Week #5: You're Overthinking Life (Start Anyway)

Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m calling out how overthinking and endless planning keep us stuck, sharing a few of my own stories, and challenging you to stop getting ready to get ready and just begin.

Episode Notes

If you’re stuck overthinking or endlessly planning, this episode is for you. I share some honest stories from my own life, like how I stalled forever on redoing our kitchen table, and how I talked for years before ever starting a podcast. We dive into why planning often feels productive but is fear in disguise, and how both the Bible and Stoicism call us to action, not just intention. By the end, I’ll challenge you (and myself) to stop getting ready to get ready... and just take the first messy step!
