Introducing
The Ruminating Brain
This eight-lesson on-demand video course will teach you how to live with, and maybe even come to enjoy and smile at your ruminating brain. You’ll learn to turn your biggest critic into your staunchest ally.
Your Ruminating Brain will try to talk you out of this… It’s almost parasitical in nature, working hard to keep its place in your head. It will say, “This won’t work for you,” or “You’re different,” or “You’ll do it later.” Don’t believe it. That’s just your ruminating brain trying to protect itself.
Since 2015, thousands of people have taken this course and experienced life transformations similar to that real estate agent in a workshop in Puerto Vallarta. They’ve found relief from their negative beliefs about themselves and the world. And what one person can do, you can do too.
Here’s what you’ll get:
- 8 comprehensive video lessons where I'll walk you through understanding and managing your ruminating brain
- Freedom to do them at your own pace, as fast or as slow as you want
- 8 practical homework videos with specific assignments to apply what you're learning
- Bonus practices & support videos including meditations and guided imagery to help reinforce the concepts
I’ve designed this course to provide both the understanding and the practical tools you need to break free from the grip of your ruminating brain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a ruminating brain?
If you constantly rehash past mistakes, worry about the future, compare yourself negatively to others, or feel like your mind never stops spinning with self-critical thoughts, you likely have a ruminating brain. The course will help you identify your specific patterns in Lesson 1.
Is this therapy or does it replace therapy?
No, this is not therapy. I’m sharing educational concepts and tools I’ve developed over 40+ years as a therapist. This course can complement therapy but doesn’t replace professional mental health treatment. If you’re dealing with severe depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, please work with a qualified professional.
Will this work if I've tried everything else?
Most people with ruminating brains have tried many approaches that didn’t work because they were designed for “normal” brains. These tools are specifically created for minds that won’t stop spinning. The key is understanding you’re not broken—you just need different strategies.
How much time does this require?
Each lesson is 30-60 minutes, and you go at your own pace. The homework assignments take 10-30 minutes daily. The most important thing is consistency, not speed. Many people see shifts within the first week of applying the tools.
Do I have to do this alone?
Absolutely not. In fact, I strongly recommend finding “safe people” to support you—a coach, therapist, support group, or trusted friends. Don’t do this work in isolation. The course teaches you how to find and work with safe people.
Is this too "spiritual" or "new age"?
Not at all. While I include some meditation and gratitude practices, everything is grounded in practical psychology and neuroscience. I’m not particularly metaphysical—these are proven tools that work regardless of your spiritual beliefs.
What if I can't stop my ruminating brain?
The goal isn’t to stop it—that’s impossible and would make you more frustrated. The goal is to become the observer of your ruminating brain instead of being controlled by it. You’ll learn to work with it, not against it.
How long do I have access to the course?
You have lifetime access to all videos and materials. You can revisit lessons as often as needed and go at whatever pace works for you.
Will this work for severe rumination or just mild cases?
The tools work for all levels of ruminating brain intensity. Some of my most dramatic success stories have been with people who had severe, lifelong patterns. However, if you’re dealing with clinical depression or anxiety, please also work with a mental health professional.
Can I do this if I'm taking medication for anxiety/depression?
Yes, this course is designed to work alongside any treatment you’re already receiving. Always consult with your doctor about your medication, but these tools complement rather than replace medical treatment.
What makes this different from other self-help approaches?
Most self-help assumes you need to “fix” yourself or become better. This course is about accepting and working with who you already are. It’s specifically designed for ruminating brains, not generic advice that works for everyone else but fails for people like us
What if I don't do the homework?
The homework is where the real change happens. Your ruminating brain will try to talk you out of doing it, but that’s exactly why you need to do it. The tools only work if you work them. I’d rather you do one exercise consistently than watch all the videos without taking action.
