253: Stop Overthinking and Start Moving: From What If to Why Not (with Joelle Yuvienco)

Ever notice how overthinking feels like protection… until it quietly becomes the thing keeping you stuck?

The spirals.

The what-ifs.

The mental gymnastics that make love, decisions, and even joy feel heavier than they need to be.

In this episode, I sit down with Joelle Yuvienco, voice artist, events host, and the heart behind Paano Kung, a podcast that has become a refuge for overthinkers navigating love, life, and vulnerability. What unfolds is an honest conversation about emotional patterns, self-sabotage, shame, and the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself again, especially when certainty is nowhere to be found. Rather than fixing overthinking or rushing to clarity, this episode invites you to slow down and notice what your thoughts have been trying to protect you from, and what happens when you finally listen instead of running.
