If you're a mom who lies awake replaying every decision, every tantrum, every tiny moment—this one’s for you. In honor of Maternal Mental Health Month, Emily sits down with Dr. Kristin Calverley, a licensed clinical psychologist and mom of two, to talk about the all-too-common cycle of anxiety and overthinking in motherhood.

From postpartum panic to the daily doom spirals over simple decisions, Dr. Kristin breaks down why our brains get stuck in worry loops and how we can gently break free.

They discuss:

• The hidden link between overthinking and self-trust
• How motherhood rewires our worry circuits
• Why mindfulness isn't just trendy—it’s clinically effective
• Practical tips for interrupting mental spirals in real time
• When to seek therapy—and how to know if you need it

Whether you’re a self-identified perfectionist or a sleep-deprived parent navigating the mental load, you’ll walk away from this conversation with science-backed tools to help you pause, reset, and rebuild self-trust.
