How to Stop Overthinking and Grow Your Coaching Business | Ep.54
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.
