Are you actually overthinking… or just being thorough?
And how do you tell the difference?
In this quick episode, we’re digging into one of the biggest mindset traps I see with clients — and giving you super actionable ways to take your decision-making process off auto-pilot (without forcing yourself to "just go faster").
We’ll cover:
✅ How to tell if your decision process is a problem — or just your style
✅ The energy driving your decision-making (and why this matters more than how long a choice takes)
✅ How to stop defaulting to unhelpful patterns (hint: this has to do with the "Overthinker" label)
✅ Questions to check in on your relationship with your decision process — so you can change what’s not working!
Bottom line: It isn't "overthinking" every time you take a week to make a choice. Learning the distinction will help you own your decisions with confidence — and take control when your process starts to spin out.
