Powerback 152: Kick overthinking to the curb Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

Do you know when you get an idea and you get super pumped about it but your brain takes over and before you know it, you are frozen? Well, this overthinking cycle is more common than you think.
One of the top power leaks that women in business have is their mindset. This means your mind can literally be the only thing that’s stopping you from achieving all of the greatness that you know you are capable of.
If you tend to get in your head and overthink, and are ready to stop letting your mind hold you back from actually doing the shit you are here to do, then this week's Powerback® episode is for you.
I'm going to introduce you to a handful of ways to help you shift your mindset and break out of your overthinking cycle to take your Powerback® in your mind, in your time, in your habits, in your life, and in your business.
We’re going to walk through:

What the overthinking cycle looks like
Relearning who you actually are
The Undoing Process: Recognize, Release, Reclaim
