E.54 What You Tolerate Is Costing You More Than You Think

E.55 Stop Overthinking and Start Moving

In this episode of Coffee with Coaches, we’re talking about something so many people deal with—but rarely say out loud: overthinking.

You’ll hear real talk about: • Why overthinking leads to stagnation and missed opportunities • The hidden cost of doing nothing • How fear and lack of self-trust show up in decision making • Why clarity doesn’t come before action—it comes after • Practical ways to move forward, even when you’re unsure Because at the end of the day, everything is a risk. The real question is… what is it costing you to stay where you are? If you’ve been stuck in your head, waiting for the “right” time or the “perfect” decision—this episode is your reminder to move. Grab your coffee, trust yourself, and build your life and business on purpose.
