In episode 111, we’re talking about why thinking harder isn’t always the solution, and how overthinking can quietly stall your career, business, or next move.
If you’ve been replaying the same questions about a promotion, a pivot, or starting something new, this episode explores when thinking stops being useful and starts becoming avoidance. I break down how high-achieving women get stuck in mental loops that feel responsible, but actually delay action, confidence, and momentum.
Through client stories and coaching frameworks, we look at how to recognize when you’ve gathered enough information, and what to do next so you can move forward without forcing clarity or burning yourself out.
In this episode, I cover:
Why overthinking blocks progress in careers and entrepreneurship
How to recognize when thinking turns into a loop instead of insight
A simple three-question check to interrupt overthinking patterns
Why data and feedback, not more rumination, create clarity
How to externalize decisions and test ideas without overcommitting
What it actually takes to move from thought to action with support
Key Takeaways:
Thinking is a tool, not a strategy
Overthinking often signals avoidance, not preparation
Action creates clarity faster than analysis
Small tests reduce fear and build self-trust
Support accelerates progress when you’re facing something new
