About the course

If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing decisions you’re qualified to make, over-preparing to avoid being questioned, or feeling emotionally drained despite objective success, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. The Sanity Thief™ names the internal narrative that quietly interferes with clarity, confidence, and judgment under pressure. This program helps you recognize what’s happening beneath the surface, tell the difference between personal doubt and external pressure, and step in early when mental noise starts to interfere with clear thinking. This is not therapy. This is not diagnosis. It is professional self-awareness in action.

Spot the Sanity Thief™

Learn how to recognize the subtle internal signals that show up under pressure, like second guessing, mental noise, over preparing, or emotional fatigue. This helps you name what is actually happening instead of assuming something is wrong with you.

Separate what’s yours from what isn’t

This program helps you sort internal narratives from external demands such as expectations, workload, systems, or culture. You stop carrying pressure that was never meant to be yours.

Interrupt cognitive hijacking in real time

You will practice simple, practical tools, including Pause, Name, Reframe, that help you regain clarity in the moment, make steadier decisions, and show up with more confidence.
