Are you actually overthinking… or just being thorough?

This week, we’re tackling one of the sneakiest habits high-functioning overthinkers fall into: making everything harder than it needs to be.
From your day-to-day to your biggest goals, overcomplicating your plans might be costing you time, energy, and results — and today, I’m showing you how to stop.
I’m walking you through two real-life examples (one goal-oriented, one daily-life related), and giving you the two HQQs (hig...
What happens when a former anxious overthinker goes to London with no plan?
This week, I’m walking you through the real-life experiment I ran last month: a 4-day solo trip to London with one plan (see the Harry Potter show) and zero itinerary. My goal? To enjoy myself without burning brain energy on constant second-guessing or planning every minute of the day.
In this episode, I’m sharing the decision-making s...

So... I got a tattoo. In a foreign country. On what looked like a whim.
But (spoiler) this episode is about much more than ink.
It’s about what happens when you hit a stretch of life that feels like one transition too many — and how to reclaim your role as the chooser of your own life, even when you can’t control everything happening in it.
Here’s where we go:
If you're already fried and summer hasn’t even started yet...this episode’s for you.
Because May — or Maycember, as some know it — has a way of draining the life out of you with nonstop events, decisions, and that special blend of chaos, guilt, and calendar overload.
Here’s where we go in this episode:

Today, we’re bridging the gap between decisiveness and self-regulation.
Learn how to become a more effective decision-maker by understanding and managing your physiological, mental, and emotional states.
We'll talk about:

Ok - negative consequences aren't fun, but the good news is: getting better at dealing with them will help you become more decisive!

In this installment of the series on How to Become More Decisive (woot!) I discuss a crucial but often overlooked aspect of decisiveness: choosing not to make a decision right now.

How do you organize the chaos pile that is your brain when you're thinking about changing jobs?
You pay attention to what decisions you're tasking yourself with, and what the most valuable questions are to answer next!

Here's something that comes up often when people are considering changing jobs - and it can lead you to staying somewhere you don't truly want to be for YEARS.
The fear of "leaving people in the lurch" - aka, "quitting guilt."

This episode will help you:

How many years (decades?) have you been struggling with these questions?
Am I doing a good enough job?
What that a good enough response?
Did I do well enough today?
Am I good enough?
Fundamentally, these are good questions to keep us on track to live the lives we want, including all the achievement and fulfillment our hearts desire.
Practically, however...they end up a lot less USEFUL day-to-day.

So many choices are influenced by our fear of eliciting certain reactions from other people.
This is FOPO in action: Fear of People's Opinions.
