Welcome back to The Uncensored Self Podcast.
Today we’re continuing our Unlearning Success series with one of the biggest, most toxic lies high-achieving women have been sold: that overthinking is intelligent. That stress, pressure, and running through every possible scenario makes you a good decision maker. That the more you think, the more prepared you’ll be.
But what if overthinking isn’t a sign of intelligence—it’s actually a trauma response? A survival pattern?
In this episode, I walk you through the truth about overthinking and show you how it’s blocking the clarity, peace, and results you actually want.
In this episode, we cover:
Why overthinking feels safe—but is keeping you stuck in fear
The difference between “thinking more” and “thinking intentionally”
How our culture rewards logic and completely disregards intuitive knowing
What happens when you stop solving problems and start creating from alignment
How to tell if you’re playing the mind game vs. the energy game
This episode isn’t just about mindset. It’s about identity.
It’s about seeing yourself clearly—beyond the spinning thoughts—and reclaiming your power to create.
Watch now and learn how to:
Stop confusing over-analysis with preparedness
Release the fear that keeps your nervous system stuck in “figure it out” mode
Step out of survival thinking and into energetic alignment
Become the woman who trusts herself, not just her logic
Get back your time, your power, and your clarity
If you’ve ever said, “I just need to think about it more…”
If you’ve ever spiraled in indecision, felt paralyzed by possibilities, or stayed stuck in your head long after your gut already said yes—this is your episode.
Let it land. Let it shift you. Let it free you.
