In this solo episode, I dive into the realities of overthinking — and how waiting for the "perfect" plan or moment can leave you stuck doing nothing at all.
I talk about:
How I wasn’t even an over-planner — I just avoided planning altogether, but convinced myself I'd made progress
The challenges of being an introvert in a media course full of extroverts, and the jealousy I felt seeing others so clear on their paths
Working in a jewellers, eventually studying to become a PT, and how long it took me to make the leap into the fitness world
Realising I’m not a professional planner — I’m a professional overthinker
How even perfectly laid plans (like my trip through France) can still go wrong — and why that's okay
The importance of learning by doing, and seeing setbacks as feedback, not failure
Taking opportunities even when you don’t feel ready, because that's the only way to grow
Finding little ways to get out of your own head — even if it’s having full-blown conversations with yourself
Creating routines and rituals that help you take action, without overwhelming yourself with a huge list of “non-negotiables”
Why if you wait for the perfect time, you'll just end up watching life pass you by — so you might as well go for it
I'd love to hear what you’re working towards — drop a comment and let me know!
