Why Overthinking is Costing You More Than You Realize

The Balanced Badass Podcast

In this episode, Tara goes headfirst into the annoying habit of overthinking. She opens up about her own brain's antics, like that awkward 'I love you' moment with her boss and those pre-presentation nerves that keep her up at night. Tara shares how overthinking robs us of time, energy, and self-confidence. She reveals some eye-opening stats about how common this is and offers practical, no-BS tips to stop the mental chatter—like getting up and moving, setting worry timers, and just jumping into action. Tara even gives the green light to find professional help if you need it. It's all about managing your mind so you can stay balanced and keep being the badass you are.
