#159: When Does Thoughtful Become Overthinking?

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.
