ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
Our guest for today’s episode is Anne Bogel. Anne is an author, a podcaster, and the creator of the blog Modern Mrs. Darcy. And, she has a brand new book coming out in just a few weeks called Don’t Overthink It: Make Easier Decisions, Stop Second-Guessing, and Bring More Joy to Your Life.
And everyone said, “Amen!” Right? As a chronic overthinker myself, I am SO grateful that she wrote this book.
In today’s episode, I ask Anne a million questions about overthinking: Why we do it, why it’s detrimental, and how we can finally STOP.
I have a feeling y’all are going to love this episode. I know I did. Anne really does talk us through how to make easier decisions, how to stop second-guessing ourselves, and she teaches us how to start to quiet our minds, and replace our worry with peace.
Yes yes yes!
