The Overthinking Trap: Breaking the Cycle with Lisa Tarves

Why do we overthink, replay conversations in our heads, and worry about things that haven’t even happened yet?

In this episode of the S.T.A.R. Podcast, Lisa Tarves joins us for a conversation about overthinking, why our minds get stuck in endless loops, and how it can affect our everyday lives, relationships, and decision-making.

Lisa is a podcast host, author of many books, with a new one coming out in 2027, and is on the show to share about overthinking.

We’ll explore what drives overthinking, how to recognize when we’re caught in the cycle, and practical ways to quiet the mental noise, gain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence.

If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at night thinking about a conversation from three days ago, this episode is for you!

Tune in for an insightful conversation about understanding our thoughts, breaking unhelpful patterns, and learning how to get out of our own heads.

Topics discussed:

1. Lisa's full career from author and podcast host to NLP practitioner
2. Overthinking and tools to help
