysis.👀 What it looks like in real life: zombie scrolling, obsessive planning, ruminating, or fake “switching off” while your head keeps spinning.🧠 Why our brains do it: trauma responses, nervous system safety, hypervigilance, and the overlap between neurodivergence and overthinking.🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏻 The different ways it shows up: ADHD scatter-brains, obsessive rightness, deep reflection, inner monologues, hyper-visual minds.🧰 Coping mechanisms: lists, planning, numbing with scrolling or games, compulsive “fixing,” or finding temporary relief in distraction.🌱 How to make peace with it: Your loud brain isn’t broken — it’s wired for depth, awareness, and protection. Learning to work with it (rather than fight it) can reveal hidden gifts in the noise.Thanks for listening 💛💜🩷🩵🧡💬 New episodes every Monday.🎧 Follow now to join the conversation.🧡 CONNECT WITH US🎙️ Podcast socials:→ Instagram: @toomuchapparently→ TikTok: @toomuchapparently→ YouTube: Too Much, Apparently→ Website: www.toomuchapparently.com👩‍💻 Carly Radford:→ Website: www.carlyradford.com→ Instagram: @the_sensitivity_therapist👩🏻‍💻 Alice Tew:→ Website: www.alicetew.com→ Instagram: @reparentingwithalice📩 Email us: [email protected]🗓️ New episodes every MondayThis is a podcast that says: bring your too-muchness… we’re here for it.Disclaimer: Just a quick note to say this podcast isn’t therapy, and it’s not a substitute for professional support.
