Summary
Progress stems from what you do. Change requires action yet most of us spend most of our time in thought.
In today's episode we're talking about the destructive impact of overthinking. You do not need to learn from your theoretic strategy - you will learn from your actual strategy.

I'll be sharing a couple of messages I recently received from a client and her struggle to discern the "best path" from her overwhelming barrage of thoughts.
