Let’s be real—sometimes the common denominator in all our problems is us. But self-accountability isn’t about self-blame; it’s about self-growth.

We’re getting into: ✔️ The hard truth about why we struggle with self-awareness ✔️ How taking ownership of our mistakes can actually heal us ✔️ Red flags we ignore and why we do it (spoiler: we know better) ✔️ The difference between self-accountability and self-sabotage ✔️ Why your birth chart might have the answers you’ve been avoiding 👀 This is one of those raw, introspective conversations that might just have you rethinking some of your past decisions.

It's All in My Head: When Overthinking Becomes Self-Sabotage 20:09

منذ 17 weeks20:09

20:09

Welcome back, DAMN FAM, to It’s About DAMN Time ! This week, I'm diving deep into a topic that hits home for a lot of us—overthinking. If you’re anything like me, you've probably spent nights replaying conversations, analyzing your every move, or holding yourself back from making big decisions because of that internal critic. Well, let’s talk about how overthinking is more than just a mental loop; it’s straight-up self-sabotage. In this episode, I get real about my struggles with overthinking and how it’s impacted my growth, my creativity, and my confidence. You’ll hear my story of battling the urge to second-guess myself, the weight of overanalyzing what I post on social media, and the stress that comes with questioning if I'm “enough” for the dreams I'm chasing. Here’s what I cover in today’s episode: What Overthinking Looks Like for Me : I share what it’s like to be the “king of overthinking,” from creating content to showing my true self. Overthinking and Social Media : How fear of judgment kept me from being authentic online, and why I realized showing “Pure Jarratt” matters more than perfect posts. The Impact of Overthinking on Self-Worth : How I began to recognize that my harshest critic was the one in the mirror. How Overthinking Becomes Self-Sabotage : I break down how we can unintentionally block our own progress by holding onto the “what ifs” and “maybes.” Why You Shouldn’t Police Yourself : We talk about why life’s too short to constantly question every move, especially when the biggest regrets often come from things we didn’t do, not the ones we did. This Week’s DAMN Challenge : I’m challenging you (and myself) to find just one thing you've been overthinking and take action on it, without second-guessing! If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own mind or found yourself doubting every decision, this episode is for you. Let's stop letting overthinking keep us from the lives we deserve. Let's reclaim our confidence and move past the endless self-questioning. Keywords : Overthinking, self-sabotage, confidence, mental health, personal development, social media, self-worth, authenticity, regrets, personal growth, self-acceptance, mental loop, inner critic, authenticity on social media, overcoming self-doubt. Ready to join the challenge? Hit me up on social media @itsaboutdamntimepod on IG and let me know how you’re stepping out of the overthinking cycle. Let’s work on this together and stop letting our minds be the reason we hold back from what we truly want. Listen, share, and let’s grow together!

Just in time for the final days of National Kink Month, I’m sitting down with Safiya Darling , a Black Sex Educator and BDSM/Kink Specialist, who’s here to break it all down.

In this episode of It’s About DAMN Time , I’m diving deep into my personal journey of health, wellness, and self-discovery. I’ve always believed in the power of accountability, but recently, I’ve been challenged to truly practice what I preach . So, I’m opening up about the real struggles I’ve faced on my wellness journey and the importance of holding myself accountable—not just for me, but for my community as well. We all know that self-care is critical, but sometimes it’s easier to talk about than to actually live it. I’m sharing what I’ve learned about the power of consistency, building a supportive community, and why it’s essential to show up for yourself every day. This episode is all about taking real, actionable steps toward better health and well-being. If you’re on a similar path and looking to make positive lifestyle changes, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let’s keep each other accountable and build a community that lifts each other up. Together, we can turn words into action and become the best versions of ourselves.
