Quiet the Mental Noise with Katie McKeown
Episode 171
Monday, 23 March, 2026

Do you want to quiet the mental noise and feel more calm? If you’ve ever noticed that clearing physical clutter doesn’t always bring the inner peace you expected, this conversation is for you. In this episode, Kelly sits down with psychotherapist Katie McKeown, founder and Clinical Director of Modern Psych, a virtual mental health clinic that supports high-achieving individuals experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, food and body struggles, and emotional regulation challenges. Together, Kelly and Katie unpack why a calm-looking space does not always lead to a calm mind. They explore how mental clutter can persist beneath the surface, how your surroundings can both reflect and affect your internal state, and why nervous system regulation plays such an important role in creating lasting calm. You will learn what is happening in the body and brain when you cannot shut your mind off, how to respond when you get stuck in anxiety loops, and why it can feel so frustrating to know what to do but still struggle to do it. This episode also offers practical perspective on the shifts that can help you move toward more relief, clarity, and steadiness. To support this conversation, Katie also created a free three-step worksheet called Closing Your Mental Tabs Guide: A 3-Step Guide to Quieting the Mental Noise that is designed to help you offload your thoughts, identify what actually needs your attention, and begin closing the mental tabs that keep looping. Be inspired to take steps toward greater mental calm, clarity, and ease.
