Than Your Brain Actually Thinks

An eccentric mental wellness and lifestyle blog about anxiety, everyday life, and the Olympic-level overthinking nobody asked us to do. Overthinkers gather here! Let’s laugh it out.

hey, i’m nae.

Bringing humor and laughter to anxiety and panic disorder.

MENTAL WELLNESS · HEALTHY BOUNDARIES · INNER CHILD HEALING · TRAUMA RECOVERY

can you relate?
of worries never happened
mental tabs opened
TIMES I’VE said, “I’M FINE”
OVERTHINKing worked
statistics questionable

My personality and overthinking? Unfortunately is not.

RECOVERING PEOPLE PLEASER AND MENTAL WELLNESS CHEERLEADER

A Little Nerdy. A Lot of Quirky. Introverted.

Occasionally Unsupervised.

Hey, I’m Nae! A delightfully weird woman with a big personality. I love life, I love to laugh, and somewhere between being a responsible adult and a complete goofball, I’ve decided that being normal is highly overrated. Besides, I tried it once. Terrible experience. Zero stars.

I created Easier Said Than Calm because anxiety has had enough airtime in my life, and I figured it was time to give laughter the microphone.

This space is to remind ourselves that life can still be beautiful even when our brains are acting like unpaid reality TV producers. I’m glad you’re here!

  • “Finally, a mental wellness blog that doesn’t make me feel like I need to meditate on a mountain for six hours! I came for the anxiety tips, stayed for the laughs, and left feeling a little less crazy.”

  • It’s like having a best friend who understands anxiety and the struggle of being a functioning adult. I’ve never felt so personally attacked and emotionally supported at the same time!

Obsessed with all things Pen & Paper.

Some women collect shoes. I collect notebooks, journals, pretty pens, and enough stationery to open a small office supply store. Do I need another notebook? Absolutely not. Will I buy it anyway? Let’s not ask unnecessary questions.

This is my little corner of the internet dedicated to all things pen and paper. From gorgeous journals and must-have planners to pens that write like butter, I’m sharing my favorite stationery finds, little obsessions, and things that make everyday life a bit more fabulous.
