Mindset, Mindfulness & Meditation for People Who Think It's All B.S.
Practical tools to quiet your brain, stop overthinking, and actually feel like yourself again.
What is Plan Over Panic Coaching?
Real Talk About Mindset (Without the B.S.)
If you've ever rolled your eyes at "good vibes only" or thought meditation was just for people who have their lives together, you're in the right place.
Plan Over Panic is mindset work for skeptics and beginners—the people who want to feel better but aren't buying what the wellness industry is selling.
The 3 M's That Changed Everything:
Mindset — Learning to talk back to your brain when it starts spiraling
Mindfulness — Noticing what's happening right now (instead of catastrophizing about later)
Meditation — Giving your overactive brain a timeout (even if it's just 3 minutes)
None of these require you to become a different person. Just a calmer, clearer version of you.
Who is POP Coaching for?
This Is for You If...
You're a skeptic who's tired of feeling stuck but suspicious of anything that sounds too "zen"
You overthink everything—and your brain won't shut up, even when you're exhausted
You've tried meditation once, got bored in 30 seconds, and assumed it "wasn't for you"
You want tools that actually fit real life—not a vision board and a prayer
You're ready to feel calmer and think clearer, but you need someone to cut through the noise and make it make sense

Why Listen to Me?
Hi, I'm Sarah — Reformed Overthinker & Recovering Skeptic
I used to think mindset work was for people who had time to journal for an hour every morning.
Meditation? That was for Zen masters and people without anxiety.
Mindfulness? Sounded nice in theory, but I had no idea how to actually do it.
Then I realized: I wasn't the problem. The way it was being taught was.
So I learned it differently. I stripped away the B.S., tested what actually worked, and built a practice that fit real life—not some idealized Instagram version of it.
Now I help skeptics and overthinkers do the same.
Because you don't need to become a different person. You just need tools that make sense and a guide who gets it.
Here's what I believe:
Your thoughts aren't facts (even when they feel like it)
Mindfulness is just training your brain to chill—nothing mystical about it
Meditation doesn't require incense or a yoga mat
