Do you ever feel like your mind is running a marathon while your body is stuck in place? If every decision, (even sometimes the small ones) requires endless research, pros-and-cons lists, or asking everyone for advice… and you still can't choose, this episode is for you.

Today we're diving into the pattern that keeps so many spiritual midlife women spinning, stuck, and drained: overthinking.

We'll break down why the advice you've been given like "just think positively" or "make a pros-and-cons list" actually keeps you trapped. And, as always, we'll tie this back to the physical and emotional symptoms you feel as you transition through menopause and beyond.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand the real cost of staying stuck in overthinking, the possibilities that open up when you shift from endless analysis to intuitive action, and exactly what to do to get out of it.

You'll discover:

• Why overthinking shows up in midlife and how it's connected to your nervous system trying to keep you safe
• What's actually happening in your body when you're stuck in mental loops (and why it feels so exhausting)
• Why common advice doesn't work, and how it actually keeps you more stuck in your head
• The real cost of staying in over-analysis: drained energy, eroded confidence, and disconnection from your intuition
• A new approach: How to shift from your mind to your body and start trusting your intuition instead of endless data
• Practical steps you can take today to break the overthinking cycle and reclaim your energy

The key thing to take away from this episode is that overthinking isn't a character flaw - it's a nervous system pattern trying to keep you safe. But the safety it promises is an illusion that costs you your energy, confidence, and connection to yourself. When you shift your focus from endless analysis to intuitive, body-based action, you reclaim your time, energy, and trust in yourself.
