The Anxious Creative

How to Stop Overthinking and Start Taking Action (Even When You're Struggling)


Listen Later

Today’s not your typical polished podcast episode. It’s real, raw, and unfiltered—because that’s what I needed, and maybe you do too.

I recorded this right from my couch while processing a really tough day. My motivation was gone, my heart was heavy, and I was spiraling in overthinking. Then I cracked open Lessons for Living by Phil Stutz and felt seen. So I’m bringing three of the tools from that book straight to you:

  • Speed: Why taking quick, messy action (even if you fail) is better than overthinking your way into success.
  • Density: How doing more imperfect things can build momentum and confidence faster than doing one “perfect” thing.
  • Nightly Review: A 10-minute reflection that helps you stay grounded and on purpose—even when everything feels like too much.

I also open up about where I’ve been emotionally, how I’ve lost and rebuilt motivation, and what it’s really like when the inner critic gets loud. You’ll hear the tears, the laughter, and maybe see yourself in this story too.

So cozy up. We’re not fixing everything today—we’re just showing up. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
