Thoughts On Overthinking, Attachment, and Being Too In Your Head

Text feedback to the show! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1995118/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I talk about what overthinking actually looks like in real life. I go from dating apps and work emails to friendships and late night spirals. I unpack how attachment, nervous system responses, and looping thoughts all feed into being “too in your head,” and share a few tools I’m using to come back to the present, take small actions, and stop letting every thought turn into a whole story.

Don’t Weaponize Intimacy To Prove You Matter

Text feedback to the show! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1995118/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Donavon explores what it really means to “know your truth” when you’re hurt and tempted to get even. He breaks down the difference between communicating and scorekeeping, why weaponized intimacy is so destructive, and how unspoken expectations turn into “you owe me” energy. You’ll get specific journal prompts to process rejection, ego bruises, and betrayal without turning into the person you’re trying to heal from. This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wanted to clap back, pull away on purpose, or make someone feel what you felt—and is finally ready to choose a different story.

The Story You Tell Yourself In The New Year

Text feedback to the show! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1995118/fan_mail/new] Donavon dives into a freezing garage gym, a chaotic treadmill fall, and the split-second moment where he realizes he has a choice: let one mistake define him, or let it refine him. In this episode, he unpacks how the stories you tell yourself after a “fall”... in love, work, goals, or everyday life... quietly shape who you become in the new year. Through honest reflection, practical examples, and a journal prompt, he invites you to notice when your inner narrative is shrinking you, return to what you know is true about you, and choose a story that actually supports the version of yourself you’re trying to grow into.
