If you’re caught in a loop of overthinking, analysis paralysis, or chronic second-guessing, this episode is the one you didn’t know you needed.

In this truth-filled solo, mindset and identity coach Shana Kad unpacks the real reason your thoughts won’t stop spinning and why trying to think your way into safety is keeping you stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from your power.

This isn’t just another chat about calming your mind. It’s a deep dive into the psychology behind overthinking, how it’s rooted in the need for control, and why that illusion is costing you real momentum.

You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset shift, one that will help you stop spiralling and start choosing, even when outcomes are uncertain.

Inside this episode:

• Why overthinking isn’t about clarity, it’s about trying to avoid emotional discomfort

• The hidden trade-off you’re making every time you stay in indecision

• How mental loops give you false control, and why they secretly feel safer than action

• The simple 3-question framework to help you break free from rumination and move forward

• A powerful personal story about launching this podcast without guarantees, without perfection

• The truth about fear: it doesn’t mean stop. It means you care.

If you’ve ever said, “I just need to think about it a little longer…” this is your wake-up call.

Because thinking isn’t always helping you move forward. Sometimes, it’s just keeping you safe from decisions that would actually change your life.

Hit play to learn how to reclaim your energy, trust yourself again, and move forward, even when the path ahead isn’t perfectly mapped out.

What decision have you been circling that you already know your next step for but are avoiding because it feels risky?
