In Episode GU 261, we sit down with Rosemary Gattuso, author of “It's Not You, It's Me”, to explore how overthinking, when viewed through a strength-based lens, becomes a catalyst for deep personal growth. Rosemary discusses the transition from viewing mistakes through a lens of blame to one of understanding and learning. She also introduces practical tools like the “rules of evidence” to filter negative thoughts, and how practicing non-judgmental self-reflection can build a stronger sense of self.

We're sneaking back onto the feed to share a JUICY free portion of our latest project!The Overthinker's Guide to Getting Started is a warm, no-fluff guide for perfectionists, procrastinators, and overthinkers who are tired of waiting for the perfect moment and ready to take action.So if you've been telling yourself you'll start your Substack (ahem), open that Etsy shop, or pick up that creative project “as soon as things calm down,” consider this your gentle nudge.You don't have to be ready.

Are you actually overthinking… or just being thorough? And how do you tell the difference? In this quick episode, we're digging into one of the biggest mindset traps I see with clients — and giving you super actionable ways to take your decision-making process off auto-pilot (without forcing yourself to "just go faster"). We'll cover: ✅ How to tell if your decision process is a problem — or just your style ✅ The energy driving your decision-making (and why this matters more than how long a choice takes) ✅ How to stop defaulting to unhelpful patterns (hint: this has to do with the "Overthinker" label) ✅ Questions to check in on your relationship with your decision process — so you can change what's not working! Bottom line: It isn't "overthinking" every time you take a week to make a choice. Learning the distinction will help you own your decisions with confidence — and take control when your process starts to spin out.

You've probably heard you “should” be more mindful or start meditating…but what does that even mean? In this gentle-yet-grounded episode, Suzanne chats with licensed psychotherapist Anna Khandrueva about what mindfulness actually is, how trauma affects our ability to be present, and why most people overthink meditation (and then quit it). You'll learn why you don't need a special pillow, perfect conditions, or a quiet mind to benefit and why brushing your teeth or standing in a supermarket queue might be all the meditation you need. In this episode we cover: The real difference between mindfulness and meditation (they're not the same!) Why multitasking is mostly just doing a bunch of things badly How trauma makes it harder to be present (and how mindfulness helps heal it) Simple ways to start practicing, 2 minutes at a time Why your meditation practice doesn't need to be “perfect” to work Using mindfulness in everyday chaos, like traffic, footy games, or while brushing your teeth The trap of overachieving even in your “self-care” Free Gift from Anna, Self-compassion meditation and workbook for trauma survivors here:  https://dub.sh/freebie Find out more about Suzanne here: https://www.suzanneculberg.com For exclusive content, including a private solo podcast, join Suzanne's Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/suzanneculberg Enjoy my podcast?

Are you stuck in the endless loop of overthinking? Maybe you've rewritten the same email five times, hesitated to act on a great idea, or turned your to-do list into a novel. Overthinking doesn't just waste time—it keeps you from living fully. In today's episode, Erin tackles how to break free from the analysis paralysis and take intentional, meaningful steps forward. Here's what you need to know: 1. The Problem with Overthinking Overthinking might feel like preparation, but it often paralyzes us instead. As Erin discusses in the episode, overthinking shows up as rehearsing perfect outcomes, hesitating to act, and losing momentum. It's like being in an improv scene where second-guessing kills the energy. For leaders, this habit can hold back both personal progress and team performance. Life, like improv, doesn't follow a script, and trying to control every detail often leads to frustration rather than fulfillment. 2. Start with Your “Why” The first step in simplifying your intentions is finding your purpose. Erin compares this to an improv game where you identify the core idea driving the scene. By clarifying what truly matters to you, you can focus on meaningful goals. Try this exercise: If your life were a play, what would the main character (you!) want to accomplish in this act? By anchoring your goals in purpose, you'll cut through distractions and stay aligned with what's most important. 3. Focus on 1–3 Key Areas One major takeaway from the episode is the power of focus. Just as too many ideas on stage can ruin an improv scene, too many goals can dilute your energy. Erin recommends choosing 1–3 focus areas that align with your “why.” For example, you might prioritize improving relationships, advancing professionally, or nurturing self-care. By narrowing your focus, you'll achieve clarity and make meaningful progress without feeling overwhelmed. 4. Break Goals into Micro-Actions Big goals can feel daunting, but breaking them into micro-actions makes them manageable. In improv, scenes are built line by line—and your goals should work the same way. If your intention is better self-care, start with small, actionable steps, like setting aside five minutes daily to stretch or meditate. Progress builds momentum, and every small win moves you closer to your larger vision. 5. Progress Over Perfection Finally, embrace the improv mindset of progress over perfection. No one delivers the perfect scene every time, and no one achieves their goals without a few missteps. Celebrate small wins along the way and view challenges as opportunities to pivot. In the episode, Erin shares an exercise to overcome mental blocks: shout out the first word that comes to mind to break the cycle of overthinking. It's a simple, effective way to get unstuck and take action. Final Thoughts Overthinking keeps us in our heads, but action moves us forward. Simplifying your intentions is about doing what matters most. Today, take one intention you've been overthinking and break it into the simplest, smallest action you can take. Whether it's sending an email, jotting down your goals, or taking a five-minute breather, start now. Remember, the magic happens when you leap. What's your first step? Share your intention with Erin by tagging her on Instagram (@itserindiehl) or sending an email (info@learntoimproveit.com). Let's keep each other accountable as we make 2025 the year of progress over perfection.
