Ep 177 – Are you an overthinker?

Influence & Impact for female leaders

Some of my most popular episodes have been on overthinking and worry and I know from personal experience how much it can hold you back and impact your self-esteem. So I jumped at the chance to interview Nicole Freeman, who coaches many senior professionals around overthinking.

In this episode you’ll hear more about…

• How overthinking is linked to avoiding our feelings

• The 3 key fears that come up for many of us

• The signs that you may be overthinking

• Practical steps you can take to deal with overthinking and build more positive thought patterns

My name’s Carla Miller, leadership coach, author and trainer. And this is the Influence & Impact podcast for women leaders, helping you confidently navigate the ups and downs of leadership and feel less alone on your journey as a leader. In fortnightly episodes I share practical tools and insights from myself and my brilliant guests that will help you succeed in your career.

You might also enjoy episode 110 ‘How to stop overthinking’ and episodes 122 and 123 on worrying.
