In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common ways new coaches get stuck: overthinking. 

Whether you call it analysis paralysis or productive procrastination, it’s often just your brain’s way of keeping you safe. But the truth is, real clarity and momentum only come through action.

I'll walk you through why overthinking happens, the sneaky stories we tell ourselves (like “this has to be perfect before I put it out there”), and what to do instead — so you can stop second-guessing and start making real progress in your coaching business.

We’ll also chat about how to move through decision overwhelm with more ease, why support and feedback can collapse your timeline, and how to start thinking of your business as an experiment — not a test you have to ace on the first try.

🧡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why overthinking is normal — and how to stop letting it run the show
• The mindset shifts that will help you move forward faster
• The power of iteration and getting real-world feedback
• What “progress over perfection” actually looks like in a coaching business
• How to reframe decisions so you stop trying to get it “right” and start getting it real

🎧 Listen now if you’re ready to:

• Get out of your own head
• Take imperfect action
• Build momentum in your coaching biz — without the overwhelm
