Overthinking isn’t a thinking problem. It’s a believing problem. In this episode, I go deeper into last week’s “Now, Later, Not For Me” framework and share the next layer of how to stop treating every thought in your head like it’s the truth. I share the 4 mental traps that keep you stuck, the reason your nervous system keeps sounding the alarm, and the pattern-interrupt technique I’ve used for years to retrain my brain.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
