The feeling that everyone else is moving forward while you are still trying to figure things out.Each episode begins with a familiar emotional experience and looks at what may actually be happening underneath it.Through psychology, behavioral science, emotional insight, and real-life examples, the show explores overthinking, uncertainty, relationships, self-doubt, regret, loneliness, comparison, boundaries, emotional exhaustion, difficult decisions, and the stories the mind creates when life feels unclear.This is not toxic positivity.It is not therapy disguised as a podcast.And it will not tell you to simply stop worrying.Instead, each episode offers a calmer and more accurate way to understand what you are feeling, why your mind may be reacting this way, and what might help you carry the situation a little differently.Sometimes feeling better does not mean solving the problem.Sometimes it means realizing the problem is smaller than it felt.Sometimes it means knowing what deserves your attention and what does not.And sometimes it simply means hearing the right perspective before you overthink it again.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6492919/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Self-Improvement</category><copyright>Copyright Logan</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1681c33288b3004a7c052309f9df5959.jpg</url><title>Before You Overthink It Again</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/before-you-overthink-it-again--6492919</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 13:47:47 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Logan</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Logan</itunes:name><itunes:email>feeds@spreaker.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1681c33288b3004a7c052309f9df5959.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Before You Overthink It Again is a psychology and emotional wellbeing podcast for the moments when your mind will not leave something alone.The unanswered message.

What was observed? Unpredictable reply schedules keep checking going, and the mind fills missing information with confident, unevidenced endings. How was it measured? Operant research on variable reinforcement schedules, from Skinner onward. Why is it important? The wait, not the reply, is where most of the suffering happens. What explanations are supported? Variable reinforcement for the checking loop, and ambiguity filling for the invented endings. What remains unknown? How much of the loop is schedule-driven versus social-anxiety-driven in any given person.

It is eleven now, the ticks are blue, and you have picked up your phone fourteen times. Logan follows the wait for a reply from variable reinforcement — unpredictable rewards are the most compelling kind — through the stories the mind writes into silence, and the difference between a fact and a story. What was observed? Unpredictable reply schedules keep checking going, and the mind fills missing information with confident, unevidenced endings. How was it measured? Operant research on variable reinforcement schedules, from Skinner onward. Why is it important? The wait, not the reply, is where most of the suffering happens. What explanations are supported? Variable reinforcement for the checking loop, and ambiguity filling for the invented endings. What remains unknown? How much of the loop is schedule-driven versus social-anxiety-driven in any given person. Sources: Skinner on variable-ratio reinforcement; the intolerance of uncertainty literature (Dugas and colleagues).]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>634</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>behavioral science,decision making,difficult emotions,emotional health,emotional intelligence,emotional regulation,emotional wellbeing,human behavior,human psychology,mental clarity,mental wellness,overthinking,personal growth,psychology,relationships,self compassion,self doubt,self reflection,stress,uncertainty</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c7db31064d2f27144c84134d89f0136d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Sometimes the Hardest Part Is Not Knowing</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/sometimes-the-hardest-part-is-not-knowing--76058738</link><description><![CDATA[You have checked your phone eleven times since breakfast, waiting for test results that were due three days ago. Logan follows intolerance of uncertainty from the Dugas model of worry — the mind treats an unanswered question as a threat, and an experiment showed that raising intolerance of uncertainty raises worry with it — through the two kinds of uncertainty, solvable and unsolvable, and the two questions that tell them apart. What was observed? People prefer a certain unpleasant outcome to an uncertain one, and worry rises and falls with intolerance of uncertainty. How was it measured? The Dugas, Freeston and Ladouceur model of worry, and the Ladouceur, Gosselin and Dugas experiment that raised and lowered intolerance of uncertainty with a gambling task. Why is it important? The feeling of not knowing shapes what we dare to wait for and how much energy waiting costs. What explanations are supported? Intolerance of uncertainty as the main driver of worry, and positive beliefs about worry keeping it going. What remains unknown? How much intolerance of uncertainty varies across cultures and across kinds of uncertainty.

In this opening episode of *In Love Forever*, a recurring love phrase becomes the starting point for a larger investigation into how romance survives across time. The trail moves through a Smithsonian sound-recordings archive, Project Gutenberg’s searchable literary record, and modern reference layers that help old cultural fragments stay visible. Each source preserves memory differently, and each reveals something about how feeling gets stored, indexed, and rediscovered. Rather than claiming a single origin, this episode follows recurrence itself. What happens when the same emotional language keeps resurfacing across songs, texts, catalogs, and public memory? The answer points beyond one phrase and toward a broader truth: love in popular culture is not only felt. It is packaged, preserved, and heard again.

In this opening episode of *In Love Forever*, a recurring love phrase becomes the starting point for a larger investigation into how romance survives across time. The trail moves through a Smithsonian sound-recordings archive, Project Gutenberg’s searchable literary record, and modern reference layers that help old cultural fragments stay visible. Each source preserves memory differently, and each reveals something about how feeling gets stored, indexed, and rediscovered. Rather than claiming a single origin, this episode follows recurrence itself. What happens when the same emotional language keeps resurfacing across songs, texts, catalogs, and public memory? The answer points beyond one phrase and toward a broader truth: love in popular culture is not only felt. It is packaged, preserved, and heard again.
