#192 Stop Waiting, Start Moving: Lessons From an Overthinker


Listen Later

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!
