Overthinking and Embracing the Process

In this episode, we hear from Katherin Quezada, a young Mexican woman from New York City. 

Katherin talks about trying to get out of her comfort zone and growing up being told what was expected of her as a woman. She reflects on what it was like to be raised in an environment where communication was lacking and how this inevitably led her to keep to herself a lot and being very shy. Katherin also talks about recognizing repetitive harmful relationship patterns in her family and trying to break these generational patterns in her own life. She discusses what it has been like to set boundaries in her life, based on things that she doesn’t want to repeat. Katherine speaks about learning how to sit with her emotions and identifying what she is feeling, along with being able to accept that it is okay to feel. 

Katherin dives into how she has struggled with overthinking, and how it has often come up from having been the person that everyone would lean on for advice and support. She describes how her past reflects a lot on her present and overthinking about things that she has experienced in her childhood and not wanting to go through the same things as a grown woman. Katherin talks about learning to love herself and looking to the next day as another opportunity to be better/different. Katherin recommends finding loving positive people, listening to music, going for walks, and reading books by r.h. Sin if you are looking for resources in your healing journey. Katherin hopes to one day take her experiences and potentially be intentional support for others, particularly a therapist.
