Ep 5 | Overthinking | Are You Expanding or Overcomplicating Your Perspective?

Apr 17

The beauty and challenge of nuance is that it offers both freedom and overwhelm — especially for those prone to overthinking. In this episode, I explore how my deep love for perspectives, meaning-making, and endless exploration sometimes becomes a source of anxiety rather than clarity. What happens when nuance feels more constricting than expansive? How do we honor where we truly are instead of where we think we should be? Through personal reflection, I unpack the delicate balance of discernment, self-trust, and the timing of our own learning, revealing insights that may resonate with anyone navigating the complexity of their own decisions.
