Rewire Your Brain for Success: Ditch Overthinking & Burnout featuring Dr. Robin Buckley

May 20, 20252 min read

Do you feel like you're constantly stuck in your head?

👉 Overthinking every decision?

👉 Wrestling with imposter syndrome, self-doubt, or perfectionism?

👉 Saying “yes” when you really want to scream “no”?

You’re not alone. High-achieving working moms often find themselves battling invisible mindset blocks that sabotage their success—from burnout to feeling “not enough” no matter how much they accomplish.

But here’s the truth: your brain is wired to keep you stuck… unless you know how to take the wheel.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Robin Buckley—a TEDx speaker, PhD in clinical psych, and executive cognitive behavioral coach who’s been featured in Nike, Entrepreneur, and Authority Magazine.

She breaks down how to make your brain your ally, not your adversary, so you can finally lead with clarity, calm, and confidence.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

✅ Why the “amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex” battle is behind your anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout
✅ How to use “180 Thinking” to shut down worst-case-scenario spirals in seconds
✅ The real reason your boundaries don’t stick—and the one word that’s secretly sabotaging them
✅ What “musturbating” really means (Spoiler: It’s not what you think - I spelled it correctly 😅)
✅ How to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and build a sustainable version of success

“If you're not on your own calendar, you’re saying everything else matters more than you.” - Dr. Robin Buckley

Try This Action Step:

Open your calendar. If there’s no time blocked out just for you this week—fix that.

✅ Book a 5-minute walk
✅ Schedule 30 minutes to read, journal, or nap
✅ Commit to one “want to” instead of one more “should”

Because when your brain feels safe, focused, and supported—you lead from your full potential..
