Don't Think with Carla Bezanson
Hosted by Dear Media · EN
Don’t Think is your weekly overthinking support group disguised as a podcast - hosted by Carla Bezanson, known for spiraling in her car and saying what everyone else is too embarrassed to admit. In short, she’s anxiety personified. This isn’t another polished self help show.
It’s brutally honest, darkly funny, and sometimes a little unhinged. From dating anxiety to mental health spirals, Don’t Think turns emotional chaos into catharsis. It’s not just relatable, it’s real. If you’ve ever texted someone a paragraph and then thrown your phone across the room, welcome home.
