Join Kat in this solo episode as she talks about the topic of overthinking and how it may be sabotaging your life. Overthinking comes up in almost every talk that Kat delivers and is something she has suffered with personally for most of her life. Kat shares strategies to help you if you are an overthinker and talks about the impact overconsumption of information, as well as other people, can have on our susceptibility to overthinking.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Overthinking is something Kat has struggled with in her own life. It’s not surprising it is so common for many of us as we are consuming more information as humans than ever before.
It can be helpful to use the tools on your smartphone that show you how much information you are consuming and see if that correlates to your overthinking and mood.
Kat finds that she struggles more with overthinking when she hasn’t been taking care of herself and has been overconsuming information that isn’t helpful to her brain.
Human beings love to share problems and most of us love to give advice and help where we can, but this can lead to overthinking and making unhelpful decisions for ourselves.
Writing your thoughts down is one of the best ways to deal with your overthinking.
Overthinking can lead to feelings of self-doubt and procrastination, so being able to combat it in helpful ways is really important.

ABOUT THE HOST
Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.
She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
