This week we’re talking about overthinking (hi, it’s me). If you’ve been calling it “procrastination” but your brain feels like a browser with 57 tabs open... it's probably actually overthinking. And it's costing you.

In this episode, we get into:

five sneaky signs you’re overthinking without realising (including the one that looks like “being productive”)
why millennial women are uniquely wired to ruminate (perfection culture, comparison, and that never-ending mental load)
the moments I catch myself spiralling — and what I do next
how to give your brain a safer outlet than doom-scrolling or rebranding your Canva file… again
the tiny decision shift that moves you forward without needing more “discipline”

I also share the five simple strategies I've been implementing to reduce overthinking and double my mental energy. You can try these this week!
